The Honest Princess


Once upon a time, there lived a princess called Tanya. She lived in very big castle.
The King and Queen wanted her to marry a handsome knight called Norman, who
would often visit them to discuss the land they shared, so Tanya and Norman saw
plenty to each other.
However Tanya didn’t love Norman. Although they had known each other, Tanya
couldn’t love him because Norman was very boastful.
One day Princess Tanya was talking to Norman about the new decorations which the
King and Queen were going to make in the castle. Suddenly, Norman changed the
topic and said, :Tanya, I really love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Tanya was shocked, but she said, “Norman, you are a handsome knight, but I like to
be honset with people, so I’m going to tell the truth. I’m going to tell you what I don’t
like about you. Firstly, you’re a show-off. You like boasting about the clothes you
wear when really a person’s clothes aren’t important. Secondly, you spit in the street
which is disgusting. Lastly, I’m not going to marry you just because my parents tell
me to. I’m going to marry a man I really love.”
Norman was shocked but he reflected long on what the princess had said. He actually
felt bad about her opinion of him, but he soo cheered up when he realized that all the
things she mentioned were things he could change. He thought that his personality
didn’t annoy her, but his behavior did.
Therefore Norman began trying not to brag baout his clothes, and started to feel
happy in more mdest clothing. He also learned not to spit in the street. And finally he
went to talk to the King and Queen to ask them to talk to pirncess Tanya about him,
and that way she wouldn’t feel preassured into marrying him.
Then Tanya and Norman continued spending time together. Princess Tanya gradually
began to notice the change in Norman’s habits.
No longer after that, Princess Tanya tried to notice other details about Norman and to
like him. Eventually, Princess Tanya fell in love and married him. They live happily.
