Once upon a time there was a very kind young prince, who always took good care of his people. So the fairy godmother granted him three wishes. As always, his first desire was for his people. He wished that all the people of his kingdom were rich and healthy! His second wish was that he would be able to see the future. And his third wish was to find his true love. Her fairy godmother granted her her first two wishes, but told her that her third wish would take time, as true love cannot be found, it has to be earned.
The kingdom prospered and the people were happy with good health and prosperity!
Every time they met their prince, they thanked him for his blessings and praised him.
Since the prince saw the future, he knew that his third wish was in the hands of his people.
He began to travel far and wide doing good and great works for his people.
He helped the poor and protected the weak. Then, one fine day, he met his true love in a tiny farmhouse. She was immensely impressed by his good works and loved him deeply forever!
