Long ago, there was a princess whose 

name was Leena. Her mother, the queen, 

had died after Leena's birth. The king 

loved his daughter very much, but taking 

care of his kingdom kept him so busy that 

he has little time for her.

The little princess contented herself 

with studying in the tower library or 

wandering about the palace and its 

grounds asking questions of all she 

met.

"Can't you make anything but carrot cake 

for dessert?" she asked the Royal Baker.

"Indeed I can." he answered

"The why don't you?" the princess asked.

"King order", said the Royal Baker

"Why are you wearing that silly thing on 

your head?" Leena asked one of the 

Royal Guard.

"King orders" answered the Royal Guard

"Do all flowers look alike?" she asked 

to the Royal Gardener.

"Indeed not,"answered the Royal 

Gardener.

"Then why don't you plant other 

kinds?" the princess asked

"King orders," said the Royal Gardener 

who planted nothing but tulips."Only 

Tulips grown in this country."

Everywhere Leena went she 

asked questions . The answer 

was always the same .. "King 

orders."

When Leena grew tired of studying in the palace 

tower or wandering around asking questions, she 

visited Old Lin, who lived in a small cottage at the 

palace gate. Old Lin has a fairy named Lily.

 Leena, Old Lin and Lily spent many happy 

hours roaming through the nearby woods and 

fields.

From Old Lin and Lily, Leena learned the 

ways of wild creatures and the mysteries of 

making healing potions from the herbs they 

gathered.

Leena and Lily studied 

the secrets of the stars.

Slowly a deep bond of friendship 

grew. And one night to confirm that 

friendship. Old Lin shared with Leena 

her most precious gift - the power of 

magic and her fairy, Lily. 

"People should live in houses they want,choose 

the clothes they want, grow the flowers they 

like...." ...."and they're going to, right now," "For 

I am change everything with my magic power.

"No, No," Old Lin cautioned. "You should not use your 

magic unless all fails." said Lily

"If I can't use my magic, I shall find a way to use my 

intelligence when the time comes." the princess 

replied

"I know you will." said Old Lin.

Leena was puzzled at first. But then she 

smiled and gave Old Lin a Hug

Years went by in this fashion until it came to 

the king one day that Princess Leena was no 

longer a child but a woman.

"My crown is getting heavy for me to 

wear." said the king to his 

counselors. "I have been king long 

enough" he continued. "The time has 

come for the Princess to rule the 

Kingdom.

"Princess Leena?!" exclaimed Chief 

Counselor.

"Girls can't rule kingdoms!"

Now Princess Leena love her father 

and wanted to pleased him she saw, 

however, that there was the chance 

she had been waiting for.

"If you teach me," she said, "I can rule the 

Kingdom."

"You!" exploded Chief Counselor. "It's clear, Your 

Majesty, that Princess Leena has not had a proper 

education."

"Princesses should spend their time trying 

on gowns and jewels and going to balls." 

said Super Chief Counselor.

The king was rather pleased with his daughter's 

straightforward answer, but as he was move tired 

than he like to admit, he easily gave in to the 

counselor's pressures.

Thus it was a princess Leena was forced 

to spend her days trying on things that 

the king's       counselors thought made a 

proper princess..

dressing gowns, dinner gowns and ball 

gowns

Lace shawls for summer

Silver capes for winter

Mantillas and bonnets and hoods

slippers, sandals and boots

bracelets, necklaces and rings.

Almost every night there was a great ball 

in her honor.
