The Princess & the Robot

This is just something fun I've been working on.  It's a story I tell my daughter at night.  I wish I could draw because I would love to include some pictures and print it out for her!

The Princess and the Robot

There once was a Princess of a magnificent kingdom.    

There was no one nicer or more beautiful than her.

Because of her beauty and perfection she was always given everything that she wanted.  She did not abuse this privilege.  It was simply the way things were for her. 

One day the Princess was playing in the hills by herself, when a robot appeared.

The Princess had found a new friend.  They played for days.

Months

Years

One day the Princess came to the field searching for her robot friend.  He was nowhere to be found.

She searched the hills

Mountains

Fields

He was gone.

The Princess cried for days

Months

Years later, the Princess was leaving the school yard when to her surprise she spied something in the distance.

Her robot friend!

She ran to him but hesitated as she approached.

“My robot, where did you go?  How could you leave me so?”
“My Princess, the reason for my being was one only, to teach you loss so that you could be the best ruler of all.”

“Being given all in sight when you are deserving is a great thing, but all must know what it is to lose something you love.”

Tears filled the Princesses eyes, “You have given me the greatest gift of all”

The Princess went on to become the greatest Queen, as lessons are sometimes only learned through heartache and pain.
