Let me tell you a story....
of a little girl who didn't want to be a Princess!!!!

it happened a long time ago, in the life of an adorable girl of seven,
who lived in the busiest humming city, enormously crowded. 

a gentle dreamy-eyed girl, who chose secret corners to read,
and play with her cherished dolls' house, which her father built.

as it happened..her father found a job..and it was an idyllic countryside,
excitedly she followed family, felt fortunate to be close to nature. 

a fairyland of her dreams, a picturesque hamlet surrounded by lush fields, 
lived in a cottage encircled by a gorgeous garden, bird-songs, and swings.

she went to the village-school, which was a mere walking distance,
carrying her backpack, water bottle, and books she needed. 

her father was the powerful manager of the local textile mill,
where most of the villagers worked, and earned their living. 

all the children glanced at her as if she were a Princess,
but this soft dainty lass craved to be purely one of them. 

she noticed...those children were walking barefoot to school, 
no backpack, no bottle of water, no shiny expensive clothes. 

end of the day, she returned home, and declared to her caring parents, 
"I don't need the backpack, bottle for water, or the stylish shoes...

starting from tomorrow, I am going to walk to school barefoot"
her parents were shocked, but didn't disagree with her at all.

from the following day, the warm friendly girl of seven,
felt totally comfortable and undoubtedly right, with her decision. 

all children were frolicking with her, no more was she a distant Princess, 
she was their delightful friend...sharing the same life they had in the village. 

she still remembers those eyes which sparkled with wonder at the way they were accepted, 
a lifelong memory was created, the gesture kindled a feeling of oneness.
