Once Upon A Time....
Once upon a time there was a little princess. She was a pretty girl and she smiled and laughed alot and had many many friends. She had a beautiful sister and loving parents too. The little princess played like children do and had a fine royal childhood. When the little princess moved from the north country to the southern country with her family, they settled in and made new friends and became happy there as well.
Eventually the little princess grew up to become a lovely teenager. She met a man and fell madly in love with him. He fell in love with her too and they were married. Their friends and family were very pleased and it looked like they would live happily ever after for the rest of their lives. One day, though, a terrible accident befell the princess and she fell into a deep deep sleep. Her beloved stayed by her side for many days and many nights, and her royal parents and sister also came to sit with her and talk to her and to pray for her return to her happy self.
Years passed and the princess did not completely awake. Her parents and sister could get her to respond only a little bit and her husband remained very sad. He began to worry that the princess might tell her family that he could have helped her more than he did at the time of the accident and that they would not think well of him. He began to see other friends so that he could have someone to talk to and that things wouldn't seem so dreary to him.
Presently, the husband decided he should ask the courts for a large amount of d'argent to make him feel a little better in spite of the horrible turn of events in his life. The courts awarded him a treasure chest of dollars, for his was truly a sad tale. And his life would, alas, not be as he had hoped. The treasure did make him feel better right away. He and his favorite new friend (a woman) decided they needed to spend some of the money on keeping his mind off of his troubles and some of it on the princess' hospital bills. The princess' beloved ruminated on their situation every day and he finally reasoned that she was not going to ever again become the beautiful young woman he once loved. In fact, each day, he found he loved her a little less.
One day he went to the royal hospital, closed the door, and injected the princess in four places with a large amount of insulin. When they were very young, she and he both thought they could never be happy if they were not as vital as they were right then. He thought that the insulin might hasten her demise, thereby lifting her to heaven and away from what he imagined to be an intolerable existence.
He also thought he would have some money left over to enjoy with his new best friend. The princess, however, did not die that day. An apothecary woman came to her rescue and she survived (although the apothecary woman was unceremoniously canned for helping her). Meanwhile, the princess' beloved continued his friendship with his new friend. In fact, they began living together in the same cottage and one right after the other, she delivered two babies fathered by the princess' husband. He simply could not bear not being able to move forward in his life with his new family. He could not wait any longer. After all, he wasn't getting any younger, was he? And of course he could not divorce a princess who had been awarded such a large treasure. It became a true dilemma for him. If only she would just die, he thought. This is just such an inconvience and it's not FAIR!
So he talked the townsmen into the idea that the princess no longer needed food nor drink to survive. He said she would pass on to be with God if it was His will and that they should not allow her food nor drink. They agreed her life looked dismal to them and said to themselves, "My o me... I wouldn't want to live in that kind of way, either. It must be for the best, must'n it?"
But the King and Queen disagreed. They said they wanted to take care of the Princess. They took the disagreement they had with the princess' husband to the Court Jesters in the town. The Court Jesters said, "This is a personal decision made by the princess and her husband and we can't rule against the wishes of them both." So the princess languished growing weaker every day, her body aching without the needed postassium in it, and her organs tiring without nutrients to keep them working.
The King and Queen were deeply saddened and did not know which way to turn. They appealed to the townspeople yet again, they appealed to the Court Jesters, and they appealed to the apothecary men and women. Some of them lifted their voices to try to save the life of the princess, but no one was able to change her fate for five days. To Be Continued.....
