Once upon a time, years and years ago, there was a little princess, and she was very sad for her mother and father had died.  Before the princess appeared a travelling prince riding uopn a white horse.  He had a regal bearing and a kind smile.  The prince wrapped the princess in a rose-scented embrace and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Little one," he said, "who bears up alone in such deep sorrow. Never lose that tresght or nobility, even when you grow up."  *hands the girl a ring*  "I give you this to remember this day."   "Will we meet again?"  "This ring will lead you to me, one day."

Perhaps the ring the prince gave her was an engagement ring.  This was all well and good, but so impressed was she by him ... that the princess vowed to become a prince herself one day.  But was that really a good idea?
