Lived — there was a princess. Real, fabulous. And as beautiful as they write about them in books. That is, blond, with a wasp waist and big blue eyes. In the kingdom where she lived, everyone was talking about her beauty. Only the princess was always unhappy. Either the throne was given to her hard, or the chocolate is too bitter. And she grumbled all day long.
Somehow she heard from a boy who was running after her carriage, unusual loud words. And there was such anger and some strange strength in them that the princess realized that if these words were used in the kingdom, then everyone would definitely be frightened of her and from this they would love her even more. And so she began to do so. Whatever doesn’t suit her immediately shouts: “You are a freak, brainless beast,” and the servants immediately part, and the priest asks if she would please something special. It hurts too angry because. The princess realized that there was great power in evil words and began to use them left and right in order to strengthen her power …
But one day this happened. The blond princess, grumbling and scolding everyone as always, went to her favorite garden. Here she could be alone and admire the swans swimming in the pond. Passing a familiar road, she suddenly noticed a new exotic flower. He was great. The princess bent over him, inhaled his scent and said: “Where are you from, Wonder Flower?” And the flower answered her in a human voice that his seed had arrived from a distant galaxy to help the inhabitants of the Earth solve their problems and, if necessary, give advice. Like, this is his mission. The princess and the flower became friends. And the tsar-father began to drop into the garden, asking for all advice on how to conduct state affairs reasonably and correctly. And this kingdom became exemplary. Ambassadors from all over the world came here to receive a decree on how to live better and more correctly. That’s just about the princess began to talk less. And her beauty too. Although she was still beautiful.
The princess became offended. He will come to the flower and begin: “I thought you would only love me, help me alone. And I see that soon there will be no time for me — all these ambassadors and idlers from other countries. And so it began to repeat itself every day. The princess became more and more dissatisfied, more and more scolded those who took away her love and her flower.
One day she woke up in a bad mood: “Oh, I woke up, but the coffee is not ready yet? Where is that idle maid? And where is my new dress — yesterday my father ordered these scoundrels to embroider it with beads? And that today such dirty clouds have crept in, the whole castle is as if in ink? The princess grumbled and cursed. Everyone in the morning got curses and even cuffs from her. “What is the matter with me today?” thought the princess. “I’ll go and ask that ugly flower for advice.” It made me love less. Everyone just admires him.»
The princess was walking through the park, and nothing pleased her. No emerald grass, no goldfish, no graceful swans. And her wonderful flower, when she came closer, turned out to be withered and lifeless. «What’s wrong with you?» asked the princess. “I am your soul,” answered the flower. “You killed me today. I can’t help anyone anymore. The only thing I can still do is preserve your beauty. But on one condition. Now look at yourself in the mirror…” The princess looked at her and was stunned: an evil terrible witch was looking at her from the mirror, all wrinkled and with a twisted mouth. «Who is it?» cried the princess.
«It’s you,» answered the flower. “This is how you will become in a few years if you use gee words filled with evil power.” These words are sent to you from galaxies that want to destroy earthly beauty and conquer your world. There is great power in these words and sounds. They destroy everything, and above all the beauty and the person himself. Do you want to be like this?» «No,» whispered the princess. “Then I will die. But remember, even if you accidentally utter a gee word, you will turn into the one that looks at you from the mirror. And with these words the flower died. The princess wept for a long time and watered the dead stem of the plant with her tears. She cried and asked for his forgiveness.
Since that day, the princess has changed a lot. She woke up with joy, showered kisses on her daddy, thanked everyone who helped her during the day. She was radiant with light and happiness. The whole world spoke again about her beauty and her wonderful and easy character. And soon there was one to whom she happily said “yes” and married him. And they were very happy.
Only once a day the princess went to a corner of the garden with a crystal bucket. She watered an invisible flower and believed that one day a new sprout would appear here, because if you love and water, then the flowers will sprout again, because the amount of goodness in the world should increase. This was what the flower said to her in parting, and she sincerely believed in it.
