Once upon a time, a princess from Paris , met a prince from another Kingdom in Germany. Both were very different because of their culture, their language, and their daily life, but love is more powerful than all these things.
ResponderEliminarIt was Peter’s birthday, the prince of the Auradon Kingdom, and to celebrate it, he organized a meal. Many of the princesses from the most beautiful countries were going to be there. But, there was a condition: only one from each kingdom would be selected, and that depended on the gift that they would bring to the “party” (because on that day too, Peter would choose one of them to get married)
Peter’s family elected 5 princesses in total from: Germany, England, France, Switzerland and Spain. They had to go to the Castle with the most incredible cell phones, clocks with diamonds and robots with special functions, because he loved technology, more than anything in the world. He had a dream: to create new technology with a purpose, made himself the richest man in the world.
The important day came, and, with it, 4 princesses with incredible gifts assisted: flying computers, and cell phones with fairies. The fifth, Wendy, who came from Paris, made a difference: the only thing that she brought to him was a letter in white. She explained to him that the letter reflected his history, because it had nothing written on it. Just then,he realized that he felt empty all that time, and that he was hiding in a superficial world. He realized that a person to be happy just needed a little love and, true happiness; and at the same time, he realized that the princess, despite possessing the same wealth as Peter had, had other values, that money can’t buy.
The next day, they decided to get married. He saw in her what he had never seen in other woman. Peter started living because of her.
