In the warm glow of the setting springtime sun, a cool breeze seemed to blow all the exhaustion of the workday away. The children has just been released from school, and they rushed like a flock of birds away from the campus grounds. These last two days, a handsome wandering poet had come to town. His knowledge of the wider world was vast, and he was full of fantastic tales of places the world over. All the children loved the kind and gentle man.
Little Girl	Mr. Beer! I'm here! I'm first!
Little Boy	Mr. Beer! Mr. Beer! Tell us some more stories today! Will you?!
Beer	Okay, okay. What story do you want to hear today?
Little Girl	We want to hear the story of the gemstone and the princess!
Beer	Uh...Why don't we save that story for another day?
Little Girl	No, today! Mr. Beer, you said we could choose the story if we were good at school!
Beer	Alright, alright. A long, long time ago, there was a wonderful kingdom. They had a beautiful queen, and a lovely princess.
The beautiful princess was the darling of the country. Everyone gave her the best of everything. And she took it all for granted. The good times did not last long. She was accustomed to getting everything she wanted, and she forgot that not everyone would spoil her like that. The princess of a neighboring country had a precious necklace. It was really quite beautiful. So beautiful that once the first princess saw it, she couldn't stop thinking about it. And so she told the princess of the neighboring country...
Stargazy Pie	I permit you to give me the necklace.
The princess of the neighboring country rejected her request. So our little princess simply stole the necklace.
Beer	And finally she put on that necklace, even though it made everyone very angry.
Hearing this, there was disapproval on all the children's faces.
Little Girl	Hey!! How could a princess do something like that?!
Little Boy	Yeah! That's not right!
Beer	So you must behave better than your princess.
Little Boy	My mommy taught me that I can't always get everything I want.
Little Girl	Right, how come the princess didn't know that? Didn't the princess have a mommy too?
Beer	The princess did not have such a good mother as yours, and no one was willing to tell her the truth like your mother did.
Little Boy	Oh...Then I don't know if I should hate the princess or pity her. If people stop being nice to her one day because she doesn't know how to behave, then she would be sad for sure.
Little Girl	Oh! Mr. Beer! So what happened to the princess in the end?!
Beer	...She finally realized her mistake and returned the necklace to the other princess.
Little Girl	Oh, good! The princess made up for her mistake!
Beer	Yes...If only she'd repented...Everything would've been okay...
Little Girl	Mr. Beer, what are you talking about?
Beer	Oh, nothing. How about I tell you the story of the little goddess and the king...
