The Nice Princess Guide

When the princess woke up, she found herself locked in a small room.

She realized what had happened.

A witch had kidnapped her...

The princess closed her eyes and took deep breaths.

She searched in her brain’s memory.

“The Nice Princess’s Guide” chapter- “What to do when a witch abducts you?” flashed in her mind!

“Buttering and oiling helps. Be nice to the witch and flatter her! Try oiling her hair!”

The princess looked for oil in the room.

"Walk straight & tall; Sit properly,
Don't burp or slurp; Eat nicely; 
Take care of your body & face;
Carry yourself with grace...
👸 👑
Don't climb a tree or ride a bike;
Behave well; Be prim & lady-like.
Don't argue or raise your voice;
You're a Princess- you've no choice..."
👸 👑
Supposed-to-be Queen after princess,
Felt like a pawn on a board of Chess!
Despite this, she had a mind of her own.
They couldn't set her life's tune or tone.

Princess Or Witch?

The royal astrologer was being consulted about the Prince’s horoscope.

“He will have two ladies in his life shortly- a Witch & a Princess…”, he predicted confidently.

The Queen was very worried.

She inquired, “But, whom will he marry? How will he recognize the right girl for him?”

PAUSitive Choice!

Once upon a time when there were Kings & Queens, there was a Princess named Roopwati. She was very beautiful. 

When it was time for Roopwati to get married, her parents fixed up a Swayamvar* for her. 

Many eligible young Princes had gathered.

Roopwati was secretly observing them from her hiding-place.

Prince Om caught her eye at first sight.

His clean shaven look bowled her over!

Roopwati had set a screening challenge for them. Whoever cleared the initial ‘test’ would proceed to the next round that was the actual Swayamvar.

Her father, the King, was apprehensive if anyone could clear the tough test set by his daughter.

Roopwati found herself praying that may Prince Om qualify!
