Daily March 28
In a kingdom far away, a princess and a prince lived happily together. They had a few kids, and were training them up to be respectible princes and princesses themselves. Whenever the young children would ask about their parents, they would tell the story of how the mother detected a pea beneath a massive amount of matresses. They would all laugh, and wave it off as a tall tale, meant to make their story sound more exciting. However, every week, the princess would walk down to the local museuem and look at a tiny pea, which was hard. One day, the queen of the realm happened to be walking in the same museuem as the princess. Seeing the princess looking at the little pea, she was confused. “Why do you still look at such a little pea, my preisous princess?”
“To remind me where it all began. This wonderful life of love and joy. I wouldn't be here without this little pea. I mean, I know you were just testing me, your majesty, but still, it started it all.” the princess replied.
The queen smiled at this statement. “You have a good heart. You are a worthy canadate for the crown. Which is good…your time will come very soon.”
The princess looked up, startled. “The crown? You majesty, I'm still so young…you're still young….I don't think I'm ready!” she said, alarmed.
“Calm down. You'll be fine. You're going to be a great leader. And it's not your time yet. But it will be soon. I think we need to properly prepare that for you, the way the queen before me prepared me, the queen before her prepared her, and so on. The queens in this kingdom have a unique training process that no one, not even our husbands know. Just as a king needs to be ready to lead their people, a queen has too to. We may not lead the military, we may not be the head of the country, but we are the voice of our people. We are the advovates for our people they don't even know about. The pea? The pea was just the beginning, just the first test. Normally, other people don't find out about this, but this time word slipped out. No…the true test is just now beginning. Come now princess. Let's train you to be the best queen this country has ever had.” the queen said, offering her hand out to the princess.
The princess accepted the hand, placing her own hand in the queens.
