My dear child I have a story for you. One day there were three flowers. A beautiful purple tulip with a stem as green as emerald. Then there was a Orchid that was pink and covered in soft white spots it grew against the wall decorating it with its beauty. Then in the shadow there was a single black rose her petals as beautiful as the night with the stem made of crimson but she was covered with thorns. One day there were three your men in search for gifts for their soulmates. The first young man walked right past the lonely black rose with thorns to the purple tulip he approved the purple tulip and took it for his soulmate. The second young man went over to the rose but disapproved of the thorns on the stem of the rose and took the orchid instead for his soulmate. After he left the third young man came he walked over to the rose and admires her beauty he smiled and happily accepted the rose not because she was the only one left but being her beauty is not of the outside but of the inside. That is how a true king chooses his queen.
