The fire princess
Once upon a time there was an incredibly rich, beautiful and wise princess. Tired of false suitors who approached her to get her wealth, she made it public that she would marry whoever brought her the most valuable, tender and sincere gift at the same time. The palace was filled with flowers and gifts of all types and colors, incomparable love letters and poets in love. And among all those magnificent gifts, he discovered a stone; a simple and dirty stone. Intrigued, she called the person who had given it to her. Despite her curiosity, she was very offended when the young man appeared, and he explained himself saying:
- That stone represents the most valuable thing I can give you, princess: it is my heart. And it is also sincere, because it is not yours yet and it is hard as a stone. Only when it is filled with love will it soften and be more tender than any other.
The young man left calmly, leaving the princess surprised and trapped. She was so in love that she carried the stone with her everywhere, and for months she filled the young man with gifts and hospitality, but her heart was still as hard as stone in her hands. Discouraged, she ended up throwing the stone into the fire; at once he saw the sand melt, and from that rough stone emerged a beautiful figure of gold. Then she understood that she herself would have to be like fire, and transform everything she touched, separating the useless from the important.
During the following months, the princess set out to change in the kingdom, and as with stone, she dedicated her life, her wisdom and her wealth to separating the useless from the important. It ended the luxury, the jewels and the excesses, and the people of the country had food and books. Those who dealt with the princess were delighted by her character and closeness, and her mere presence transmitted such human warmth and passion for what she did that they began to affectionately call her "The Fire Princess".
And as with the stone, its fire broke the hard crust of the young man's heart, which, as he had promised, turned out to be so tender and just that he made the princess happy until the end of her days
