princess Sofia's beautiful dress
In one month, Princess Sofia will have her 13th birthday party. On her birthday, Princess Sofia wants to be the prettiest girl at her birthday party. To that end, from far away the princess asked her father for the most beautiful and beautiful birthday dress.
“I'm asking for a dress decorated with sapphire and rubies, Dad!” princess Sofia's message to her father, King Nobio.
“It's too much, dear. Your dresses are still a lot of good, wear it first,” said the Queen advised.
“Our kingdom is experiencing problems, Princess,” added King Nobio. “Paceklik and droughts make the people of our kingdom live hard. Plants are difficult to grow, so the people are hungry,” explained King Nobio further.
Princess Sofia bends her face, pouting. “Our kingdom will also be embarrassed if, Her daughter wears an ugly dress,” Princess Sofia's whistle. “If there is no beautiful new dress as I want, I will break down!” exclaiming Princess Sofia ketus while closing the door of her room loudly.
The king and queen looked at each other resignedly and confused to face the attitude of Princess Sofia who was stubborn and selfish. The dress that Princess Sofia requested was certainly very expensive. While the royal treasury began to thin to cover the needs of the people. Finally, with a heavy heart, a heavy decision was made by the king. Sapphire and ruby gemstone-studded dresses will be made for Princess Sofia. How happy Princess Sofia is. All day he smiled as he went back and forth the palace sewing room. All the court dressmakers worked hard to make the most beautiful dress that Princess Sofia wanted for her birthday party.
Birthday is approaching, Princess Sofia's dress is almost so. Beautiful sparkling sapphire and ruby gemstones adorn Princess Sofia's dress. However, the day before the birthday party was held, the royal main tailor was suddenly unable to finish the remaining stitches that stayed a little. In a hurry, he asked King Nobio for permission to take a vacation, because his son was very sick.
Princess Sofia who heard the news, started to frown again. “Why did you give your Aunt Elly permission, the principal tailor of the kingdom to take a day off? My dress will not be finished. I don't want to know, my dress has to be before my birthday party starts!” princess Sofia Protest.
King Nobio smiled full of mystery, “Then why don't you meet the master tailor at his house, Putri?” the King of Nobio. Princess Sofia looks doubtful. He rarely went out of the palace. But for the sake of the pretty dress she wanted, Princess Sofia decided to go to the house of Aunt Elly the royal master tailor on the edge of the field.
Along the way Princess Sofia was surprised by the state of her kingdom. It's true what his father said. All the rice fields and fields in the kingdom died and were arid. Children who used to play were also invisible. The sound of children crying for food or complaining of pain was heard from the houses that Princess Sofia passed.
Princess Sofia closed her ears while tightly hugging her unfinished birthday dress. He quickened his swing of steps towards the royal main tailor's house. In her mind there were only dresses and dresses.
Princess Sofia was stunned as soon as she arrived at the royal main tailor's house. The house is very simple with mahogany walls that have been somewhat weathered. A dirty chimney makes the house in front of it look a little unkempt. Princess Sofia looked again at the floor plan drawn by her father.
Is this really Aunt Elly's house? Princess Sofia asked herself. A little hesitant, Princess Sofia knocked on the door of the house. A 5-year-old boy opened the door. His body is skinny and squeaky.
“Hai!” greet Princess Sofia clumsy. “Is Aunt Elly around?” puti Sofia asked with a stiff smile.
The boy nodded back to Princess Sofia's smile. “Please enter!” he said while opening the door wider so that Princess Sofia could enter.
“That's Mama!” show the boy. Princess Sofia sees Aunt Elly feeding a girl her age who is lying weak.
“Princess Sofia!” exclaimed Aunt Elly while rising up to welcome the arrival of Princess Sofia. “Sorry, Aunt's house is like this!”
Princess Sofia smiles, “It's okay, Auntie. Oh he's a kid, Auntie?” princess Sofia asked as she turned her eyes to the girl in front of her who was smiling weakly.
Aunt Elly nodded sadly. “It's been a week Ony sick, Princess. But his illness is getting worse by the day. Physicians are very expensive, we can't afford to pay” Aunt Elly's story.
The face of Aunt Elly and Ony who were lying sick made Princess Sofia sad. She no longer thinks about her dress. Princess Sofia is looking for ideas to help Aunt Elly. She wears her gleaming birthday dress. Suddenly Princess Sofia gets an idea.
It's okay to lose one sapphire, the important thing is Ony can heal, Princess Sofia's bathin in heart. Princess Sofia pulled out one sapphire and gave it to Aunt Elly.
“Jeez, this is too expensive!” aunt Elly was shocked.
“Take, Aunty. It's to cure Ony,” said Princess Sofia sincerely. “Come the greatest healer!”
Princess Sofia was ready to go back to the palace. While accompanied by a wave of Aunt Elly's hands crying happily, Princess Sofia smiled widely. His heart was never this happy. Along the way home, Princess Sofia met many people in distress. Everyone who needs help, Princess Sofia will give the gemstone of her dress.
And so on, Princess Sofia gave one by one the jewels in her dress until there was nothing left. Princess Sofia's dress is no longer sparkling. The dress is just an ordinary dress. But strangely, Princess Sofia was not sad. He was so happy because he helped so many people.
“How about your dress, Princess?” King Nobio asked as soon as Princess Sofia arrived at the palace.
With the sweetest smile, Princess Sofia replied, “I've got the prettiest dress, Daddy!” Princess Sofia showed her dress that was no longer sparkling. “Beautiful dress is not of many gems, Father! But a beautiful dress is a simple dress that can make others happy. I think the people of our kingdom are more proud to have a caring princess than a beautiful dress princess,” Princess Sofia said cheerfully as she hugged her dress.
King Nobio and the queen smiled at each other winking. Their plan and Aunt Elly turned out to be successful.
