The princess had everything she could ever want—pretty dresses, shiny jewels, and a big palace to live in. But even with all these things, she often felt unhappy.

No one asked her what she liked or how she felt. This made the princess feel sad and tired. “I wish someone would like me for who I really am,” she said softly one day.
