Beginner · ≈ 1 min story · 1 min read

When the King of Fairyland falls sick, the fairy princess disguises herself and travels alone to a distant forest to find healing herbs. There she meets Ethan, who offers to help a girl he thinks is a stranger. Once they have gathered the herbs, she tells him who she really is and promises to come whenever he calls. The two stay best friends for life.

The King of Fairyland was very sick, and only special herbs from a distant forest could save him. Everyone was afraid to travel so far, so the fairy princess disguised herself and went alone. Deep in the forest, she met a young man named Ethan. Ethan was kind and brave. When he saw her searching for herbs, he said, “You look like you could use some help.”

Together, they gathered the herbs she needed. At last, the girl smiled and said, “Ethan, I must tell you the truth. I am the fairy princess. You helped me even when you thought I was just a stranger.” Ethan looked surprised. She continued, “Whenever you need me, call for me, and I will come.”

From that day on, Ethan and the fairy princess remained best friends for life.
