Once upon a time, there lived a King, Queen and their daughter, princess Emily. The King and Queen wanted Princess Emily to get married. So, they invited all the men in the village to see the princess and advised them to ask for her hand in marriage, but Princess Emily did not like any of them. Then the King decided that Princess Emily should disguise as a beggar.
One night, Princess Emily went out of the palace dressed like a beggar to find her life partner. She was walking by the road side when she saw a man eating and she begged him for some food but he laughed and chased her away. She kept walking until she saw another on a horse, she begged him for food but he refused and said no. She kept asking all the young men that she saw but they all said no.
Then a poor man saw Princess Emily and he had pity on her and decided to give her food. He called her and gave her all the food he had. Princess Emily was very happy that she found a nice and sincere person. She rushed back to her parents and told them that she found her life partner and she brought him to introduce to her parents.
The poor man was so surprised that the beggar was the princess. When Princess Emily narrated the whole story to him, he agreed to marry her and they lived happily ever after.
