Once upon a time, in a Kingdom far far away, there was a king and a queen. They had only a daughter, named Arika. They were living happily and the people of the Kingdom were also happy under their rule.
Arika was pretty and kind hearted. She was loved by everyone. The king and queen were mostly busy, looking after their kingdom. They couldn't give their daughter enough attention. She got all the comforts and luxury in the castle,but felt lonely in the huge castle. Almost everyday she would ride her black horse and spend her time visiting her Kingdom and asking about their wellbeing. She was always ready to do any kind of help they need. She felt happy to see the people happy, even if they are poor. The people sometimes feel hesitated to share their needs with the princess, which the princess also sensed sometimes. They always thanked Arika and blessed her for her kindness.
When Arika was a kid, she mostly spends her time near the lake, nearby the castle. There were small fishes in the lake. The fishes were colourful and glittery. She was fascinated to watch them. She used to stare at them for hours and feed them. Gradually she became attached to those fishes. Everyday in the evening, she sat by the lake and used to talk with the fishes about everything...about her family...how she had spend her day....her feelings....without any hesitation, though the fishes never talked back. She felt happy with them. Gradually everyone knew about her attachment with the fishes.
