How do I start this story? Let's start with the classic one.

Once upon a time there was a farmer whose daughter was admired by many. She wasn't the prettiest in the land but her kindness made her beautiful.

One day as she was caring for the farm animals, a merchant entered their town. He was a dashing young man and once known for being a troublemaker. He was looking for a place to stay. His horses are tired and one of his horses was injured. He was out of food and money.

The farmer's daughter caught notice of him and offered him some food. The merchant explained his situation so the daughter offered him a place to stay and to take care of his horses as well.

The farmer gladly accepted the merchant at his home. He only stayed for four days but he was awed by the farmer's daughter. She changed how he looked at things. He learned to be kind and forgotten his troublesome ways. They grew close so when it was time for him to leave, he promised to write to her.

They wrote to each other everyday. Through letters they fell in love. They wrote to each other of their daily activities. On some days, the merchant would send love poems or letters with small gifts such as roses and bracelets. The farmer's daughter would send love stories or crafts specially made for her lover.

After five months, the young merchant decided moved into the farmer's town. He bought a small hut and persist his trading business there. He was given the permission to court the farmer's daughter. So, eventually, they got married.

The merchant sold his home and moved in with the farmer's family.

Time passed and soon the farmer passed away in his peaceful sleep. A year later, the daughter's mother joined her husband in her sleep.

The couple renovated their home and they became a wealthy family through trade.

They started a family of their own and had a beautiful baby girl. They named her Ella after her grandmother. She had the kindness and beauty of her mother and the cleverness and cunningness of her father. And she was the only child of the family.

She was raised with love and kindness. Whatever she wished, she was given but she still remained humble.

But that's just the start of our story.
