A long, long time ago, a little princess was born in the kingdom of fairy tales.
As the king's only daughter, the little princess was extremely pampered, and whatever she wanted, the king would say yes to.
Gradually, the little princess became more and more arrogant and arrogant. Ordinary things could no longer satisfy her. She hoped that everything she had was the only one in the world, and no one was qualified to be like her.
Like the cup she drinks from, the dress she wears, and the palace she lives in, all of them are specially made to order. They are unique in the entire kingdom, and there will never be a second copy that is exactly the same.
But the little princess was still not satisfied.
Because one night, when she saw the round moon hanging in the night sky, emitting a soft light, illuminating the sleeping world, the little princess suddenly realized that such a beautiful moon is not my own.
No matter the princes, nobles or merchants, they can see it and appreciate it just like the noble princesses.
This is so nasty.
The little princess immediately asked the king that only she could have the moon, and others were not allowed to even look at it.
But the moon hangs high in the sky, and the king who does not return to the earth is in charge.
The little princess kept crying, and the king had no choice but to order that the moon in the sky belonged to the princess alone, and everyone else could no longer look up at the moon. Anyone who dared to violate this order would be cut off.
Everyone was scared and helpless about this absurd order. Although everyone liked the moon, no one dared to take risks with their heads. So every night, the people of the entire kingdom would bow their heads and dare not look up again. the moon in the sky.
The little princess thought proudly, from now on, the moon will be mine alone.
But she soon discovered that even if everyone didn't look up at the moon, its beautiful appearance would always be reflected in the pond, in the mirror, and even in the bright silver bowls and china plates.
Even if everyone bows their heads, they can still see the moon that belongs only to her.
The little princess lost her temper, and then the kingdom issued a new order, requiring everyone to drain the pond, smash mirrors, and do not use silver bowls and china plates, or they would be cut off.
These requirements are really too much and will bring people a lot of trouble, but in order to save their heads, everyone has to comply.
Having said that, she has already achieved this level, so the little princess should feel satisfied, right?
not at all.
She was only satisfied for a short time. After a few days, when she went to the beach to play, she found that the moon was still reflected in the boundless sea, and the light moonlight was broken between the waves, showing another peaceful style.
The little princess was so angry that she was about to explode.
Why can any fisherman fishing in the sea or a child playing on the beach admire the moon? These thieves are so annoying, I will never allow them to continue stealing the moon that only belongs to me!
However, there is too much water in the sea, and there is no way to completely drain it, and the previous methods will not work.
The little princess doesn't care about this. In the palace from morning to night, the headache-ridden king has to issue a new order. Everyone has to cover their eyes with cloth strips at night, so they can't see anything, so they don't exist. Take a peek at the moon.
This new order really hurt ordinary people in the kingdom. Everyone's life became more and more difficult, and everyone sighed and complained.
But what do these complaints have to do with the noble little princess?
Every night, she sat contentedly on the highest terrace of the palace, admiring the moon that belonged only to her.
Unfortunately, within a few days, the good mood of the little princess once again disappeared as the moon changed from round to short.
She thought angrily, how can the moon in the sky be round and incomplete at the same time? What she wants is a flawless full moon, only the most perfect thing in the world is worthy of her, a crooked moon that is not good-looking, she doesn't want it!
Facing the crying of his daughter, the king posted a reward notice at the gate of the palace, hoping that someone could make the moon look like a full moon forever, but until the notice was torn by wind and rain, no one came to apply.
It's no wonder, who can change the cloudiness of the moon?
The moon hangs high in the sky. It can be round if it wants to be round, and it will be short if it wants to be missing. No one can control it.
At this time, the little princess was so angry that she shouted that she didn't want the moon anymore, and never again.
Of course, what she doesn't want can't be given to others. The arrogant little princess has always had this kind of temperament. Even if she doesn't like the good things she has, she still feels that others are not worthy to take over.
Then the moon she doesn't want can only be destroyed.
So the content of the reward notice at the gate of the palace also changed. The king began to look for a new capable person, hoping that the other party would destroy the moon and never be seen by anyone again.
A strange girl tore down the notice of the reward and walked into the palace.
She claims to be a black witch and can use spells that call for wind and rain. Just like the king made everyone cover their eyes with cloth strips before, she can also attract dark clouds to cover the sky and completely cover the moon, so that the moon will not been seen again.
The little princess was very interested in this proposal and immediately asked the girl to cast spells.
And the girl's spell was indeed effective. That night, thick dark clouds covered the sky so tightly that no moonlight could penetrate, and the whole world was completely plunged into darkness.
The little princess laughed happily, feeling very proud of her omnipotence.
The whole world must listen to her, and there can be no violation.
Even if the moon hangs high in the sky, it can't be round if she wants to, and she can always manage it if she wants to be short!
But this night is nothing special to ordinary people. They have already covered their eyes with cloth strips. They can't see anything anyway. Whether the moon is exposed or hidden behind dark clouds doesn't matter to them. the difference.
It was just the most ordinary quiet night.
The next morning, as the sun rose, people took off their blindfolded cloth strips. They thought it was just an ordinary day, but they were surprised to find that the owner of the palace had changed.
The new king was the queen of the neighbouring kingdom, a queen known all over the world for her kindness, kindness, and intelligence.
Last night, under the cover of darkness, she led her army into the kingdom. Without much effort, she successfully defeated the king's army and changed the owner of the kingdom.
After all, in a kingdom where everyone will blindfold after dark, and there is no moonlight to give warning and guidance, it would be too easy to attack.
A new fairy tale kingdom was born, and that night, the Queen held a grand celebration at the palace. She announced at the ceremony that from now on, everyone will no longer have to cover their eyes with cloth strips, drain ponds and smash mirrors, use silver bowls and porcelain plates as they want, and go to the ocean and beaches as they want. .
Of course, the most important thing is that everyone can enjoy the moon to the fullest, and no one will lose their heads just because they want to see the moon.
Everyone cheered excitedly, sang, and celebrated warmly inside and outside the palace. Everyone looked forward to the early dispersal of the dark clouds, so that they could meet the long-lost moon again.
No one noticed that the queen came alone to the highest terrace of the palace to express her gratitude to a young girl.
That's right, it was the girl who cast a spell to cover the moonlight with dark clouds. At this time, her whole body was exuding a soft silver light, which looked so similar to the moonlight that was lost in this world before.
The girl did not accept the Queen's proposal to invite her to the celebration ceremony, but leaped lightly onto the clouds with a gust of evening wind.
In an instant, the dark clouds that originally covered the night sky all dissipated, and a full moon reappeared in the sky. She is so moving and beautiful, and everyone can be healed by its light, and have a gentle and sweet dream in the sleepy midnight.
Perhaps, some lucky people will hear the girl's brisk laughter in their dreams.
"A moon like me just likes to hang high in the sky. It can be round if it wants to be round, and it will be short if it wants to be missing. No one can control it!"
