Introduction: Once upon a time, in a faraway land, lived a princess called Lotus. She had grown up beautifully with her enchanting scent that could charm any living creature.She befriended a white knight, sang to a wolf, met a prince, danced with a swan and played with a snake.As she reached eighteen, her father asked: “My dear daughter, who are you seeking?”“A strong knight who can defeat a dragon!”The King was concerned, “Tough and stern! Someone else, dear!”“How about a wild and bloody wolf?”“Atrocious! Violent! How scary!” uttered the King.“Or the charming prince on a white horse?”The King wavered, “A prince is good.”But the princess changed her mind, “The swan is elegant!”“They are free! They will fly away!” rejected the King“I have heard there was a clever snake in the wood.”The King shook his head, “They are poisonous! Dangerous!”The princess lamented, “Then who am I going to marry, father?”The King was silent. No one deserved his dear daughter.“You are too beautiful to be captured, my dear! Why don’t you enjoy the rest of your life running on the steppe and counting the stars?”People all laughed at the King for not finding his daughter a spouse.Year by year, when the bare hill was covered by green grass and the dry lake was filled, the white knight was missing an arm after the fight, the wolf was chased by huntsmen, the prince was on his way to an unknown land, the swan was flying further from the old lake and the snake was caught by a doctor.The Lotus stood beautifully while the creatures around her withered. She enjoyed the sunshine, listened to the winds and sang along with the birds....
