The sad princess

Fairy story 

Once upon a time there was a king and a queen. They lived in a lovely golden castle and had a beautiful daughter, Anastasia. But Anastasia was very unhappy. She never laughed or smiled. We will give money to the person who can make Anastasia happy; said the queen. A musician came and played the piano, a fairy said a magic spell and a joker came and told jokes, but Anastasia did not smile or laugh. A young farmer came to work at the queen's castle. He came with his little dog. The little dog liked to play. One day, Anastasia saw the dog and started to smile - then she laughed. The queen heard her daughter and saw the dog. The dog was happy to get money!
