Once upon a time, there was an ugly princess.
Her father despised her and devised an evil plan to get rid of her. He would hold the Larfnok ball where all the princes
from all the lands would come and hopefully she would fall in love with one of them and move far, far away and she would only come on holidays. She was very nervous about the ball because she didn't have anything to wear. She started to cry when a fairy godmother appeared and granted her a wish to make her beautiful for her ball but only until 12:01 am. After that she would turn ugly again so she agreed to the deal.

The ball started. Princess was very beautiful in her beautiful clothes. One prince from far land fell in love with her immediately and offered her to marry him. Princess agreed happily but at that moment 12 struck and she became ugly again. Prince was very angry with her. He told: "Why did you deceive me? You in reality very ugly. Go away and do not show to my eyes!"
Princess was very unhappy. She started to cry and decided to leave the palace for ever. When she was walking through the forest, she met a simple man. This man invited her to his little house to eat something and get warm. They spoke with each other and they fell in love with each other. Soon they married and lived happily a long life.
