Wisdom and Luck
Once upon a time, on a pleasant summer afternoon, the angel of wisdom named Wiz was sitting in a park, reading from the book of knowledge. Suddenly, the angel of luck named Lucky appeared before him.
— Hello, friend! What are you doing? — I was completing my knowledge and wisdom with more knowledge. — Wow! That sounds so boring! — Well, for some it's boring, for others it's delightful. In this enormous universe of time and space, beings are... — Alright, that's enough! We have a mission. The Boss wants us to handle it. — A mission? — Yes! Come on! I'll explain on the way.
Wiz nodded and Lucky snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the two disappeared.
— Wow! This place is wonderful! — Yes, it looks sublime. — It looks what? — Oh, well, I meant to say... — Never mind! Did you understand everything I told you on the way so far? — Yes, Princess Salena hasn't uttered a word in the last three years. And we have to make her speak. — Got it! Look, here she comes! Hide! — No need to hide. She can't see us. — Oh, I knew! I was just kidding!
The Mission
Princess Selena passed by them with her maids. Wiz was enchanted.
— Yes, she's beautiful! Now concentrate, because this is only part of the mission. — What? There's another part?
Lucky snapped his fingers again and the two disappeared once more. In a second, the two appeared next to a small house, where a young man was watering his flowers.
— His name is Happy, but he's not happy at all. — Right. — We have to make the princess talk with his help and then marry him. — That's the mission? — Yes! — Why? Why would the Boss want to do something like that? I don't understand. I mean, it doesn't make sense. — Destiny! — You mean fate? — No, I mean Destiny, the angel, the angel of destiny. — Oh! What did she do? — You see, one day, after writing Happy's fate, she decided to take a nap. She didn't know that her little hamster would go and eat the written page. And Happy's fate would be lost forever. — And what does that have to do with Selena? — Well, on the other side of the page, Selena's fate was written. — Oh! — Yes! That's why they both feel very unhappy. Destiny doesn't know what to do. And as you know, every being in the world has a page in the book. So... — So now that their pages are gone, the Boss got involved. He wants their lives to intertwine to seal their fates. — Bingo! — So, what's the plan? — This afternoon, when Happy goes to the market to sell his flowers, you'll enter his mind and lead him straight to the king's palace. If the guards try to stop him, you know what to do. — How dare you stop me from entering the palace? I have with me the blessed flowers from the Hana spring! These flowers will make the princess speak again! — And, after you've tricked the guards, you'll go straight to the king's court, where he'll be with his ministers. — Greetings, oh Majesty, to the great kingdom of Montana! I have come to make the princess speak again with the help of these red flowers. — Seriously? Can you do that? — Ha ha, yes, Your Majesty! — Don't give me false hopes, stranger! Since her mother died, my daughter hasn't spoken. It seems the emotional shock made her unable to speak. No hermit and no doctor in the world could make her speak. How will your flowers succeed where the greatest men and women in the kingdom have failed? — Give me a chance! I won't disappoint you, you know! — And if you don't succeed? — This is where the game begins! Ow! You have strong hands!
Meeting the Princess
Everything went according to Lucky and Wiz's plans and finally Happy was in the palace.
— Your Majesty, if I fail, you may punish me as you wish. But if I succeed, I would like to ask for the princess's hand in marriage. Of course, if she also wishes to take me as her husband.
The King thought for a moment, then nodded. The soldiers led Happy to the princess's room, where she was sitting by the window with her dog in her arms.
— Thank you, gentlemen! Wait, if you wish, outside. It won't take long.
The soldiers left the room. Princess Selena looked at Happy, but said nothing. But her dog barked. Happy went towards the princess and bowed.
— May I, Your Majesty?
The princess gave her dog to Happy.
— Oh, how adorable you are! I've come all the way from Farjah to meet you, magic dog!
Now the princess was puzzled.
— My name is Happy, and the great saint of Namjez told me that you would reveal my fate. Tell me, magic dog, tell me what will happen to me. Who will I marry? How many children will I have? Please tell me!
Selena's lips began to tremble and she burst out, annoyed.
— Stop it! He can't talk! He's just a dog! — Yes, but you can!
Then, the princess's eyes filled with tears, for she realized she had spoken after years.
— The princess has finally spoken! Hooray!
The King's Reaction
News that the princess had spoken immediately reached the king. He was delighted.
— My little girl has spoken! I want to see her immediately!
When the king arrived in the princess's room, he found her and Happy giggling, laughing, and talking.
— Seriously? And then?
This upset the king, for he remembered Happy's condition. But the king had no intention of letting someone of Happy's status marry his daughter. He immediately thought of a plan and left.
Later, when Happy returned to court to speak with the king, he was detained by the guards.
— What? What's happening? — I know you made my daughter speak, but I will not let you marry her under any circumstances! Under no circumstances! — But you promised me! Does the king's word mean nothing? — How dare you speak to the king like that! Soldiers, take this rude wretch and lock him up, please! — What? No, no!
Lucky's Intervention
Then, suddenly, Lucky appeared.
— Did you miss me? — Okay, now it's time for you to be in my place. Yes, please!
Lucky winked and the two swapped places. Wiz stepped out and said:
— Good luck! — Thanks, be careful!
The guards were puzzled.
— Who is he talking to? Oh!
Then, Princess Selena rushed in.
— Father, he's a... What? What's happening? Why did the guards take Happy? Father!
Then, the king's eyes filled with tears.
— I've been waiting for years for you to call me father again, my dear. Come here, my little girl, hug your father!
Princess Selena went to her father and hugged him.
— But father, why is Happy...?
The king explained Happy's condition to Selena.
— I know I gave him my word, but he's a simple man and... — But father, I like him! I don't know if we'll get married, but I'd like to get to know him better.
Then, Happy smiled.
— But how? — Release him, father, for people will know you didn't keep your word. They won't appreciate you.
The king nodded.
— You're right, but do you really like him? — Yes!
Selena turned to Happy and said:
— I like you, Happy! Do you want to get to know each other better?
Happy nodded and Selena smiled.
— Oh, soldiers, release him, please! And you, Mr. Happy, I don't know what you do, but know that I love my daughter very much. Work hard to give her a good life. Clear? — Yes, Your Majesty!
Conclusion
Therefore, Happy had a purpose in life, and Princess Selena a reason to live. When Happy returned home, he was so happy that he decided to take a nap. Then Lucky came out.
— Well, we have to make him believe he did everything himself. He must not find out about us. — You're right!
They pointed their fingers at Happy and some sparkling stars appeared, touching his forehead.
— We're done! Let's go tell the Boss! — Yes, let's go! — By the way, we did wonderfully! We proved that wisdom and luck make a good pair.
Wiz smiled, snapped his fingers, and the two disappeared.
— Hello, Boss! Mission accomplished!
The old man opened his eyes and said:
— Bravo! Bravo! You two did a good job! — Thank you, Boss! I think we should also inform Destiny. — Yes, yes, do that!
And then the old man closed his eyes. They arrived at the house of the angel Destiny.
— Oh, hello! What are you doing here?
The two explained everything to Destiny, who was happy to hear that the problem was solved.
— Oh, thank you so much! I was careless and look what happened! — Don't worry, Destiny! Everything's fine now! Where's that hamster of yours? — He's around here somewhere. — Oh, there he is! Come here, little one! He's so cute! I feel like...
Therefore, Happy and Selena's fate was sealed. We don't know if they got married and lived happily ever after, but we know that now the universe had a plan for them.
The moral of the story is that wisdom and luck, when working together, can solve even the most complicated problems and bring happiness where it seemed impossible.
