The Finger Fairies
The Royal Wedding
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a kingdom. Our story begins with a grand wedding between Princess Spring and Prince Wesley. They exchanged vows, offered rings, and the celebration lasted all night.
The King's Promise
When it was time for the princess to leave, her father, the King, said:
Twenty-one years, and I'm still not ready to part with my little angel. But Prince Wesley, the day you asked for my daughter's hand, my worries about who would care for her when I'm gone came to an end.
Oh! Know that Spring is my life. In her entire life, I haven't allowed her to be bothered by even a tiny prick. Please take good care of her.
Oh, Father! King Teren, I promise, I will always make her happy.
A Life Full of Pleasure
A beautiful and sincere promise. But could it be fulfilled? The first few months passed in joy. Princess Spring and Prince Wesley got along wonderfully.
The Prince, as he had promised the princess's father, took great care of her and wouldn't even let her lift a feather. He fulfilled her every wish. Yes, everything and anything.
Your Highness, is everything alright? Oh, yes, of course. I'm going to the garden to admire the superb roses. Oh, no, if you do that, we'll be thrown into prison. We'll bring them to you. Oh, no, it's completely fine. Wait. Here they are! The roses!
The Princess's Boredom
And so, Princess Spring's life was sad and boring. Because she couldn't do anything, monotony enveloped her. She became pale and withdrawn. She slept almost all day. She would only wake for dinner and then go back to sleep.
Prince Wesley felt that something wasn't right.
Spring, what is it? Do you feel unwell? No, Wesley, I really don't know. I just feel a little... Are you hungry? Oh, my goodness, you're hungry! Chef! What would the princess like to eat? We have fish and chips, Sunday roast, shepherd's pie, exotic soup, chicken tikka masala, French sandwich. Stop! I'm not hungry! Ah! You're sleepy. You need a lullaby. Prima donna! Princess, fall asleep, for I will watch over your dreams. I'm bored! Spring? I feel terribly bored and useless?
The Search for a Cure
No! I made a promise to your father. I cannot let you be bored. Oh, what do I do? What do I do? Listen, my dear, I... An idea! Yes, that's what I'll do! Wait, Wesley, where are you going? Oh!
Prince Wesley brought in the funniest jesters.
Which bird behaves the worst? The mockingbird! Look what he says! Ah! A knight buys a superb stallion, paying a fortune for it. When his people saw it, they said: "Wow! What a magnificent horse!" The knight looks at them and says: "Remember, work hard, give your best, be brave and fight, and one day I'll buy another one!"
Everyone burst out laughing, but Princess Spring was not amused. The Prince tried countless things. He brought magicians, exotic dancers, jugglers, but nothing lifted the princess's spirits. When she stopped eating altogether, monks, doctors, and therapists were brought in, but no one could figure out the princess's problem.
The Forest Witch
Day after day, Wesley grew more restless and troubled. That afternoon, as he walked thoughtfully, a servant told him about the forest witch. Without wasting any more time, he set out to meet her. When he arrived, he was fascinated by her dwelling.
Greetings, Your Highness. How may I be of service? Great witch, my wife, Princess Spring, has lost all the sparkle in her eyes. She is always indisposed, as if hope has abandoned her. Hmm, her situation seems serious. Yes, very serious, but not one that cannot be remedied. Then, will you help her? Yes, but return tomorrow with her. By then, I will have the remedy.
The Power of the Fairies
The Prince agreed and left. And when he returned the next day, Spring, downcast, walked beside him.
Welcome, Your Highness. And you must be Princess Spring. Hmm, don't worry, my dear. I will immediately make the sadness disappear from your heart. She will come with me. Do you mind waiting here for a bit? It's alright, I think. Now I'd like to hear everything about what you feel. Well, I feel so bored and without energy. I've just slept quite a lot. I simply can't understand.
Spring told the witch everything that had happened in the palace. And the witch understood more than that.
Well, I have the perfect remedy for you. Here!
The witch opened a strange wooden box, and from inside, two enchanted hands appeared, sparkling and shining. Spring watched it all. On each finger was a wonderful ring.
Oh! Hey, good fairies, bless the mission of my hands. Give me power to shape the universe. Give me power to shape life. Make this world a better place. Wow! In each of these rings lived a fairy with amazing powers. The fairies have now entered your fingers. You must always move your hands to keep them busy, but remember, if a day passes where you don't use them, then the fairies will leave you, and you will be bored forever.
A New Life for the Princess
They returned to Wesley, who was waiting patiently.
I have treated her. But don't forget, you must support her in everything she wishes to do. But I promised her father, King Teren, that I would never allow Spring to do any work. This is for her own good. Do you like to see her sad and bored? Of course not, but the King... The King wouldn't like to see her like this either. Follow my advice and trust the little finger fairies. They will show you the right path. Alright.
So, from the next day, Spring began to get involved in various tasks.
Oh, mmm, it's so delicious!
No matter what she decided to do, everything looked or sounded wonderful, amazing everyone around her. Soon, Princess Spring helped the palace servants, laughing and content with her new activities.
You know? Yesterday the princess helped me dust, and without realizing it, the place shone as if by magic. Magic, indeed. She helped me bake a lot of sweets, and I've never tasted anything so refined.
The Magic Spreads
Soon, word spread through the palace that the princess had enchanted hands and that everything she did was flawless. Days passed, and now Spring was cheerful again, just like before.
Wesley, I'm so happy I can smile again. And I'm happy too, my dear. We should thank the witch for helping us. Oh, yes!
And so the witch was called.
Good day to you both. Princess, how do you feel now? I could glow with how much happiness I radiate. How can I ever repay you for your kindness? Well, how about Her Highness calls all the young people in the kingdom to shake hands with the princess? What would that mean? The magic will be transmitted to their hands, and they will become as diligent as the princess herself.
Wesley and Spring liked this idea, and immediately, a line of enthusiastic children formed, waiting to shake hands with the princess.
Hey good fairy, hey good fairy, bless the work of my hand. Hey good fairy, hey good fairy, bless the work of my hand. Give me strength to shape my world, give me strength to shape my life. Give me strength to shape my world, give me strength to shape my life. All that I wanna say, make this world a better place. Hey good fairy, hey good fairy, bless the work of my hand. Hey good fairy, hey good fairy, bless the work of my hand. Give me strength to shape my world, give me strength to shape my life. Give me strength to shape my world, give me strength to shape my life. All that I wanna say, make this world a better place.
A Flourishing Kingdom
Wesley decided to issue a proclamation announcing that the magic of the finger fairies had encompassed the princess's fingers. And so, Spring began to give magic to everyone. At first, everyone was amazed, and increasingly so, seeing the effect of the magic.
Never in my life have I felt so good. My business has been flourishing since I received the magic.
And immediately, as the magic from people's fingers permeated their hearts, they became more diligent than ever, and the entire kingdom prospered.
My love, it's amazing. We're flourishing! The kingdom has never been like this before. The streets shine, people are more engaged, and businesses have never been so prosperous. Well, the witch and the little finger fairies are the ones who changed everything. Of course! Oh, your father has arrived! Let's go greet him!
The King entered, utterly surprised.
Wesley, Spring, it's incredible how much your kingdom has developed! Really, how did you transform it like this?
Wesley and Spring described all the events that had taken place, astonishing the King.
My princess, I am so proud of how you've grown! Oh, Father! Come, you won't believe the things she's done. Let me show you!
Thanks and a Magical Offer
Thank you, magical finger fairies, for helping me change the world around me and myself for the better. Hey,
