Zucchini and the Star Princess

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, a beautiful little girl lived with her mother and father. The little girl was kind, polite, and obedient. Her mom and dad and the whole village loved her very much.

One day, her father gave her his zucchini and asked her to go to the nearby river to fetch water, and she walked to the river with the zucchini firmly on her head and gently swinging her body as usual. Unexpectedly, the zucchini slipped out of her hand and drifted away with the rapid current while fetching water.

The little girl went after the zucchini along the river bank, singing a song: "Daddy's zucchini.

Daddy's zucchini, you left me, where did you go?

She tried her best, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch the zucchini. After losing her dad's zucchini, she was afraid to go home because she thought her dad would be angry. It was dark and mom and dad got worried because little girls don't usually come home too late. They didn't know what was going on and were very anxious, so they went out to look for her. For many days in a row, the villagers helped to look together, but the little girl could not be found, so everyone had to go home sadly.

The little girl chased the zucchini for many, many days, singing her song: "Daddy's zucchini, you left me, where did you go?

One day, she finally caught the zucchini and was very happy. She immediately put the zucchini on her head, placed it securely as usual, and set out on her way home. She walked for many, many days, hungry, thirsty, and weak.

When it was almost dark, she saw a fig tree with many sweet fruits on it.

The fruits said to the little girl: "Beautiful little girl, please come and taste us, we are very sweet. But the little girl shook her head and said: No need. Because she could not do what her mother and father had not allowed her to do.

The fig tree said. You look tired and weak, rest here for a while, and I will take care of you. Then many leaves fell from the tree and covered the little girl so thickly that she no longer felt cold and was not blown by the wind.

The next day, the little girl thanked the fig tree and set out on her way home. Now, she was more beautiful and stronger than before. As it was almost dark, she saw a sugar cane plantation with large branches overflowing with sweet sugar cane juice.

"Little girl," they said, come and taste how sweet our juice is. But she shook her head and said, No need. For she could not do what her mother and father had not allowed her to do.

The sugar cane said: Beautiful little girl, you look tired and weak, rest here for a while and we will take care of you"

The sugarcane branches gathered and made a round hut around the little girl, and she no longer felt cold and was not blown by the wind, and she now felt warm and safe.

The next day, the little girl thanked the sugar cane. She was more beautiful and stronger than the day before because her kindness, politeness, and obedience had been transformed into inner strength and beauty. She put the zucchini on her head and once again set out on her way home.

From a distance, she saw her home. When she reached the front door, her mom and dad saw her and joyfully went out to greet her. Dad had a big fat sheep slaughtered, and then the whole village, regardless of adults and children, was invited to come. The whole village was very happy to see the little girl, and we all shared a feast.

Everyone was happy to eat and drink, the little girl became more and more beautiful, more and more strong, and soon, she began to shine like a little star. When everyone saw it, they renamed her "Star Princess.

From that day on, she has been a star princess and has been living happily.
