When the boy wen to the castle, there were many things that he never seen. He became so greedy. He ordered many things. And then, he dreamed nightmare. Many people hated the boy who would be a king. Because they have to work like a slave in order to make things for the king. He noticed he was a greedy man, and he didn't want to wear good clothes, crawn, and so on. He wear old clothes and put on crawn that was made of briar. He went to the cathedral. The servants followed him. And then, people looked at God. The boy looked like a God!!

However, the poor man and his poor woman was the king and queen in this city. He returned before face and became the king.

I like these stories. They are not so long. However, they have deep means, I think. We have to think about discrimination and kindness. If we can communicate with anyone with kindness, the world will be peace.
