once upon a time in a land filled with
sunshine and laughter there was a
village so pretty it looked like a
painting this Village was home to King
Chima a king loved by all because he was
as wise as he was kind his big heart
reached out to everyone making sure they
were happy and safe King Chima had a
large family with two wives his first
wife ulie gave him three daughters
princesses who were as beautiful as the
morning sun then there was Uchi his
second wife who gave him two Brave Sons
future kings of the land the princesses
were known for their playful Hearts
every day they would run barefooted out
of the palace laughing and shouting
playing games and having fun they would
go to the River Splash Water and get all
muddy their dresses got dirty and their
hair was a mess but they didn't care
they felt happy and free but not
everyone thought this was how princesses
should act they are too wild people
would whisper why don't they behave like
royalty they wondered this made their
mother oie very worried she would often
sit them down her voice soft but firm
you are princesses my dears it's time to
act like you it but the princesses would
just Giggle and run off their Spirits as
free as the wind they wanted to be like
everyone else to play to explore and to
love the land they would one day watch
over this made some in the village call
them foolish why can't they see they're
not like us they'd say but the
princesses didn't mind they believed
being true to oneself was more important
than wearing a crown so despite their
mother's worries and the villagers
Whispers the princesses continued to
dance with the world their hearts as
Wild and Free as the beautiful Village
they called home in this Village there's
usually a festival that happens every
year this wasn't just any Festival it
was for the princess the princess's
Brothers to find Brides on the day of
this Festival The Village Square was a
live with colors music and the sweet
smell of Festival Foods beautiful girls
from the village and even from places
far away came they wore their prettiest
dresses and danced beautifully hoping
one of the princes would pick them to be
a bride but in the palace The Three
Princesses watched from a window their
thoughts far away from the glitter and
the gold when men came asking for their
hands the princesses would find find
reasons to say no he's too proud one
would say he thinks his gold can buy
love another would sigh even when a very
very rich man from another Village came
with lots of gifts the princesses just
shook their heads they splashed water on
him when he said he wanted to marry all
three to make his seven wives that made
everyone in the village talk how foolish
they said
turning away all these rich and powerful
men their parents King Chima and queen
Uli were puzzled and a bit sad why won't
you marry they'd ask your brothers are
ready and you are the Elder but the
princesses would only smile and say when
we find true love we will know the
festival for their brothers was
beautiful maidens danced and laughed
hoping to catch the prince's eyes and
though the princesses admired the
courage of these girls their hearts
longed for something different they
didn't want a love that was found in a
day they wanted a love that understood
them that saw beyond their crowns as the
festival ended and the princess found
their Brides The Village talked even
more what will become of the three
foolish princesses they whispered but
the princesses weren't worried they
believed in their hearts that true love
wasn't something you could find in a
festival it was something that found you
in its own time and its own way as the
seasons changed and the moon danced its
way through the sky the princesses grew
into beautiful young women they watched
the leaves turn from green to Gold
thinking about love about what it meant
to them they saw their brothers happy
with their brides and something stirred
in their hearts maybe just maybe it was
time to open their hearts to love but it
had to be true love the kind that saw
them for who they really were one
evening under a sky filled with stars
the princesses went to their father King
Chima they had a request one that made
the king's eyebrows rise in surprise
father they said their voices echoing
with hope we want a festival of our own
a festival where men can show us their
talents and skills we want to find love
but it must be true love King Chima
looked looked into their eyes seeing the
earnestness shining back at him he knew
his daughters were different their
Spirits free and wild first he thought
this was not a part of the tradition of
the land but nevertheless he thought
maybe this was their way of finding love
so with a nod and a Heart full of hope
he agreed let there be a festival he
announced and the village stirred with
excitement once more words spread like
wildfire from the corners of the village
to lands far away sutus prepared to win
the hearts of The Three Princesses they
practiced their skills polished their
talents and dreamt of love the village
bused with
anticipation tailor solded fine clothes
chefs prepared feasts and musicians
tuned their instruments this was going
to be a festival like no other the
princesses watched as the village
transformed they saw the eagerness in
the eyes of the sutors the joy in the
hearts of the villagers they didn't know
what the festival would bring but they
felt a flutter of excitement in their
own Hearts maybe just maybe among the J
ERS The Poets and the Warriors they
would find the ones who could see beyond
the crowns the ones who could see them
as the day of the festival Drew near the
air filled with a sense of wonder the
princesses looked at each other their
smiles saying what words could not they
were ready to step into the unknown
ready to find love but only if it was
true The Village waited the sutors Reed
themselves and the Stars watched from
above it was the beginning of something
magical something that could change
their lives forever the day of the grand
festival arrived shining bright with the
sun's smile The Village Square was alive
buzzing like a beehive with excitement
men from the village and lands far away
came their hearts set on winning the
princesses they came dressed in their
finest muscles gleaming smile miles wide
and Gifts in hand some brought gold
others boasted of their lands and many
showed off their strength and beauty
each hoping to catch the eye of a
princess the princesses watched quietly
the eyes sparkling with Mischief they
saw the efforts of the sutors each
trying to outdo the other but deep in
their hearts they knew that gold and
strength were not what they sought they
wanted someone who could see beyond the
surface who could understand their
hearts so as the sun began to dip
casting Golden Light across the village
the princesses stood before the crowd we
have a challenge they announced their
voices clear and strong to win our
hearts you must do more than show your
wealth or strength you must guess our
real names a hush fell over the crowd
names but who knew the princess's names
they were known far and wide as the
three foolish princesses their real
names and mystery lost to all the
shooters were stunned guess their names
it was a task that seemed impossible
they had prepared to show their might
and wealth not to guess names murmur
spread through the crowd a mix of
confusion and curiosity how could they
find the names of the princesses but the
princesses stood firm their challenge
hanging in the air like a riddle it was
a test not of wealth or strength but of
wisdom and patience they wanted to see
who would look beyond the titles who
would take the time to truly know them
the village buzzed with questions how
will they find the names is it a quest a
puzzle the sutors looked at each other
their confidence shaken the princesses
watched a smile playing on on their lips
they had turned the tables challenging
the sutors to look beyond the surface to
seek a deeper connection as the festival
ended the sutors left with their minds
buzzing they had come to show off their
best only to be met with a challenge
they had not expected the princesses had
shown their cleverness making it clear
that they sought a love that was true a
love that saw beyond the crowns and the
titles the Village whispered of the
princess's test wondering who if anyone
could rise to the challenge it was a
story that would be told for days to
come A Tale of Three Princesses who
sought love in their own unique way the
challenge had been set and now it was up
to the suitors to find the answers the
Quest for the princess's names had begun
in the village where everyone was busy
guessing and Whispering about the
princess's challenge there lived a man
named okon okon was known to all but not
for reasons one might expect he was the
village drunkard often seen stumbling
and mumbling his days spent in a haze of
laughter and wine most considered him
foolish a man of no
consequence but beneath the surface
there was more to okon than met the eye
when okon heard about the princess's
challenge something stirred within him
he saw what others didn't a chance a
glimmer of hope why not me he thought
why can't I win the hearts of the
princesses so with a determination that
surprised even himself okon set out on a
quest a quest to discover the true names
of The Three Princesses day after day
okom followed the princesses not too
close just a shadow among the trees he
watched them laugh and play their
Spirits as free as the birds above but
no matter how closely he listened their
names remained a mystery they called
each other by nicknames there borned a
secret language of smiles and glances
then one day fate took a hand as the
princesses wandered near the forest edge
the youngest full of joy and Mischief
didn't see the hidden pit before her
with a gasp and a tumble she fell in her
laughter turning to cries of fright help
she cried her voice echoing through the
trees please someone okon hidden behind
a bush watched in shock this was his
chance not to win a challenge but to do
something good something right but
before he could move he heard the eldest
princess shout I'mma to the rescue and
then the middle one Leela's coming too
okon's eyes widen names the names of the
princesses spilled like precious gems he
watched as Amma and Laya worked together
finding a long stick to help their
sister hold on Tina they called their
voices filled with love and concern with
a heave and a hole the sisters pulled
Tina from the pit their arms wrapping
around her in a tight hug
okon hidden still felt a warmth in his
heart he had found their names but he
had also seen the love they shared a
love that went beyond any challenge
filled with a new resolve okon stepped
out from his hiding place his heart
beating like a drum he knew what he had
to do with a shout that carried across
the village he declared I know their
names Amma Leela Tina the The Village
turned in
astonishment okon the one they called a
fool had done what none could he had
discovered the secret that lay at the
heart of the challenge it was a moment
of Triumph not just for okon but for the
princesses too they had found someone
who saw beyond the games someone who had
taken the time to truly know them as the
news spread the village buzzed with
excitement okon once the village
drunkard was now the Talk of the Town
his strategy born of patience and
observation had revealed the true names
of the princesses it was a story that
would be told for
Generations a tale of unexpected heroism
and the power of looking Beyond
appearances as the village gathered eyes
wide and Whispers loud okon stood before
King Chima the princesses by his side
the air hair was thick with
anticipation okon once thought a mere
Village drunkard held the attention of
all I know the names of your daughters
he declared proudly Amma Leela Tina but
okon had one more surprise a secret that
would change everything I am not who you
think I am he began his voice steady and
strong I am Prince okon from a
neighboring Village I came here not as a
fool but in Disguise to learn the true
hearts of your daughters The Village
gasped eyes turning from okon to the
princesses then back again the man they
had mocked was a prince wise and cunning
who had seen past the game to the truth
beneath the princesses smiled at okon
their eyes shining with respect and
something deeper a connection forged in
understanding and kindness they had seen
many sutors
men of wealth and strength but none had
sought to know them as okon had he had
shown wisdom seen Beyond titles and
appearances to the heart of who they
were King Shima moved by okon's
Revelation and his daughter's happiness
agreed to the
marriages you have proven yourself wise
and true he said to okon worthy of my
daughters the weddings were like no
other celebrations that filled the
village with music laughter and joy Amma
Leela and Tina The Three Princesses once
thought foolish stood proudly beside
Prince okon their hearts United in love
and respect as the princesses set off
with Prince okon to begin their new
lives The Village was left in a state of
Wonder they had judged the princesses
and okon labeling them foolish without
truly seeing their hearts but love love
the princesses and okon showed was not
about titles or appearances but about
understanding respect and seeing the
true worth of a person the story of the
Three princesses and prince okon became
a legend a tale of wisdom equality and
the power of love it was a reminder to
all that true nobility comes not from
birth or wealth but from the wisdom of
the heart and the courage to see

on The Village casting a Golden Glow
over the land the people whispered of
the days wonders their hearts filled
with a new understanding the princesses
and prince okon now Bound by love and
wisdom journeyed forward their Futures
