Beauty and the Beast

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far far away, there lived a beautiful princess with a kind heart. One day in court the princess was approached by three fairies with downtrodden looks on their faces. The fairies explained that their beloved enchanted forest was sick and they needed her help: “The tree at the heart of the forest requires a gemstone set in gold and forged with love to be placed in its hollow. Without it, the tree cannot produce pixie dust, which is the source of our magic. We were unsure of how to find such an object, but knowledge of your kindness and wisdom has spread throughout the kingdom.” said one of the fairies.
