Princess Paula and Prince Harry often spend time together.

Prince Harry: You’re very pretty. Please marry me when we’re older.

Princess Paula: Yes, of course. Then we can live happily ever after.

The princess always wears lots of jewellery. Today she’s wearing her gold crown, her pearl earrings and her new diamond ring.

Princess Paula: I love my ring. It’s the prettiest ring in the world.

Prince Harry: Come on, Paula. Let’s go swimming.

The prince and princess sometimes go to the swimming pool and they sometimes go to the lake.

Princess Paula: Let’s swim in the lake today. It’s nice and sunny.

Prince Harry: OK.

Princess Paula takes off her jewellery.

Prince Harry: I’m not taking off my crown. A real prince never takes off his crown.

Suddenly, the prince and princess see a giant eagle.

Eagle: Aha! A gold crown.

Prince Harry: Don’t be scared, Paula. I can protect you.

Princess Paula: I’m not scared!

The eagle takes the prince with his crown.

Prince Harry: Help!

Princess Paula: Don’t be scared, Harry. I can save you.

The princess puts on her jewellery.

Princess Paula: I’ve got an idea.

The princess is very brave. She goes into the forest and talks to the eagle.

Princess Paula: Please free Prince Harry. Have my gold crown.

Eagle: No. I prefer the prince’s crown.

Princess Paula is sad but she has another idea.

Princess Paula: Please free Prince Harry. Have my crown and my pearl earrings.

Eagle: No. I prefer the Prince’s crown.

Princess Paula is sad but she makes a decision.

Princess Paula: Please free Prince Harry. Have my crown, my pearl earrings and my diamond ring.

Eagle: OK.

But when the prince sees Paula, he’s very angry.

Prince Harry: Where’s your pretty jewellery?

Princess Paula: The eagle has got it. But you are free and we can be together.

Prince Harry: But you haven’t got a crown. You don’t look like a real princess.

Princess Paula: You don’t act like a real prince and I don’t want you any more!

So the prince and princess don’t get married and they don’t live happily ever after.
