Long ago, there was a king who has five daughters; Rosie, Lucy, Arial, Elsa and Tulip. Everyone except Tulip were greedy, haughty and rude. But Tulip was kind and pretty and this was the reason her sisters hated her but rest everyone loved…
One day, the king became a bit sick so he called his daughters and said, “I am soon going to leave this world. So before that I want to give my responsibility to Tulip as her behavior towards this kingdom is just like a king or queen should have.”
The rest four sisters were a little disturbed from his father’s decision, so they made a plan…
The next day the four sisters went to their father’s room where the king and Tulip were sitting. They said to their father, “Father before you give away your crown to Tulip we want to go for a journey to a forest.” The king agreed and all the sisters rode off on a horse.
When they reached the middle of the forest, they all decided to rest there. As they all slept, Tulip saw a butterfly and ran ack of it. When the rest four sister woke up, they couldn’t find Tulip. And Rosie spoke up, “We brought Tulip here so that we could kill her and say to our father that she was washed away by the running river but I think that God read our thoughts and saved Tulip. But I am sure she won’t be able to get back to the kingdom as we will take her horse with us. We will say to father the truth that when we slept Tulip went somewhere and when we woke up she was no where.” And saying this they all went back.
On the other hand, Tulip who was lost in the forest, sat down and started crying. After some time, she felt hungry so she started searching for food and got some fruits. She ate them and thought ‘These fruits are much tastier than the one’s in the palace.’ Now she had to find a shelter to sleep. She wandered through-out the forest until she saw something very unique…
She saw a tree that was so huge that one whole family could live peacefully there. So, she went near and then saw there was a gate. She opened the gate and went in. She saw there were two logs of wood placed in such a manner that it formed a sofa to sit. There were also slices of wood which made a bed and it was even covered with leaves and looked like a bed sheet.
She was amazed to see the beauty of nature. As she went in more, he heard a voice….
The voice said, “Welcome to my palace Tulip…”
Tulip was confused and the voice continued, “Tulip, I know you are a kind girl. So, I want you to be the queen of the jungle. I am the present queen and I am now dead so I am looking for someone who will be kind to animals, who can save the trees, who will look after everything in this forest. So, I want you to be the future queen… Do you agree? ”
Tulip hesitated and said “Yes, I don’t have a place to live, so maybe this will be the best one for me.”
And then suddenly the tree changed itself into a beautiful palace… The voice said, “Tulip, the forest has also chosen you as the queen… When the forest has its queen, this tree becomes a palace… All the rules of the forest are written in the book called ‘Green Rules’ kept on the table. No one can see this palace except you and the animals and the trees. Now you must go out. The forest members are waiting to see their new queen. Now I am leaving. Good bye and All the best…!”
And after that Tulip lived her rest of the life as the queen of the forest, caring and loving animals and trees…
