Roma lived in a small hut just outside a castle. She had many brothers and sisters, and very few toys. She had to share all her toys with her siblings. Roma often thought of the princess who lived inside the castle. ‘The princess is so lucky. She lives in a huge castle and probably has many toys all to herself.’ Then she ran to play with her siblings. Likewise, the princess was looking towards Roma’s hut. She thought, ‘How much fun these children have! Although they live in a hut yet they are blessed to have one another. But I am all alone by myself. It’s so boring. I wish I had someone to share my toys with.’ Thus, unknown to each other, Roma and the princess secretly wished for each other’s luck. If they had learnt to be happy with what they had been given, they would never be unhappy.
