Once, there was a prince. He was very brave. One day, while going through the forest, he came face to face with a monster. The monster growled, “I am going to eat you up!” The prince said, “I will kill you with my weapons.” The prince fought very hard. The monster was surprised. He found that the prince was not afraid of him at all. He asked the prince, “Are you not afraid of me?” The prince replied, “In my belly is my diamond weapon. It will cut you if you swallow me. So if I die, so will you! That is why I am not afraid of you.” Hearing this, the monster set him free. In reality, the prince had no diamond in his belly. He had just made it up. His quick thinking had saved his life.
