Once upon a time, there lived a little Princess. She was not kind,she was not good. She was rude to her people and to her professor[prə'fes]. But she was a princess, and nobody could tell her how badshe was and give her everything she wanted. The little Princess was aclever girl and she liked her classes of History and Maths, of Geographyand English.

Her professor told her different stories about large continentsand foreign countries, about great explorers and new lands. ThePrincess was always curious and asked him many questions aboutmountains and seas that separated countries and about people ofdifferent nationalities who lived in those countries. She wanted toknow where the sun rises and where it sets. In fact, she was alwaysready to listen to all her professor’s stories. But she liked fairytales most of all.

One day her professor was telling her a fairy tale about a cruel witch. The witch used her magic power in a very cruel way. She used to turnpeople both into animals and birds. So, while the professor was saying,“...and then the witch enchanted the prince and changed him into alittle wild bird,” a small sparrow flew through the window and intothe Princess’s room.

“It’s the enchanted prince!” cried the Princess. “I’m going to catchhim.” It was not an easy thing to do, and she couldn’t get the bird. But at last the sparrow sat on the back of her chair. “Hello, littlebird,” said the Princess. “Are you really an enchanted prince? I’m soglad to meet you.”

The sparrow looked at the girl, he was small but brave, and thePrincess knew he wasn’t afraid of her. “I think you are an enchantedprince,” she said. “Prince Sparrow shall be your name!”

Then she turned to her professor, “You may continue with yourstory,” she said.

Prince Sparrow remained on the back of the chair. The Princessgave him bread for dinner and some milk. He spent the night withher in her room.

In the morning, when the Princess got up, shesaw the bird and liked him very much. The Prin-cess laughed and had a sweet laugh. “This birdis a prince!” she sang.

From that day on, Prince Sparrow ate with thePrincess, he slept on her shoulder while shedid her homework and went for her royal rideswith her. The Princess told him all her secrets['sɪ:krɪts]. Prince Sparrow became her first andbest and only friend.

The day before the Princess’s ninth birth-day Prince Sparrow flew around and around herroom. He looked sad. “What’s wrong?” cried thePrincess, but she thought she knew. “You don’twant to leave me, do you?”

Prince Sparrow flew to her and then to the window. “Please, stay,”asked the Princess, but she opened the window, and in a few minuteshe was gone.
