- 0:06Speaker 1: in a kingdom surrounded by rolling green hills and misty skies,
- 0:11Speaker 1: there lived a young girl known to everyone as Sweet
- 0:14Speaker 1: Princess Anne. And lived in an enormous, ancient castle. Its
- 0:19Speaker 1: hallways were so incredibly long that the echo of her
- 0:23Speaker 1: footsteps sounded like tiny, distant drums beating against the stone walls.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Because she was a princess, the royal court expected her
- 0:32Speaker 1: to spend her days sipping warm tea with porcelain dolls,
- 0:36Speaker 1: practicing graceful curtsies, and wearing heavy dresses filled with itchy
- 0:41Speaker 1: ruffles and tight glass slippers. But And was wonderfully different.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Even though she had a sweet smile and impeccable manners,
- 0:51Speaker 1: her heart did not flutter for grand ballroom dances. Her
- 0:55Speaker 1: heart beat to the rhythm of galloping hoofs. While other
- 0:59Speaker 1: princess is in the story books dreamed of handsome princes
- 1:03Speaker 1: climbing towers to rescue them, Sweet Princess And dreamed of
- 1:07Speaker 1: riding as fast as the wild wind. Her absolute favorite
- 1:11Speaker 1: place in the entire kingdom wasn't the sparkling throne room.
- 1:16Speaker 1: It was the royal stables, where a comforting smell of
- 1:19Speaker 1: fresh hay and damp earth made her feel completely free
- 1:22Speaker 1: and happy. One crisp morning, the King gifted her a
- 1:26Speaker 1: beautiful horse named Doublet. He wasn't a fairytale horse with
- 1:31Speaker 1: a pure white, glowing coat or a unicorn horn. Doublet
- 1:36Speaker 1: was a strong, chestnut brown horse who required a great
- 1:39Speaker 1: deal of care, patience, and hard work to train, and
- 1:44Speaker 1: didn't ask the royal servants to take care of him
- 1:47Speaker 1: for her. She rolled up her sleeves and learned how
- 1:50Speaker 1: to brush his thick coat, clean his heavy hoofs, and
- 1:54Speaker 1: feed him sweet carrots from the palm of her hand.
- 1:57Speaker 1: She quickly discovered that true man isn't made with wooden wands,
- 2:02Speaker 1: It is created through dedication and love. Together, Anne and
- 2:07Speaker 1: Doublet became an unstoppable, inseparable team. She learned how to
- 2:13Speaker 1: jump over high wooden fences, falling into the messy mud
- 2:17Speaker 1: more times than she could count. Princesses do not get dirty.
- 2:22Speaker 1: The ladies of the court would gasp, absolutely scandalized when
- 2:26Speaker 1: they saw her return to the castle with mud smeared
- 2:29Speaker 1: across her rosy cheeks. Crowns can be polished, but bravery
- 2:34Speaker 1: must be practiced. Sweet princess and would reply with a
- 2:37Speaker 1: bright smile, dusting off her riding pants and climbing right
- 2:41Speaker 1: back into the saddle. As the years passed, and became
- 2:46Speaker 1: such an incredibly skilled rider that she was invited to
- 2:49Speaker 1: participate in the Great Tournament of Rings, a massive competition
- 2:54Speaker 1: where the greatest athletes from every kingdom in the world
- 2:57Speaker 1: gathered to show their skills. It was the very first
- 3:01Speaker 1: time a princess had ever competed in the games, instead
- 3:04Speaker 1: of just watching safely from the Royal balcony. On the
- 3:08Speaker 1: day of the Grand Tournament, the wind blew fiercely and
- 3:12Speaker 1: the jumping obstacles looked taller and more intimidating than ever before,
- 3:18Speaker 1: and felt a flutter of nervous butterflies in her stomach,
- 3:21Speaker 1: but she gently padded Doublet's warm neck and took a deep,
- 3:25Speaker 1: steadying breath. She didn't care about winning a shiny gold
- 3:29Speaker 1: medal just to show off. She simply wanted to prove
- 3:33Speaker 1: to herself and to all the little girls watching in
- 3:36Speaker 1: the kingdom that with hard work, any goal is possible.
- 3:41Speaker 1: She competed with grace, fierce courage, and deep respect, earning
- 3:46Speaker 1: the loud cheers and admiration of the entire world. But
- 3:50Speaker 1: the true test of her royal character happened on a dark,
- 3:54Speaker 1: chilly winter evening Whilin was traveling through the quiet woods
- 3:59Speaker 1: in her royal care a large, dark wagon suddenly blocked
- 4:03Speaker 1: her path. A grumpy, tricky man stepped out of the shadows.
- 4:09Speaker 1: He wanted to scare her and take away her most
- 4:11Speaker 1: precious belongings. The man yelled, step out of the carriage
- 4:16Speaker 1: and give up, you frighten little princess. Almost anyone else
- 4:21Speaker 1: would have cried or waited frozen for the royal guards
- 4:24Speaker 1: to save them. But Sweet Princess and looked the grumpy
- 4:28Speaker 1: man right in the eyes, without a single tremble in
- 4:32Speaker 1: her voice, she stood tall and gave him her now
- 4:35Speaker 1: famous powerful reply not bloody likely, her bravery and absolute
- 4:42Speaker 1: confidence were so overwhelming that the man, completely shocked by
- 4:46Speaker 1: the strength of this young woman, stumbled backward and ran
- 4:50Speaker 1: away into the dark forest and returned home completely safe
- 4:55Speaker 1: and sound, proving once and for all that she was
- 4:58Speaker 1: her very own night in shin armor. From that day forward,
- 5:02Speaker 1: Sweet Princess and grew up to become not just a
- 5:05Speaker 1: brave woman, but the hardest working person in her entire Kingdom.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Instead of resting on soft velvet pillows in the castle,
- 5:15Speaker 1: she traveled every single day to the farthest villages. She
- 5:20Speaker 1: helped build hospitals, open new schools for children, and protected
- 5:25Speaker 1: rescued animals across the land. And so every night, when
- 5:29Speaker 1: the little girls of the Kingdom went to bed, they
- 5:32Speaker 1: no longer asked for stories about princesses trapped in high
- 5:36Speaker 1: towers waiting to be saved. They asked for the sweet,
- 5:40Speaker 1: inspiring tale of Brave Ann, the girl who traded her
- 5:44Speaker 1: glass slippers for sturdy riding boots, and who proved that
- 5:48Speaker 1: being a true princess means being strong, working incredibly hard,
- 5:53Speaker 1: and never ever letting anyone tell you that you cannot
- 5:56Speaker 1: achieve your dreams. The end
