Extras


The land of King Leon and Queen Soraya lay in a beautiful green valley surrounded by high mountains. The king and queen loved each other very much and they didn't hide it. When Soraya pursed her cherry red lips, Leon kissed them eagerly. The people in their country were happy too, because the king and queen made sure everyone had everything they needed.

One find day a warm wind blew through the valley. The birds sang more cheerfully than usual, and at nightfall the sound of trumpets blared from the palace. A little prince had been born!

The ladies-in-waiting were delighted. "He is so sweet and beautiful - we have no words," they whispered exactly. "Then say it with a kiss," Queen Soraya said, smiling.

The little prince was named Floris. Floris grew up to be a sweet, smart boy. Life was going well in the kingdom, but one day tragedy struck. The queen became very ill. None of the doctors in the land could cure her. She had to rest a lot and Floris often nestled against her, rolled up in a little ball. ONe day when he came into the room, his father jumped up from the chair next to the queen's bed. Big tears rolled down his cheeks. Floris looked at his mother, startled. The cherry red had disappeared from her lips. "She passed away," his father said softl. And he hugged Floris tightly - without a kiss.
