There was an eye-catching princess with eyes as dark as the void and hair going down her neck like a slithering snake.
She took it for granted that everybody wanted to marry her. But that made her greedy, picky and selfish. There was one prince that wouldn't give up. He came to her home and offered pearls. She rolled her eyes as she explained she already has pearls.
She wanted him to get the Singing Ringing Tree. The prince had heard about the Singing Ringing Tree. He knew it was nearly impossible to find. He didn't give up so he saddled his trusty steed and rode like the wind.
Worried,
shocked, annoyed,
he got on the back of his noble horse and set off on his journey to find the
Singing Ringing Tree.

He rode for three days and three nights and eventually he reached the Singing Ringing Tree.
He was really
hungry but the amazing, breathtaking view from the Singing Ringing Tree took
the hunger away, like a gust of wind taking leaves off a tree. But, he heard a rustle in the bushes
and out jumped a goblin! The goblin had long, wiry hair and teeth like daggers
and started doing a funny little dance around the prince's legs. The prince
knew this was going to be a long day.

There was once a princess with long dark hair. Whoever she met immediately fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. She also had smooth, dark skin.
One lovely day, a bearded prince was riding his horse along when he saw the beautiful princess standing. He halted and immediately asked to marry her but she simply turned the proposal down. As well as marriage he offered pearls, but still she refused and she said “I want The singing ringing Tree”.
The next day, the bearded prince set off on a rocky trail to retrieve The Singing Ringing Tree and he said “this is easier than I thought it would Be” and kept on riding his matt black horse until finally he saw the singing ringing Tree. He said “Finally” with a sigh and he dismounted his horse and ran towards the tree when suddenly with a nasty snarl a little goblin poked his head out of a bush because he thought he heard something.

Not all of the princes gave up though, one kind prince took his chances and asked her again. He was so kind he even asked if he could offer some pearls but the egocentic princess did not accept the generous and super rare offer but demanded him to get the Singing Ringing Tree. She even yelled GET ME THE SINGING RINGING TREE! NOW!
The prince glanced around looking for help. Unfortunately, there was no help so he sighed and set off on his horse and rode off into the distance when he noticed he was looking back at the princess so he tapped his horse to make it go faster.
Worried, frightened, scared he thought about marrying the princess and her beautiful outside and her selfish inside. Then he took his mind off the pretty yet spoiled princess and focused more on getting the Singing Ringing Tree.
