MOLLY'S POINT OF VIEW
I walked out of the kitchen immediately after Hina left,
I walked toward the garden with a wide smile on my face,
I stood in the middle of the garden, picturing myself and my prince charming sitting at the lake at the night with my head on his shoulders, and his head on mine, discussing our intoxicating love.
"Are crazy Molly? you are crushing on a spirit. "I said to myself before hitting my head lightly.
"I know he does not exist. "I muttered sadly as I watched the lake.
"Who is not exist?" I hear the same voice again and my heart started beating faster than usual.
I turn back immediately and my eyes wide open as I sight my prince charming smiling at me.
"You again!!" We both chorused.

Princess Emma's chamber
Hina's point of view.
"The end. "I say after reading the third bedtime story for her.
"Ha ha ha ha. "That was a super sad story!! how can they betray her after everything she does for them. "she said crying out loud.
"Is just a story dear, you should not cry for that. "I said cleaning up her fake tears and covering her up with a duvet.
"No, she can't die, those people must not go unpunished. "she said shading more tears.
"I hate those tears, Emma, clean them up. " I said in a pleading voice.
"Then tell me another story. "She said with a smirk
"What!!! "I yelled and she started crying louder than before.
"I know you don't love me anymore. "she said as a river of water rolled down on her face.
"Okay, fine, I will tell you another story, just stop crying. " I said
"Hurray!!! she exclaimed happily before pulling me into a quick hug which last for a second.
"But I won't tell you the name of one of the main characters, you have to figure it out yourself. "I smirk and she frowns her face lightly.
"How did you expect me to know, when am not a witch?" She asked rolling her eyes.
"Is about three identified trees in our environment,
if you are brave as you always said then you should know the answer. "I said with a big smirk.
"Since it is about the trees, trust me, I will definitely know the answer. "She said proudly.
" Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there was a woman who give birth to three sons.
She trains them to be kind to the people around them and always helps strangers -- ---- "I was interrupted by Emma.
" What are her children's names?" She asked
"The second son is a coconut tree and the last son is the palm tree. "I reply.
"What about the first son?" she asked
"Find out yourself. "I reply with a smirk.
"Ho. "She muttered and gestured for me to continue
"After many years of training her sons, she died without blessing them.
A few years later,
the three brothers got married and l live in the same village.
Their mother did not happy because she didn't bless them. So, she decided to visit them in disguise. One day --- --" I was still saying when I got interrupted by Emma again
" What did you mean by disguise?" She asked.
" Disguise is a different appearance in order to conceal one's identity. "I said and she nodded her head signalling me to continue
"She looked unkept, with long bushy hair, dirty cloth and a long fingers nail.
She went to the elder son and asked her for help.
"Please my son, am tasting, can I get a cup of water? "She asked weakly.
"Get out of here, you ugly mad woman. An ugly creator like you can never be my mother. "Said the first son.
"That is bad of him. " Emma said sadly and I continue my story.
"She went to the second son's door ( the coconut tree) and asked the same thing.
"Please my son, am tasting, can I get a cup of water?" She asked weakly.
The second son eyes her before getting her the water.
"Take old woman, leave my door and never show up your ugly face. "The second son said and hand over the water to her.
The woman feels sad instantly with the way her sons treat her, and cried bitterly
when she got to the younger son's door, she knocks on the door and he came out
"Please my son, am tasting, can I get a cup of water?" She asked the same thing, she expect her last son to do as his brother did, but to her greatest surprise,
he gestured for the woman to have a sit and give her a warm welcome, he gave her enough water and asked his wife to prepared a nice food for the woman,
he finds scissors and helped the woman to cut off the length of her hair, her long nails,
and he also set bath water for the woman and give her one of her wife's dress.
The old woman eats water mouth delicacies happily.
"Thank you, my son, I trained you all to be kind to the people around you and treat strangers well,
my elder son chases me away in anger and my second son who gave me water is mean,
You the first son, never give me water and you will not have that water,
you will not be that useful for humans and animals. "she said to the first son then faced the coconut tree and the palm tree.
"You the second son, you give me water and you will have it,
and you my last born, anything that comes out from you shall never waste,
you will never lack anything and you will always be human's and animal's favourite. "She said and disappeared into the air.
"That is why the palm tree is the best among the tree, there is nothing that is not good in it,
we make palm oil, palm cream, palm wine, broom and many more. "I conclude and Emma looked up immediately
"But we can also make a broom from the coconut tree. "She said.
"Yes, but the broom can't compare with the palm broom, all the brooms from coconut trees are not good at all. "I reply tiredly.
"What about the first tree?" she asked
"The first tree is not popular like the coconut and the palm tree,
the tree is always around the street, he had a big seed and people do eat it but they don't really like the seed. "I said trying to leave but she hold my hand and gives me a puppy face.
"Can you please tell me the first tree's name?" She asked with a cute puppy face.
"No princess, find out yourself,
good night. "I said and place a kiss on her cheek before leaving her chamber.
"Mummy! "she called sadly
"I love you more, daughter. " I said and close her door.
I close the door and bump into someone,
I looked up only to see the king looking at me somehow.
"Stop stalking me, Mr king. "I said dramatically.
"I'm not a stalker, princess Hina. "He said and I froze instantly.
"Did he just call me that?
how did he get to know?" I asked myself as my head glued to the floor.
