The story is about a princess. Once upon a time, there was a King who had four sons in a kingdom. Soon, they had got a daughter. The Queen adored her daughter so much. But the King and his four sons didn't like their daughter and sister. In the end, the Queen decided to let her daughter go to another place. She packed all her daughter's clothes and gave her a white horse and a gold stick. And she said, "My daughter, where this horse stops will be your house. That house will be the place where you need to live in no matter how good or how bad it is. Now, we gave you some properties. So, go now." The horse started running when the princess rode on it. It didn't stop going even though they couldn't see any houses in front of them. They already reached the back part of the village. At a distant place, she saw a hut. There, the horse stopped in front of that hut. There lived an old lady and her son. When the old lady saw a beautiful girl coming into her house, she said, "Oh, a beautiful princess. We don't have any place to let you sleep." The princess said, "It's okay. I can sleep anywhere. I will live at your house start from today." Then, the princess gave that gold stick to the lady's son. He suddenly grabbed it and accidentally broke it. She was worried and upset. She said, "This is what my mom gave to me. What should I do now?" The boy said, "Don't worry! There are lots of things like that at the place where me and my mom usually go fishing." She said, "Let's go there tomorrow!" When they went there the next day, they saw lots of gold sticks in the water. They took all of the gold sticks out of the water. They carried them with their horse, the gunny bags and baskets. And they kept them inside their hut. After that, they sold those gold sticks and became rich. The King heard the news and came there to check the situation. Then, he saw that his daughter whom he disliked became very rich. He was so surprised. Very soon, the Queen came to her rich daughter. After staying for a few days, she went back with some money which her daughter gave. When she arrived at the palace, she gave some money to her husband, the King. She said, "This is for you. Your daughter gave you." But the King said, "No, I won't take it. Maybe you gave me your share!" Years after years, the King and the Queen didn't have money and became poor. On the other hand, their daughter became richer and richer. Then, they had to ask their daughter to give them some money. They asked for money from their daughter so many times. This time too, they decided to ask for some money and went to their daughter. When they arrived there, their daughter was waiting for them by preparing a good chair for the mother and just a cowpat for the father. The father regretted his action towards his daughter. Then, they two went to their place. Actually, GOD gave many blessings to the daughter who was not loved by her father. Her father and mother decided to call their daughter back. So, they went there again. Then, the princess's mother-in-law said, "Oh, great King and Queen. We are afraid we don't have any good quality thing to serve you." They said, "No problem. It's alright." And they brought their daughter and son-in-law to their palace. There, the princess and her husband lived happily together. The boy lived in the palace and was going to become a King soon. So, he had to tour the land. Then, he reached near his old hut. His old mother heard the news and wanted to see him so much. She asked other people, "When will my son be here? I want to see him." They replied, "Your son will be here tomorrow. You will see him." His mother was waiting for him the whole day. But he wasn't there. The officials said to him, "Your majesty, your mom wants to see you." The new King said, "No, I don't have a mother! I am an orphan. Drive her away!" When he said like that, his mother was crying so hard. At that time, another orphan boy came to her and said, "I don't have a mother. Be my mom, please." The officials discussed, "Let's drive the new King away! He couldn't accept his mother too. Let the wild animals eat him!" They drove the new King away and called the old lady to stay in the palace. She adopted another orphan boy and lived in the palace happily. After some days, she said, "I think we should call my son back. Let's bring him here again." So, the officials called him back. She had to see her son every day then. The princess saw that her mother-in-law was not in a good mood and looked upset. So, she said to the servants, "My mom-in-law doesn't eat well even though we treat her to a delicious meal. Ask her if something bad happened to her." The mother-in-law answered, "It's because of my real son. He drove me away and didn't accept me as his mom. But now, I have to see him every day. So, I am upset and I don't want to see him." After hearing that, the princess drove the boy away again. Then, they gave the throne to the adopted son and lived happily forever.
