The Quiet Queen

In country very far from here, there was a white castle on top of a mountain.  The king and his beautiful wife lived in the castle. One day, a naughty little boy jumped into the garden of the castle and he met the queen. She looked very sad. “What’s wrong?” the boy asked. “I’m not ready to be a queen. No one likes me,” the queen said. “I’m too quiet.” “It’s ok to be quiet,” the boy said, “I’m sure you have other good qualities.” The queen thought and said, “ Yes, I ’ m smart, honest, and helpful. You ’ re right, it is ok to be a quiet queen. Thank you! ” “ You ’ re welcome. I ’ m sure people will like you if you do helpful things for them, ” the boy said. After that, the queen was more confident. She helped many people in her country, and everyone loved the Quiet Queen.
