Once upon a time, there lived a young, beautiful, bright and creative maiden who had two older sisters. She lived in a small rural village. Ever since she was a very young girl, she was the talk of the village. Her beauty and clear, soft eyes were both deeply admired, as well as the envy of many a woman and girl, especially her two older sisters, who were quite beautiful themselves, but lacked the integrity, clarity and grace of their youngest sibling. When she came of age, naturally many a young man wished to court her and she was very flattered as well as touched by the way each one strove to win her attentions.
