An Intelligent Princess and her 9 Questions

Once upon a time there was a King and a Queen in Italy. They had a beautiful and intelligent daughter. Her name was Kiara.

Kiara was a knowledgeable, bright and clever girl. The king asked her to choose a prince from the other kingdoms for her marriage. Being an intelligent girl, Kiara said “Father, I wanted to marry a man who has equal knowledge like me or can be of more intelligence and wise. He doesn’t need to be a Prince”.

The worried king said “Kiara, How will I find such a man?”

Kiara replied “Father, don’t worry. I will make the selection process quick and easy. Any man can ask me 9 Questions. If I am unable to answer any one of the question, then I will marry him”.

The king knew that Kiara is the only smart and intelligent girl in the kingdom. He was troubled that when will she find the intelligent boy and when will she get married?

The King approached his good friend Francesco Accarigi, who was a great scholar and a teacher in the kingdom. The king filled him with his daughter’s request in selection process of her groom. Francesco said “Dear Friend, I knew an intelligent man who is equally educated and knowledgeable like Kiara. I will send him to the palace to ask her questions”.

The next day there was a long queue in front of the palace. There were many handsome princes from different countries and also good looking men who would like to marry Princess Kiara. Princess Kiara answered all the questions in minutes and defeated the men with her knowledge.

At last, a handsome young man who was dressed simple had his turn to ask questions to Kiara. His name was Galileo. He started asking her the questions one by one.

Galileo asked “How many stars are there in the sky?”

Kiara answered “There are 200 billion trillion stars in the universe just like sand in the shore”

Galileo asked “Name a person who can be given the highest paid job in the world?

Kiara replied “It’s a mother. Nobody could pay her for the work she does for her children and family”

Galileo asked the third question “What is the difference between truth and lies?”

Kiara answered “Lie can travel around the world halfway but the truth is putting on its shoes. The only difference is courage and cowardice”.

Galilieo shooted his fourth question “which man is considered handless even though if he has two hands?”

Kiara took less than a minute to reply “A rich man who doesn’t have a heart to share his money with poor people is considered a handless man”.

Galileo asked the fifth question “Who has eyes, but still blind?”

Kiara responded “A man who can see the suffering of others but does not have the feeling of compassion and empathy is considered as a blind person”.

Galilieo showed the princess, a picture of collapsed Colosseum and asked her “What do you understand from this picture?”

The princess said “The basement of Colosseum was weak and wasn’t strong that is why it collapsed”.

The princess has found out that Galileo is an intelligent man and his questions are unique. Princess Kiara started to like him for his knowledge on vast subjects. But she didn’t reveal it. She waited for him to ask the last three questions.

Galileo threw his seventh question to her “A woman was carrying a big bundle of wooden sticks on her head and another bundle of sticks on her left hand but she is still collecting more sticks. What do you think about this woman?”

Kiara answered “The woman is so greedy. She knew that she could carry a certain amount of weight. But she wanted to collect more to earn more”.

Galileo fired his eighth question “Princess Kiara, you are an intelligent woman. Now tell me which question is hard for you to answer?”

Kiara laughed at his question. She bowed down to him and said “You defeated me with your knowledge. I would like to marry you”.

Galileo and Kiara, both got married and lived a happy life.

Moral: Intelligence will never stop being beautiful. Knowledge is having the right answer. Intelligence is asking the right question.

The Pan and the Potatoes By Kirsi Kunnas

Phew! I’m sweating and steaming I feel like screaming I’m bubbling and seething I’m rattling like tea-things The pan said took his hat off his head and Phew! I’m absolutely boiling I’m bristling and whistling and hustling and moiling And all hot and sizzling It’s a mad mad bustle The pan said took its hat off its head and Phew! Ouch this hoppity, hoppity, hoppity Shouted the potatoes, popping up fit to split No way of stopping it, dropping it, swapping it dancing a polka, have to, dance, dancing a polka Got to go higher now, shoes are on fire now Galloping, galloping, off at a lollop Jumping and jumping and off at a wallop Turning and thumping, thumping and turning Oh this knocking and bumping and socking Off again copping it, hopping it, whopping it makes me split No way of stopping it!   This poem sings about how the potatoes are feeling when they are boiled in a pan. The potatoes say that they are very angry and wanted to scream becaus...
