By Frances Hodgson Burnett.

When you are young, everything is much simpler. It is this or that. Actually, it can be like this now too. It just requires courage to turn back

“If Nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though they may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that- warm things, kind things, sweet things- help and comfort and laughter- and sometimes gay, kind laughter is the best help of all”

To be a princess, it’s what you do. You treat everyone and everything right.

This is a beautiful little story. So beautiful.
