THE ADORABLE PRINCESS ROSE

Once upon a time, there was a princess called Rose. She lived in a very big, pink castle. She loved roses and she decorated her beautiful castle with them. On the windows, on the balconies, on the roof, in her bedroom, in other words, everywhere. She loved the smell, the different colors and the birds that surrounded them.

She had servants, with flowers in their uniforms. Everything in the castle had flowers and she loved the flowers with all her heart. However, she was not obsessed; she was a fair princess and she cared about her servants, and once in a while she also cared about her town. After all, she had once been a plebeian. When reflecting about this, one day, she asked her counselor: “Is this town fully decorated with flowers?”

He answered: “Well, I don’ t know for certain, since we have not gone down to the town in years”

She said: “Then, let’s go now!”

The words were clear, so immediately they started their trip to the city. Once there, Rose almost had a heart attack. She was impressed by how the city was without flowers. So she asked the first plebeian she saw:

“Oh my dear, why is my city flowerless?”

He said: “That’s because we don’t have money to buy flower pots, which by the way are very expensive.”

She answered: “ Oh. Now I understand, but still, I want to see this city happy and with flowers, so I am going to come tomorrow with a plan to make flower pots for you to have flowers”

Rose walked back to her castle and consulted their ideas with her pillow. She thought of something, but she wasn’t sure...

By the next morning she went back to town and in an open meeting, everybody
concluded that it would be a good idea to reuse all of the princess’ s used soda cans and transform them into pots.

Her servants and the people, all together, started the
job. Finally, they got 1 million different and decorated flower pots.

Then, Rose presented 1 million flower seeds. As soon as they got the seeds, they filled the soda can with soil and watered the soda can. This process was repeated many times in a period over a month.

Also, part of the plan was that if the cans are too old, they will be thrown into a trash bin and once a week, a princess´s server will pass all over town to pick the trash with the cans. Finally, he will take all of these cans to a recycling place in which they will make new ones from the old ones.

The process do not finishes there. It passes to a stage in which they are transformed to new by melting all the compacted cans and then, cooled in form of a shape of a can.

In the end, as time went by, the roses grew and the city became beautiful. The
princess and the people lived happily ever after.
