A TRIVIAL INCIDENT

A Trivial Incident

Prince Sergey Ivanitch could've been very wealthy instead of barely getting by.

But he had to lie.

Pretend to say he loved the ugly princess.

But he was too honest.

So he blew it.

Now he's got the truth and no dinner.

He has his good name but he might lose his estate.

He told the truth and most took advantage of him.

The fool on the hill.

And why exactly did he reject the princess?

Was it solely on looks?

Did he think himself superior?

Now you have a  princess with lots of money and very little happiness.

And an honest prince who needs to work on his résumé.

True that!
