A long time ago in the outskirts of a magical country, a princess was entering the forest at the time between night and dawn. At the time a voice rang from the forest
“DO NOT ENTER THE FOREST NOW”
The princess halted her step towards the forest. A Tall man jumped from the small hill located in the forest into the country. The princess did not get shocked but said
“Welcome to the land of Magic, Traveller”
The Traveler looked at his surroundings, looked confused and disoriented and looked at the princess , who was as tall as him some distance from him.
The Traveller said abruptly : “You are short, I expected a taller person.”
Princess replied with a smile : “I am the tallest person in our kingdom.”
The Traveller : “I am the shortest person in our kingdom.” He added after a short pause “Thank you for welcoming me.”
Princess did not know what to tell the total stranger , who came from the forest. The forest of her country is strange , a lot of strange species and people have come from me. They have come to seek the help of the magical people of Xanders . However the person who looks like a traveller does not seem to know why he has come to this place.
Princess : “I am sure , you are tired from travelling a long distance. Please accept our hospitality .Please consider staying in our palace as our guest.”
The Traveller looked confused as he did not know what to say.
Princess gestured towards the two horses a distance from her .
The Traveller looked confused as he did not know what to do, but looked at the horse.
Princess :”Traveller , you are safe in our palace. You are welcome to this land and can stay in our palace as long as you want.”
The Traveller with understanding came to him : “Thank you for your hospitality.“ anf looked at her as if to ask how they would be travelling.
Princess gestured towards the two horses a distance from her saying : “We are travelling by horse.” Princess bowed in respect , reciprocated by the traveller.
Princess boarded the horse, but was shocked to see the traveller who had not mounted the horse, but carried the horse on his back and started to walk with difficulty. The traveller was shocked as he saw the Princess had mounted the horse and was riding it. The traveller kept the horse down, not sure why someone would mount it. The princess dismounted clearly ,understanding the stranger has not dealt with or seen a horse.
The Princess : “You have to mount the horse , to travel in it.”
The Traveller :” Won't the horse feel pain if we mount it.”
The Princess now understood the Traveller was a person or from a world which loved the animals
So The Princess and The Traveller along with 2 horses started walking towards the Palace.
