Once upon a time in a kingdom far, far away, there lived a young girl, whose hair was made of gold. The people in the village saw her, and said, “Oh how beautiful she is".
And they showed her a beautiful house on the planet Mars. And they said “Come and live here forever” And the young girl said “Oh, Mars is a planet where life is different, say, clean and pretty.” But, how do you get there? Where do you find the taxi? Which bus do you take? And how do you know you’re there when you’re there?
And she went to live in the beautiful house. And all the people loved her and she was very, very happy. But the people in the village were very poor, and every night, they crept into the house where the girl slept, and they cut off a piece of her golden hair, and they sold it for money. “She’ll never even notice,” they said. And soon, all the gold was gone from her head.
And the people said, “Oh, she’s not beautiful at all.” And they took her from the beautiful house, and they drove her into the street, and she went away, and she never came back. And soon people became hungry again, and they went back into the beautiful house, looking for gold, but there was no one there...
