The ugly duckling...
Once upon a time there was a sad prince. His father was cruel to everyone, but especially him. The father said he was ugly and made him a heavy iron mask over his head. All fled from him because they thought he was a monster.
One day a sheepherder saw him.
“Hold on, and I’ll help you.”
“Don’t. I’m far to hideous to look upon.” Warned the prince.
The sheepherder snapped it off with his bare hands.
“The villagers fear me because of my strength.”
“I don’t.”
“May I ask a kiss in repayment?”
“A kiss is just the beginning.”
