A princess named Hera who lived in the town

of Goldsville, was obsessed with her jewellery. She would often say, “I Princess Hera, am the Queen of all the Queens, I’ve got riches, nobody can ever imagine!” She also had two beautiful dogs who loved her dearly. The dogs would cure her, whenever she fell ill. They would protect her from all the evil. But one day she found that her most precious necklace had vanished! She became angry and ordered her ministers to immediately find it. The ministers

spent nights and days looking for it but nobody could find it. Finally, one day, a great wizard told her that in order to get her necklace back; she would have to sacrifice two things! The princess instantaneously knew what she would sacrifice. She said, “Here are my two dogs, Athena and Hercules that I would like to sacrifice”! The wizard was surprised but he didn’t say anything. Next morning, she got her necklace back and she was happy. Gradually, she started feeling ill and there was nobody who could magically make her fit. She realized that, her dogs were her life, and sacrificing them for the necklace was the biggest mistake of her life. She learnt her lesson and spent her life feeding animals generously.
