The Queen's Worry
One day, Queen Sophia asked her magic mirror, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" But to her surprise, the mirror replied, "I'm sorry, your Majesty, but there is someone fairer than you." The queen was shocked and worried because she had always been the fairest in the kingdom. She asked the mirror to show her who this person was, and the mirror revealed a beautiful young girl named Lily, who lived in a small village far away.
The Queen's Envy
The queen became envious of Lily's beauty and ordered her guards to bring her to the palace. When Lily arrived, the queen asked her to stay and live with her, but secretly, she planned to harm her. One day, she asked her magic mirror, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful in the kingdom?" and the mirror replied, "You, your Majesty, are the most beautiful in the land." The queen was pleased with the answer, and she thought that she had gotten rid of her worries.
The Magic Mirror's Warning
But the magic mirror knew the queen's true intentions, and it warned Lily to be careful. One day, the queen asked the magic mirror, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most powerful in the kingdom?" and the mirror replied, "The person who possesses the magic mirror is the most powerful in the land." The queen was pleased with the answer and continued to use the mirror to her advantage.
The Queen's Punishment
One day, Lily accidentally discovered the queen's plan to harm her, and she fled from the palace. The queen was furious and asked the mirror to find Lily and bring her back to the palace. But to the queen's surprise, the mirror replied, "I'm sorry, your Majesty, but I cannot do as you ask. Lily is now under my protection, and I will not let any harm come to her."
The queen realized her mistake and begged the mirror for forgiveness. She promised to be kind and fair to all her subjects, including Lily. The magic mirror forgave the queen and returned to its original form, a simple mirror.
The Queen's Transformation
From that day on, Queen Sophia became a kind and just ruler. She also learned to appreciate the true meaning of beauty and realized that it comes from within. She made amends with Lily and even made her the princess of the kingdom. The magic mirror was kept safely in the palace and was only used for the greater good of the kingdom.
The End
And so, the kingdom prospered under the rule of a kind and just queen, and the magic mirror remained a symbol of the importance of kindness and inner beauty.
