“The princess asked for a diamond ring from her father, the king. He said, “People are dying of hunger and you want a ring?” Princess cried tears of sorrow. She went to the Prince, her husband, who gifted her the ring. She cried tears of happiness. To please her father, she auctioned the ring and fed the poor with the money she got. Her father, the king, cried the tears of happiness to see this. The prince felt bad that the princess didn’t keep his gift. He cried tears of sorrow. The unending chain of emotions!”
