I've been looking for the Egmont 2005 version of the courtship account in original English...
At last, after decades (no, actually, a few years) of waiting, I finally got to listen to it!! I'M SO ACCURSEDLY ELATED!!!
And it's such a rarity of a heartwarming story...
Shan't I share it with you? All right...
The princess of this kingdom is so wonderfully clever, she's usually read all newspapers in the world before breakfast. Twice! Not that there's ever much news in them, mind. Mostly just gossip about her!
But being a clever princess can be a lonely job, and boring too. So, one day, she announces a contest to find herself a husband! Someone she can actually talk to! But good-looking too, obviously!
Young men of all backgrounds lined up from far and wide. But it was always the same! No one knew what to say or how to act! They were all too afraid of appearing foolish in front of her!
This princess's palace: there it is, down yonder.
Eventually, one handsome, bold young man comes along, saying he's long been curious to meet such a famously clever princess! But he couldn't possibly marry her, for they had barely been introduced.
And the princess laughed!
Now, that was a sound that hadn't been around the palace for a while.
So they got acquainted, they fell in love... and that, as they say, was that.
