Once there was a princess named Pomella who never threw a tantrum, which by itself made her very different from all other princesses. But Pomella was even more special: every day from morn until eve she toiled away in an orchard near the palace – her very own apple kingdom. Every autumn at her command heaped baskets full of the ripe fruit were carried through the gates and shared far and wide throughout the lands of her father the king. But the king was not happy.
“Should a king’s daughter be working in an orchard?” he asked.
“But, Daddy,” she replied, “my dream is to grow a new kind of apple tree. One that isn’t afraid of the freezing cold or a summer without rain, or bugs like aphids and worms.”
