[ WP ] A king sits his princes down to tell them a cautionary tale about misusing their future power .

There once was a princes, the most beautiful of all who lived in a land of peace and bliss. The country was populated by farmers who worked really hard en helped each other. On the princes' eighteenth birthday all the people came together in the yard of the palace. The farmers who had a grain brought flour and those with chickens brought eggs. The farmers with bees brought honey while others had sugar instead. They spend all day baking a cake as big as the castle. The dough was light and sweet as lollipop. The inside was filled with the best of all fruits, apples and pears, strawberry and peach, some grapes and some cherries all fresh as the morning breeze. On the sides and the top there was cream in all colours, like a rainbow that sprouted right out of the sun. 
 
 It looked so delicious but nobody ate a thing, for they waited patiently for the princes to begin. Her father went in the castle where she had been the whole time. `` Why do n't you come outside'', her father said in the nicest of tones there is a present that you will no doubt enjoy. As soon as she saw the biggest of cakes her eyes became wide whilde she clapped in her hands and smiled with all her might. All the people shouted `` SURPRISE'' and started singing happy birthday to princes. The cake looked so good because everybody did the best they could and nobody ate even the littlest piece of it. 
 
 The princes said `` Thank you, kind people. It looks really good, you can all go now so I can eat''. The people looked at each other without understanding. They where hoping to get a piece of the cake. They used all their best products and what can a small princes do with a cake the size of a castle. But the princes insisted that cake is for the upper class and that she did n't want everybody touching it. So the people packed their forks and their knifes and went back to their farms. 
 
 As the princes started to eat she soon was full and went back inside after eating the smallest of pieces. The next day she did n't feel like eating day-old-cake so she ordered the cook to make her some stew. So the cake was laying there and it started to rot. Soon the bees came from the farms because of the sweet smell of a cake laying around and did n't want to go back to their hives. Not long after foxes showed up. They wanted the dough with all it's grains, so they called all their friends from far and wide. But once the dough was gone and they had nothing left to eat the went for the chickens on the farms nearby. About two months after the cake has started to rot there was a big wind that spread the stank over all the fields and the grains started to rot as well. 
 
 The next year on the princes her birthday the king wanted to make her a new cake and went around the entire country looking for the best ingredients. But there was no honey because all the bees had fled their hives. The chicken farmer did n't have eggs because all of his chickens had been eaten by the foxes and no flour because the grains had all gone bad from the stank. 
 
 That birthday the princes did n't have any cake.
