NARRATOR: Once upon a time there was a rich king who had three beautiful daughters, but the youngest was the prettiest, and the king loved her the most. The three of them were engaged and were happy. One day, the king was feeling weak, so he called his three daughters and their handsome princes.
FATHER: I wanted to talk to you because I feel sick and weak and I need that one of you takes my place.
OLDEST DAUGHTER: I will take your place, father.
FATHER: Don´t interrupt me.
SECOND DAUGHTER: Let him talk!.
FATHER: I have thought about dividing my kingdom into three equal parts, one for each one.
OLDEST DAUGHTER: That will be fair.
FATHER: I will live for a while with each of you, and will take with me a hundred men.
OLDEST DAUGHTER: A hundred men!.
FATHER: But that´s not all. I will divide my kingdom into three equal parts, according to your love and kindness.
NARRATOR: Then, there was silence in the room. The king asked the oldest daughter.
FATHER: How much do you love me?.
OLDEST DAUGHTER: More than my own life. Come and live with me, I will take care of you.
SECOND DAUGHTER: I love you more than anybody could love you in the whole wide world.
YOUNGEST DAUGHTER: I love you as a daughter should love a father, and I need you as the food needs salt.
NARRATOR: The king was very angry because he was dissapointed of the youngest daughter, and said.
FATHER: That´s all?. Well, I will divide my kingdom between your two sisters and you will receive nothing.
NARRATOR: At that moment, the youngest daughter´s prince left the room and didn´t come back. He thought that he didn´t want to have a poor girlfriend. Then she said to her sisters.
YOUNGEST DAUGHTER: (crying) I don´t know how to express myself as you do, but I love our father as much as you do. And I know that you must be very happy right now because you wanted so much this kingdom that now it will be yours.
NARRATOR: The two sisters were laughing at her.
OLDEST DAUGHTER: Ha, ha, ha.
SECOND DAUGHTER: Ha, ha, ha.
FATHER: I don`t want to see you anymore!.
YOUNGEST DAUGHTER: But father!.
FATHER: Get out of my castle, and never come back!.
