00:00Rosanella and the Fickle Prince

00:07Long, long ago, in the land of fairies, a very important decision was underway.

00:18I am touched at your love, but rules are rules and I really must retire soon.

00:25But then, who of us is capable of taking your place?

00:29If you must leave, then we must have a test.

00:33An extraordinary test for anyone who would take your place.

00:40Grandma, what do you say?

00:44She is right. The most extraordinary test for a fairy is one that is accomplished without magic.

00:51What is magic?

00:57I take this wand and it will light up the moment it touches the fairy who is capable enough for taking the test.

01:05Ooh!

01:08Ah!

01:10Ooh!

01:16Whoa!

01:18What?

01:20But Grandmother, she is the youngest among us all.

01:24The wand has spoken and now for the test.

01:28What is the most difficult thing to change, my dear?

01:31Um, Great Grandmother, the most difficult thing to change is a person's nature, the way they are.

01:39Spoken like a queen, candidate at least.

01:45So here's your task.

01:48This prince will grow up to be brave, courageous, righteous, but with one big problem.

01:55And that princess will help solve that problem.

02:00You can use your magic wand, but only to help you along the way, not to change either the prince or the princess.

02:10We give you 20 years for this task.

02:16Time went by, and Paradamia would often visit both the prince and the princess.

02:24She soon began to see the problem Prince Meroflor had.

02:28I do not want to tame that horse anymore. It is taking too long.

02:32But Your Highness, you had us bring the horse all the way from Arabia.

02:37You know what would be fun? An elephant. A great Indian elephant. Dismissed.

02:46Your Highness, your elephant.

02:48There is nothing grander than a chariot. A grand, gorgeous chariot full of gold and red velvet.

02:59Very good, Your Highness. Just a little more practice and you will become invincible.

03:05I am tired of archery. I want to work with swords now.

03:10Very good, Your Highness. Just a little more practice and you will become invincible.

03:16I am tired of archery. I want to work with swords now.

03:30Just a little more practice and you will be perfect.

03:34I am bored of swords. I am going for wrestling now.

03:40On the other hand, in the other kingdom was Princess Rosanella.

03:47Come here, my darling. You look beautiful.

03:51How is the dancing going on?

03:54I am practicing hard. Still got to improve a lot.

03:58Hardly, Your Highness. I have never seen a student as dedicated and as focused as Princess Rosanella.

04:06Once she sets her heart on doing anything, she does not stop till she perfects it.

04:11That's my girl. No wonder she is already the best in the kingdom in economics, archery and writing.

04:19The fairy Paradamia could very well see the difference in Prince Meroflor and Princess Rosanella.

04:26So, it is the prince whose nature I must change. How?

04:31A fickle mind needs a purpose. I know what needs to be done.

04:36The years flew by, and when the prince and the princess had grown up,

04:41Paradamia first went to the parents of Prince Meroflor,

04:45asking them to send a marriage proposal for Rosanella,

04:49and then took that proposal to King Berendon and Queen Balancy.

04:57Welcome, my lady.

05:00I have come to you with an important proposal.

05:03The marriage of your daughter Rosanella to Prince Meroflor.

05:08My lady, we hear that Prince Meroflor is extremely fickle-minded.

05:15How can such a man be a good husband to anyone, let alone our wonderful daughter?

05:22I understand, but there is a lot of good in Prince Meroflor,

05:26and if only we can cure him of his fickle-mindedness,

05:30he will prove to be both a wonderful husband and a great king.

05:34All I ask is for you to let Prince Meroflor meet Princess Rosanella a few times.

05:40After that, you decide.

05:43Very well.

05:45So, Prince Meroflor was invited to Rosanella's kingdom.

05:49They took an instant liking to each other,

05:52but Prince Meroflor's fickle ways were making life a bit difficult.

06:03Well, whoever can cut the other's arrow before it reaches the tree will be the winner.

06:08Well, whoever can cut the other's arrow before it reaches the tree will be the winner.

06:15The red-feathered ones are for the princess, and the blue-feathered ones for the prince.

06:39Just a little lack of practice, Your Highness.

06:50Just a little lack of practice, Your Highness.

06:59Just a little lack of practice, Your Highness.

07:03The prince did not mind losing to Princess Rosanella,

07:07Princess Rosinella, he had begun admiring her.

07:10He was falling in love with her.

07:13So he proposed.

07:18Marry me, please.

07:20I cannot even begin to say how deeply I love you, admire you, and respect you.

07:26I am honored, Prince, but I cannot marry you.

07:30Why?

07:31Just because I lost to you, I'm not good enough?

07:34It's not about losing.

07:35It is about being committed.

07:38Your preferences change like changing hours of the day.

07:41Prince Malefour, tell me, how can one trust a person who cannot remain focused or committed?

07:48How can such a fickle person be a king, a husband, or even a man one can rely on?

07:55Love conquers all.

07:57And how do we know whether this is love or just another fad?

08:03I am sorry.

08:06The prince was shattered.

08:08Nobody had spoken the truth so openly to him before.

08:11And he knew the princess was right.

08:14That night, he saw a strange shadow move toward the princess's chambers.

08:19He followed it.

08:21But by the time he reached the room, he heard...

08:26What happened?

08:27A big shadow came to the princess's chambers, engulfed her, and took her away.

08:35What?

08:36Who would dare do such a thing?

08:39All night, the king, queen, and the prince discussed with their commanders, sent out

08:45emissaries to get information about the princess.

08:48Finally, as it was nearing dawn...

08:54Do not worry about the princess.

08:57Your Highness, she is safe with me.

09:01You took her?

09:02Why?

09:03To give the prince a chance.

09:06A chance?

09:08If you truly are in love with the princess, there is only one way to win her heart.

09:15Tell me, what must I do?

09:20Come.

09:24This is the fire of purpose and commitment.

09:29Mind you, it is feeble, but if you can keep it burning continuously for three years, you

09:36will win the princess's heart.

09:40But if the fire is extinguished, even for a moment, the princess will come back to her

09:46kingdom safely, but you will have to forget about her.

09:54So will you do this?

09:57For a chance to win her heart, I will do this.

10:02So the prince sat in the cave, stoking the fire, day in and day out.

10:15One day...

10:16Prince!

10:17Why don't we go on a ride?

10:21Look at this powerful steed waiting for you to ride.

10:30I...

10:31I can't.

10:32Come on, won't take too long.

10:35The fire will hold.

10:38No, no, no, no!

10:44Sorry, I can't.

10:47After a few more days...

10:48Oh, there is a party in the wood.

10:51The princesses of seven different kingdoms are here.

10:55Surely you can have some fun.

10:57Come, just for an hour.

11:02How can one trust a person who cannot remain focused or committed?

11:07I promised to look after the fire and I will.

11:10Thank you for the invitation.

11:15How can such a fickle person be a king, a husband, or even a man one can rely on?

11:23I shall never be fickle again.

11:26Hello, Prince.

11:29Why are you wasting your life here?

11:32Are you going to spend three years sitting here?

11:35Come on, get up and leave.

11:38The princess is safe and there is a whole world waiting for you.

11:42Get up and leave.

11:44Three years is nothing in a lifetime, it is but a small investment.

11:49Thank you, but this time I will not be fickle.

11:54So the prince stayed in the cave, doing everything to keep the fire going.

12:00And in his free time, he would carve.

12:03Finally, the three years ended.

12:07Prince Merylfur!

12:09Princess!

12:10I am touched.

12:12Prince, this is beautiful.

12:15I had plenty of time to perfect it, and this time I did.

12:21You did, Prince Merylfur.

12:23You are cured of your fickleness forever, thanks to the love and patience of Rosinella.

12:30And your wisdom.

12:39I guess I was right.

12:41It does conquer all.

12:43True love, that is, not a mere fad.

12:45And so it was.

12:47Prince Merylfur gave up his fickle ways and became a committed, focused man.

12:54And together, Prince Merylfur and Princess Rosinella lived happily ever after.
