00:16Once upon a time in a village at the foot of a mountain lived a young girl named Nina.
00:21She was known throughout the land for her beautiful singing voice and kind heart.
00:25One day, while walking home from the market, Nina saw an old woman sitting by the road.
00:32The woman was so exhausted that she couldn't continue her journey.
00:35Without hesitation, Nina rushed over to help her.
00:38Don't worry, Granny, I'll help you get home, she said kindly.
00:42As they walked together, the old woman noticed a crown lying in the grass.
00:47Oh my goodness, she exclaimed.
00:50I believe this belongs to the Queen of the Kingdom of Kindness.
00:53Nina picked up the crown and looked at it curiously.
00:56The old woman explained that the Queen had lost her crown while out hunting and asked Nina to return it.
01:01Please take this basket of berries with you as a gift for the Queen, she added.
01:07When Nina arrived at the castle, she knocked on the door and shouted,
01:11Bring me some water!
01:13A small mouse appeared and said,
01:15Who's there?
01:16Nina responded,
01:17A friend of your mother.
01:18The mouse immediately opened the door and let her inside.
01:21As it turned out, the mouse was the Queen's daughter who was transformed into a mouse by an evil spell.
01:29Only someone with a pure heart could break the spell, but no one had been able to do so until now.
01:36The Queen was overjoyed when she saw the crown.
01:40Thank you for bringing it back, she said to Nina.
01:43As a reward, I will grant you three wishes.
01:47Nina thought for a moment.
01:48I don't want any gold or jewels, she said.
01:52Instead, I wish for everyone in this kingdom to be happy.
01:56The Queen was surprised by Nina's selfless wish, but granted it anyway.
02:01Suddenly, the entire kingdom was filled with joy and laughter.
02:06People danced in the streets and celebrated.
02:09The Queen asked Nina if she still wanted her other two wishes.
02:12But Nina replied,
02:13I wish for your daughter to be free from the spell and for everyone here to forget that I was ever here.
02:19The Queen was taken aback by Nina's wishes, but respected her decision and waved her magic wand.
02:24In an instant, the mouse was transformed back into a beautiful princess.
02:30The Queen embraced Nina, thanking her for her kindness and wishing her the best in her future endeavors.
02:35But as Nina turned to leave, she noticed something strange.
02:38No one in the kingdom seemed to recognize her.
02:41It was as if she had never been there at all.
02:44Confused and saddened, Nina returned to her village.
02:47She couldn't understand why the people there didn't remember her either.
02:51Just then, she spotted an old woman sitting by the roadside.
02:56It was the same woman she had helped earlier.
02:58Realizing that the old woman was actually the Queen Mother Nina's spirits lifted,
03:02she understood that her selfless actions had brought happiness to the kingdom and that was reward enough.
03:08From that day on, Nina continued to live a simple life in her village.
03:13However, whenever someone needed help, she was always there to lend a hand.
03:18The villagers, though they didn't remember her by name, appreciated her kindness and often praised her for her good deeds.
03:26Nina knew that true happiness came not from fame or fortune, but from helping others.
03:31And so she spent her days making people smile and bringing sunshine into their lives.
03:37One day, a traveling musician came to the village.
03:41He was handsome and charming and soon everyone was talking about him.
03:45Nina, however, was too busy helping an elderly woman carry her groceries home to notice him.
03:50When the musician saw Nina, he was immediately captivated by her beauty and grace.
03:54He stopped playing his instrument and approached him.
03:57Excuse me, he began, but I couldn't help but notice how lovely you are.
04:01Nina looked up, startled by his sudden appearance.
04:04She blushed and stammered.
04:06Oh, um, thank you.
04:09The musician introduced himself as Thomas and asked if you could buy Nina a drink.
04:12She politely declined, explaining that she had to help the old woman first.
04:17Thomas understood and waited patiently until she was finished.
04:20Once they were done, he asked Nina if she would accompany him on a walk by the river.
04:25She agreed, and the two began strolling along the bank.
04:29Thomas was enchanted by Nina.
04:31He had never met anyone as kind and compassionate as her.
04:34They talked for hours, and by the time the sun began to set, he had fallen head over heels in love, gathering his courage.
04:42Thomas asked Nina if she felt the same way about him.
04:46I'm afraid I can't, she replied gently.
04:49You're a wonderful person, Thomas, but I'm already in love with someone else.
04:54Thomas was heartbroken, but he respected Nina's decision.
04:58He knew that she was an extraordinary girl who deserved someone just as special.
05:03So with a heavier heart, he said goodbye and continued his journey.
05:07After Thomas left, Nina returned home.
05:10She couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing from her life.
05:13She missed the companionship and love she had felt with Thomas, but she knew that she couldn't be with him.
05:19That's when she realized that the person she was meant to be with was someone else.
05:24Not long after, a handsome young man named Lucas came to Nina's village.
05:30He was a brave knight who had traveled far and wide to find a wife.
05:34From the moment he saw Nina, he knew that she was the one for him.
05:38Lucas was drawn to Nina's kindness and compassion.
05:41He had never met a girl who was so giving and selfless.
05:45He began visiting her often, and they quickly fell in love.
05:49Lucas was a true gentleman, and he treated Nina with the respect and adoration she deserved.
05:54He listened to her stories, made her laugh, and was always there for her when she needed him.
06:00Nina felt that she had finally found the man of her dreams.
06:03On one of Lucas' visits, Nina told him about her dream of traveling the world.
06:09Lucas, being the supportive boyfriend that he was, encouraged her to follow her dreams.
06:14He promised to be by her side no matter where their adventures took them.
06:18Nina was so grateful for Lucas' love and support.
06:21She knew that she had found someone who accepted her for who she was and would stand by her through thick and thick.
06:27And so, hand in hand, Nina and Lucas set off on their journey.
06:33They traveled to far-off lands, explored exotic cities, and experienced countless adventures together.
06:40Throughout their travels, Nina's infectious laughter and kindness touched the hearts of everyone they met.
06:46Lucas, with his bravery and charm, won the respect and admiration of people all around the world.
06:53Together, they faced many challenges, but their love for each other only grew stronger with each passing day.
07:00They learned to appreciate the beauty of the world and the importance of cherishing every moment.
07:05As the years went by, Nina and Lucas' love story became a legend, inspiring countless bards and storytellers to sing and write about their everlasting bond.
07:16They eventually returned to Nina's village, where they lived out the remainder of their days, surrounded by friends and family.
07:22Their love story was a testament to the power of kindness, compassion, and the courage to follow one's dreams.
07:29The end.
