They presented it for you to express their happiness, because you have growing to a woman. Please, wear this necklace,” said Prabu. Princess accepted the necklace. She looked at the necklace in a glance. “I don’t want to accepted it! It’s ugly!” shouted the princess. Then she threw the necklace. The beautiful necklace was broken. The gold and jewels were spread out on the Áoor Everybody couldn’t say anything. They never thought that their beloved princess would did that cruel thing. Nobody spoke. In their silence people heard the queen crying. Every woman felt sad and began crying too. Then everybody was crying. Then there was a miracle. Earth was crying.
