“The Three Daughters”

Once upon a time, in one kingdom,
in a grammatical state, the king of
ruled had three daughters; the
youngest, the middle, and the oldest.
Although they were sisters and
looked very much alike, they were
very different in character.
The younger was kind and obedient
to her father that always agreed with
him. Sometimes the king says: “You
are small, my daughter! She agrees
with him: “Yes, I’ am small, my dad!
-Yes, you are good, my daughter!
- Yes, I ‘am good, my dad!
The second daughter liked to argue
with her father.
The king told her: “You are nice, my
daughter!”
And she answered him: “No, I’ am
nicer than my sister, my dear dad!
-You are kind like your sister, my
daughter!
- No, I’ am kinder that my sister, my
dear dad!
Where is the king to argue with his
own daughter?
And the third daughter was so
arrogant that the king had no slander
with her. She exalted herself in
everything.
“You are so clever, my daughter!”
 “No, I’ am the cleverest in the world,
my dear dad!
“Youngest teacher.”
