Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess. She lived in a magnificent palace in France. Her father, the king, after the princess's mother passed away, wanted the princess to marry him. The princess was extremely horrified and sad. She thought it was against ethics and morality, and firmly refused.
In order to escape this dreadful forced marriage, the princess came up with an idea. She asked the people in the palace to find her a donkey skin. Then she put on the donkey skin, covering up her originally beautiful appearance and magnificent clothes. In this way, she secretly left the palace and began her journey of escape. She knew that the outside world was full of the unknown and danger, but she preferred to face them rather than submit to her father's inhumane request.
The princess walked into a thick forest. The trees in the forest were tall and dense, and the sunlight could only shine through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows. The princess walked carefully. She was afraid of being discovered and also worried about the wild animals in the forest. But she had a firm belief in her heart, that is, to find a place where she could truly be happy. She walked along the path all the time. When she was tired, she would find a place to rest, and when she was hungry, she would eat some wild fruits in the forest.
After walking for a long time, the princess found a small wooden house deep in the forest. Smoke was curling up from the chimney of the small wooden house. It looked very cozy. The princess was very surprised and also a little curious. She slowly approached the small wooden house and knocked gently on the door. There was no answer inside, so the princess pushed the door open and walked in. Although the small wooden house was not big, it was arranged very cozily, with simple furniture and daily necessities. The princess decided to stay here for the time being. She wanted to have a rest first and then consider what to do next.
A few days later, a prince, who was out hunting, passed by this small wooden house. He saw the princess in the donkey skin and was very curious. The little dog beside the prince ran around the princess, so the prince walked up to ask about the princess's situation. The princess was very afraid of her true identity being discovered, but the prince's eyes were very friendly and his speech was also very gentle. The prince was deeply interested in this mysterious girl in the donkey skin. He often came to the small wooden house to visit the princess and brought her some food and daily necessities.
As time went by, the feelings between the princess and the prince grew deeper and deeper. The princess thought that the prince was a man she could entrust her life to. Finally, one day, the princess took off the donkey skin in front of the prince. Her beautiful appearance was shown again. The prince was stunned by her beauty. The prince told the princess that he loved her heart. Whether she was in the donkey skin or wearing magnificent clothes, he loved her all the same.
Later, the prince took the princess back to his castle, and they held a grand and happy wedding. The princess finally got rid of her former fears and troubles and lived happily with the prince. She bravely adhered to herself and pursued her own happiness, and finally got a wonderful ending. And her story also spread on the land of France, becoming an example of bravely pursuing happiness in people's mouths.
