Before the princess appeared a traveling prince, riding upon a white horse. He had a regal bearing and a kind smile.

"Little one," he said, "who bears up alone in such deep sorrow, never lose that strength or nobility, even when you grow up. I give you this to remember this day. We will meet again. This ring will lead you to me one day." Perhaps the ring the prince gave her was an engagement ring.

Your eyes are like those people who can't help wanting to make memories last forever."
