There once was a poor, ugly poet. He went from place to place and told people his poems. Nobody listened to him, though.
One day, the poet was in a new city. As usual, nobody listened to him, but they told him to go to the palace. The little princess was blind and enjoyed listening to poems.
So, the poet went there. The soldiers turned him away because he was too ugly to be a poet. However, the princess heard the poet's voice and invited him into the palace.
In the palace, the king and queen were with 45 other poets. They were actually princes, and they hoped to marry the princess. The poet told them a poem about the poor, and everyone was surprised.
After that, the princes left. The queen asked the poet to go too, ▲ he wasn't good for the princess. That was the truth. The poet knew it, so he left.
The poet went far away. He told people a new poem. It was about his love for the blind little princess.
The people told the poet a cure for the princess's blindness. All he needed to do was kiss her eyelids. She must be asleep, though.
In no time, the poet returned to the palace. He told the king and queen his plan. They agreed to it as long as he left after he kissed her. So, the poet did just that.
When the princess woke up, she saw everything around her. However, nothing was beautiful. Then, she went outside and ran into the poet. She finally found real beauty.
