A princess’s life Princess is a 7 year-old girl, whom I met while walking barefoot through the muddy streets of Nacpan. When she crossed us she looked at my feet and pointed to a small house where sandals hung. I approached her and told her to choose something, but she refused and put some fuchsia pair (so her, little me) on me, insisting to take them and well, I bought them.
