He was a young prince, handsome, elegant, and the king and queen\u2019s only child in a big and wealthy nation. He didn\u2019t approve of common everyday activities and ordinary pleasures, and didn\u2019t like to ride horses, nor hunt, nor have fun in any other way. He only liked books. He would spend many hours in his room located in the highest watchtower in one of the corners of the royal palace. When he started reading a story, nothing and no one could convince him to come out of his room until he turned the last page and read the last word.The king truly wished for his son to marry as soon as possible, because he thought that it was time for him to settle down and pick a princess who would become an excellent queen when the prince took over his nation\u2019s government. The prince, however, didn\u2019t want to think about marriage and he told his father that he was very happy and didn\u2019t want to make any changes in his life. Instead of wearing the king\u2019s crown he preferred to be a prince; and as far as the princesses, they were unpleasant and from what he had read in many books, all of them, or most of them, were foolish and vain. In his opinion, the only ones not included in this general rule, were his mother and his cousin Jacobita. What will happen with the prince and his parents\u2019 wishes that he marries soon? Will he find the ideal princess? <\/p>\n
Era un pr\u00edncipe joven, guapo, elegante e hijo \u00fanico de los reyes de una naci\u00f3n grande y rica. Desechaba los gustos corrientes y ordinarios, y no le agradaba montar a caballo, ni cazar, ni divertirse de ninguna manera. No lo distra\u00edan m\u00e1s que los libros. Se pasaba horas y horas en su habitaci\u00f3n, situada en la atalaya m\u00e1s alta de uno de los \u00e1ngulos del palacio real, y cuando hab\u00eda principiado la lectura de una historia, nada ni nadie pod\u00eda sacarlo de aquel lugar hasta que terminaba la \u00faltima p\u00e1gina y hab\u00eda le\u00eddo la \u00faltima palabra.Deseaba el rey con verdadero anhelo casar a su hijo cuanto antes, pues cre\u00eda que era ya tiempo de que se estableciese eligiendo una princesa que llegara a ser reina excelente cuando el pr\u00edncipe tuviera el gobierno de su naci\u00f3n. El pr\u00edncipe, sin embargo, no pensaba en semejante cosa y afirmaba que era muy feliz y que no necesitaba introducir en su vida cambio alguno; prefer\u00eda ser pr\u00edncipe, y no llevar puesta la corona de rey; y en cuanto a las princesas, las princesas a su juicio eran desagradables y seg\u00fan lo que en muchos libros hab\u00eda le\u00eddo todas, o la mayor parte de \u00e9llas, eran necias y vanidosas; las \u00fanicas que en su opini\u00f3n se apartaban de la regla general, eran su madre y su prima Jacobita. \u00bfQu\u00e9 pasar\u00e1 con el pr\u00edncipe y el deseo de sus padres de que se case pronto? \u00bfEncontrar\u00e1 la princesa ideal?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
