Solution to the Impossible

“I will get you anything your heart desires. Is there anything your heart desires?”
“Yes” said the Princess. “I want the moon. If I can have the moon, I will be well again.”
“Okay, you can have the moon”
This conversation took place in Princess Lenore’s bedroom. She’s sick and needs something to cure it. The king is willing to get her anything she wants, with the help of others. Princess Lenore counts on her father to get her the moon.
While Princess Lenore counts on her father to get her the moon, the king needs advice and help. The king calls in the Lord High Chamberlain, the Royal Wizard, and the Royal Mathematician. They come up with ideas to get the moon but none work, a mild conflict, which is the first point in the mode of romance.
Finally, the king speaks with the Court Jester. The Court Jester comes up with a way to give Princess Lenore the moon. The Court Jester finds out how big, far away, and what the moon is made of, according to Princess Lenore. Once he finds this out, the Court Jester rushes to the Royal Goldsmith. The Royal Goldsmith creates a beautiful necklace with a gold ball on it. This was “the moon” and Princess Lenore loved it! The conflict was overcome which is the second point to the mode of romance.
Princess Lenore loved her necklace and started to feel cured again. But, the king realizes “We must keep the Princess Lenore from seeing the moon when it shines in the sky tonight.” Once again the king calls in the Royals but none of them come up with any solutions. The Court Jester is their only hope. When the Princess and the Court Jester are talking the moon starts to shine. The Court Jester asks “How can the moon be shining in the sky, when it’s hanging from your neck?” Princess Lenore answers that a new moon took its place. This made everyone smile.
So, the Princess is cured, and there are no more problems. This is the last point in the mode of romance. This is a new beginning. So you can see that in this world today, it’s not always impossible to have the impossible.
