Oh my child...

Once upon a time, there was a girl... a girl who had everything she could possibly need, luxuries other people only dreamed of... but she was also a lonely girl.. and a sad little princess...
She was a happy, sweet lovable thing but lately... she'd become ill tempered, disobedient and rude... quite unlike the royalty she was groomed to be. Her parents, the King and Queen, were distraught with worry over the changes taking over their precious child...
They talked to many many other parents, children and care givers trying to find out what was wrong with their child... what was bothering her... what was lacking in her life...
Finally one day, they came across an old withered wise man... he looked carefully at the girl and beckoned her to kneel by him so he could peer into her eyes. After a long time, he tuned to the worried couple and said 'there is great sadness in her eyes, far beyond her years... she misses something in her life... she is deprived...'
The King, now annoyed exclaimed out loudly, 'but how can that be true, we made sure all her dreams came true'... The wise man looked at the King with calm eyes, as if he had anticipated what was to happen and said ' but your highness, there may have been something you have over looked...'
'you shower her with jewels and trinkets, all that shine and shimmer and ask in return she listen to your whims. Never once did you ask her whether by drowning her in riches you were fulfiling her whims... give her pearls and she will not complain, but neither will she accept your word in exchange.'
The Queen looked on, confused. The King even more so. 'What shall we do?' they exclaimed in unison...
'For every ring, give her a hug and a kiss. For every metallic creation, listen to her petty little woes, instead of silk your gentle ouch when she falls... and you will find the beautiful girl is hiding inside, very alone and afraid to come out...'
