Once lived in

to do. Generations or there was a young man of sixteen, pretty spoiled and full
of stubborn, but with a heart of gold. Of all was the one who knew what evil,
and patiently, he would have been turned.
So the king
had commanded to be brought the boy to the palace. For a while he stared at
him. He gave wise advice and carry it like a real parent. But he was a young
boy lightly and do not take account of anything, continuing to act with
recklessness, as before, and to waste time and money on pointless pleasures.
But come a
time when, disgusted with his own mood, the young could not find anything to please.
Become sad and cranky. Then the king take a bold decision and told her prince:
"Listen
son, tomorrow morning you leave the palace, with a good horse, a squire and a

from my advice. But do not come back, my boy, before twelve months, for you
palace gates will be closed by then. I have to deal with all kinds of people,
because life experience is his deputy. "
And no longer

And the
