The Poor Man and His Princess is a children's short story about unconditional love, and the connection made between a poor old man and the young orphan girl he took in when her parents could not be found.In this story set in West Africa some centuries ago, an outcaste is awakened by a noise outside his small, humble home. When he investigates the noise, the poor man finds a little girl who was lost and tired. Attempts to find this child's parents were unsuccessful, resulting in the young girl remaining under the poor man's care. Although the man is resistant to his fate, he becomes quite attached to the girl; and after years of raising her, the young girl grows to love him as her father. Unfortunately, the day comes when the poor man and his little girl are visited by a group of soldiers from a faraway kingdom, looking for a princess who was lost many years prior. The events that follow in this heart-warming story demonstrate that riches and class cannot rival love. The Poor Man and His Princess is a children's tale that teaches us about the greatness of selflessness, humility, and love that is found in all humans of all classes and backgrounds. The reader also finds that we do not always need to look far to find our worth, for our worth can always be found at home.*CONTACT J3NATIONAL FOR WORKSHEET*
