The Golden Toys(Carlos Salinas) There was once a little princess whose toys were made of solid gold. Some were little figurines and some were too heavy to play with. Being a princess was a terribly lonely thing. When she asked to have other kids to play with, the king arranged for a small group of the kingdom's children to come play with her and her toys.

The children could not believe their eyes! They played with everything; the figurines and even the ones that were too heavy to play with. The little princess' choice however was a little rag doll brought by one of the little girls who was invited to play. To the little princess it was perfectly exquisite; her hair was made of coarse straw, her purple dress was made of an old cotton rag, and her eyes were two small stones sewn tightly down.
