Pisna Princezna- Proud/Spoiled Princess

Based on a 1952 story, Punished Pride, by one of CZ most beloved authors, Bozena Nemcova,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo%C5%BEena_N%C4%9Bmcov%C3%A1#mediaviewer/File:Bozena_Nemcova.jpg.

Fairy-tales are the undercurrent and folklore of CZ culture, at least for the last 100 years.


This is the only image I found of the scene where the princess, realizing her "proud nature" gone runs to tell the prince that she is back to her kind self.

Grandma listens to this every day and talks to Gott as she does not realize the illusion of television.
