80.The Prince and the Tailor

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The prince and the tailor. Once upon a time, in
a kingdom surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills, there
lived a young prince named Leopold. He was beloved by
his people for his kindness, but he had one secret.
He despised the heavy, ornate royal clothes he was forced
to wear. His royal duties demanded that he appear in

(00:21):
fine silks and gold embroidered robes. But to Leopold, these
garments felt like chains, trapping him in a life that
didn't reflect who he truly was. The prince longed for
freedom to walk among the common folk and experience life
as they did, but the rules of royalty forbade it.
One day, while wandering through the market incognito, Leopold came

(00:43):
across a small tailor shop. Inside, he saw a young tailor,
a man of great skill named THEO, working diligently on
a new suit. Theo's shop was humble, with fabric samples
hanging on the walls and the soft glow of candle
light illuminating the room. When the Prince entered, he greeted
THEO with a friendly smile, and THEO, noticing the stranger's

(01:06):
unrefined appearance, offered him a seat. What can I help
you with, good, Sir, asked THEO. Leopold hesitated, then asked,
could you make me a suit that's unlike anything I've
ever worn before, something that's simple, comfortable, and honest. THEO agreed,
and over the course of several weeks crafted the most
beautiful outfit the prince had ever seen. Simple yet elegant,

(01:30):
made from soft, natural fabrics that seemed to glow with warmth.
It was far different from the elaborate royal garments Leopold
had always worn, but it felt like a true reflection
of him. Once the suit was finished, Leopold tried it on.
It was perfect fit for a prince, yet humble enough
to let him move freely. He paid THEO for his work,

(01:53):
though the price was far less than it would have
been for royal clothes. The tailor, seeing the Prince's joy,
smiled and they hearted ways, unaware that their paths would
soon cross again. As the days passed, Leopold wore his
new outfit, secretly, venturing out into the kingdom as a commoner.
He was amazed at how different the world looked when

(02:14):
he wasn't weighed down by his princely attire. People saw
him not as a prince, but as one of them.
He was free to experience the joys and struggles of
his people without the walls of royalty separating them. Meanwhile,
news spread that the royal tailor had made a new,
strange suit for the prince. People in the kingdom began

(02:35):
to talk. Some laughed, saying the prince had lost his
sense of grandeur, while others marveled at the courage it
took to wear such a simple outfit. One day, when
a grand royal event was held, Leopold wore the new
suit openly for the first time. The courtiers were shocked
and whispers filled the air, but the Prince stood tall, unashamed.

(02:57):
Theo watching from the sidelines saw the prince nce his
quiet confidence, and knew he had made a mark on
the kingdom. The tailor's humble skill had allowed the prince
to embrace who he truly was, free and unburdened by
the weight of his title. From that day forward, the
people of the Kingdom saw Leopold not just as a prince,
but as a ruler who understood them, whose heart was

(03:18):
as open as his spirit, and as for THEO, He
continued his craft, knowing that sometimes the simplest creations are
the ones that change the world.
