PRINCE FLORIAN SEEKS A BRIDE
1.
At the age of sixteen Prince Florian was told he had to find a bride. His father sent him to all the neighbouring kingdoms, all five of them. Two of them had princesses double his age which Florian thought was a problem. He said, "Thank you. Nice to meet you. Goodbye." And ran back home.
Two of them had princesses half his age which their fathers thought was a problem. "Please, come back in ten years' time, Prince Florian. The princess is too young," their fathers said.
The fifth one was so ugly Prince Florian's glasses cracked when he looked at her. He thought it would be too expensive to have to buy glasses all the time. So he said, "Fair princess, I'm afraid our country is too poor to house your kind of beauty. Thank you for seeing me."
Then he went, stopping at the optician's on the way to buy new glasses. The optician, hearing Florian was the crown prince, put 'supplier to the royal family' on his shop window, his advertising and his business cards. Consequently he nearly quadrupled his income, which allowed him to marry his sweetheart.
But this is the story of Prince Florian and he was looking for a bride.
