The Princess in the code

In a nice place, not far from the ancient city, in a large countryside house there lived a Businessman and his wife, the Beauty. They lived in a house people could dream about. The house was modern with all appliances you could imagine. Even the dishwasher was loaded by the house keeper robot. The only problem they had. They had no children. There was no modern technology to help them. They travelled and travelled around the different countries in order to search the wonder1ful cure. Once they came across an old woman who it was said to be a healer. She listened to them and gave them a bag with herbs. The herbs smelled nicely and a little bit bitterly. She said that they would be happy. There was only one rule: in order not to lose the happiness you would have to take the computers away from their place.

Some time later the businessman and the beauty had got a daughter. She was beautiful and kind, she did not fit much to the time she lived. She seemed to come from another century or mixed the centuries. She loved horses and flowers. She was more interested in books than computers. Her parents and friends call her the Princess. Sixteen years past. The rule given by the old woman was forgotten. What is more, they did not take up her words seriously. They did not believe in fortune telling much and how they could imagine their life without computers in nowadays technological world.

On his daughter’s birthday, on that day when the princess was sixteen, the business man gave her a laptop. He thought it was the right time to teach her to deal with the computer. He thought she had to be and look like others, like a nowadays teenager, not a princess from a fairy tale. The Businessman put off a regular horse riding and catching butterflies, he took his daughter to the computer desk and switched on the computer. The Internet was on and at that moment the princess disappeared. She was not in the room any longer. There was only a flat figure that looked like the Princess on the monitor.
