Adolescent Self-Esteem: the Ro
Many years ago, in a faraway land, lived an unhappy prince. In many respects he was wellsatisfied with his life. He lived in a beautiful palace, his subjects were devoted to him, he hadservants to carry out his every wish, and altogether he led quite a comfortable life. Despite theluxury surrounding him, the prince wasn't satisfied. What he wanted to do more than anythingwas to walk through the kingdom and visit with the subjects. Since his own life was so pleasanthe wanted to find out what he could do to make their lives happier. He hadn't been able to gratifyhis wish because the land throughout the kingdom was extremely rocky.
