Philip

One day, the king ordered all city residents to pay tribute to a grand ball in honor of Prince Philip. All residents gathered at the royal main gate and placed as many coins as they wanted in small boxes. Everyone who donated money to the ball was given invitations to the celebration. Philip looked down on all this from the palace balcony. He noticed a figure sitting between the houses and refusing to pay tribute. He considered this an insult and decided to deal with it personally. He went down to the city, but didn't find the figure, he only saw where it went - to the clearing It was a peasant girl, and apparently she didn't have a home. Her clothes were dirty, torn, and old. He found her not far from the city in a flower meadow.
