once upon a time,a cruise crashed by a tropical cyclone named cleo in the middle of the ocean,eastern side of South Africa,,carried a complete family,a mother,father,granny and 2years baby boy...The whole family died excluding their two years baby,he was washed away by the ocean's onshore waves,and threw him to the coast...luckly there was a woman called Hellen,a former queen of morolong village,she was chase away by the king of morolong village for not giving him children,in fact she was a barren....She lived in the forest for few years ever since,,,one day she heard a baby crying near the coast while fishing for breakfast.she ran down to the coast and found a helpless baby boy crying along the coast,,she took the boy with her and raised him by herself.She taught him how to hunt food and how to live a forest life with animals.....Hellen got ill and died.....the little boy got confused and yet baried her by himself.."thank you for everything mommy" said the little boy,standing next to hellen's grave....The boy then lived according to how his step mother taught him. Six months later,the current queen of Morolong village gave to a beautiful baby girl named LEBO.she was nominated as a princess of the village at the age of 10....she was then given a golden crown as time goes on by the age of 18,and it was announce officially infront of the village community that Lebo is now a princess of Morolong village....Two years after the official announcement,the princess went to the ocean just to swim for a while,,,her father's security followed her just to make sure that she is always safe...when she gets there she told the security to go away. "go away please i need some privacy,in fact i want to swim naked"..said princess Lebo....the security turned back to the village and leaved her alone in the ocean side....As she was busy swimming,the sharks was closer to the coast that moment,,,she didn't saw them coming...they all attacked her..she screamed alound but there was no one closer..fortunatly it was later around 17:h00pm,the the boy was fishing for supper on the coast line....princess screamed again,,,her voice explored all over the coast line untill the boy heard her...he dropped his fishes and ran down to where the voice was coming from.......he saw sharks a beautiful young lady surrounded by sharks,he jumped into the ocean with a strong bow in his left hand,he stabbed two sharks that was close the princess and carry her on his shoulder.He kissed her,not in a manner of romance,but he was sharing his breath with her to survive.He called his whale wish frind for help,as his whale was busy fighting with sharks,it was the time he got outn of the water..Princess Lebo was breathless stegnant,the boy kissed her again,,,she caughed and woke up with a frightened face,and she found herself inside the warm arms of the young man who rescued her,...she looked deeper into his eyes and say..
