Summary
This week's featured story comes from the So Many Fairies collection.
It's called "The Lantern Prince."
The Prince is not like his parents. In fact, he is not like any royal. In addition to being strong, obedient, and confident — common royal traits — he is also very kind and loving. But what makes the Prince unusual is that he is kind and loving to everyone, royal and servant alike. The King and Queen hope that he will grow out of it, but alas, as he grows he only gets more loving and kind. One day he spies a poor beggar woman in the streets, and his life is never the same again.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone, Sparkle Friends. |
| 0:10.3 | Welcome to the Sparkle Stories podcast. |
| 0:12.8 | This is Elizabeth of Sparkle Stories on the second week of November. |
| 0:17.6 | This week we are celebrating a little known holiday called Martin Miss. We're just going to |
| 0:22.1 | take a moment to celebrate it because it's a pretty special holiday. It comes from the Christian |
| 0:26.4 | tradition, and it's inspired by St. Martin. St. Martin was originally Martin, the soldier, |
| 0:33.4 | and Martin performs an incredible act of kindness and saves a beggar. |
| 0:38.5 | And from that, Martin becomes a saint. |
| 0:40.9 | And now the message of Martinus for all of us is that our individual actions, |
| 0:46.9 | our individual lives can make a giant impact on our world, on our communities, on our friends and family. Our kindness, our generosity, |
| 1:00.4 | our joy even ripples out into the world, your immediate world and the bigger world. |
| 1:08.9 | So I've picked a story called The lantern prince from the so many fairies |
| 1:12.5 | collection. I love to share this story. I think it's a story you can listen to over and over and |
| 1:19.2 | over because it's about a young prince who is extraordinarily kind and generous, unwaveringly kind, generous, unwaveringly kind, generous, and loving. And it's about how he |
| 1:33.4 | makes an impact on his community. And not only that, he transforms himself and his own life. |
| 1:41.3 | So listen in and get inspired for this time of year. Before I share the story, |
