and I'll begin. The True Sweetheart. Once upon a time, there lived a young girl who had lost her mother when she was quite young.

Now she had a stepmother who made every day difficult for her.

In fact, she made everything difficult for everyone around her.

But the woman was never satisfied.

The harder Arabella worked, the more work was given to her. One day, the moment Arabella had just finished a task,

her stepmother came to her with yet another.
