Princess Sarah and the King
I believe that the original version of this fairy tale is a story of Dave the Court Jester and Sarah the Princess. Did you know that I just noticed about a week ago that in this fairy tale titled "Princess Sarah and the King" that nowhere in the story is the Princess referred to as Sarah? However, the title always was and will remain, "Princess Sarah and the King."
Another version of this fairy tale is that it tells the story of all of us as we search to become the person that God our King meant us to be. The Evil Dragon lurks in the world using his tools to try to convince us that we are not God's children. He encourages us to wear masks and to hide from our Father. But the Court Jester who was sent to love us brings us back to our Father.
... And there is much joy in the Kingdom over those who return.
