Long ago and far away, |
| [00:12.96] |
in a village high on a mountaintop, |
| [00:14.93] |
something amazing was occurring: |
| [00:17.94] |
at the very same moment, |
| [00:19.41] |
two identical baby girls were born. |
| [00:21.94] |
|
| [00:24.78] |
one,a baby princess. |
| [00:27.36] |
The king and queen were overjoyed. |
| [00:29.61] |
|
| [00:30.53] |
Princess Anneliese would have only the finest. |
| [00:33.58] |
|
| [00:37.38] |
The second baby girl was named Erika. |
| [00:39.68] |
Her parents loved her every bit as much as the king and queen loved the princess, |
| [00:44.70] |
but they worried,they were so poor. |
| [00:47.82] |
How would they be able to care for their little daughter? |
| [00:51.05] |
|
| [00:53.69] |
Many years passed. |
| [00:56.02] |
The princess learned her royal duties, |
| [00:58.74] |
while Erika worked long and hard as a seamstress for the spiteful Madame Carp. |
| [01:02.99] |
|
| [01:05.25] |
With lives so different, |
| [01:06.38] |
it wasn't surprising that the princess and the pauper never met. |
| [01:10.82] |
But fate decreed they would. |
| [01:14.98] |
|
| [01:36.16] |
It all started at the royal mine... |
| [01:38.73] |
|
| [01:40.82] |
when the miners informed the queen the gold had run out! |
| [01:44.84] |
The widowed queen was shocked. |
| [01:47.13] |
The kingdom was now bankrupt. |
| [01:49.84] |
How was she going to take care of her people? |
| [01:52.15] |
If only she could call on her trusted advisor,Preminger. |
| [01:56.65] |
But he was away on a long journey. |
| [01:59.61] |
She needed to do something quickly to save the kingdom. |
| [02:02.69] |
But what? |
| [02:05.10] |
And then it struck her. |
| [02:07.38] |
Nearby lived a rich young king,who was seeking...a wife. |
