Once upon a time, there was a precious little girl with beautiful red hair, named Alicia. She was a princess, you know. She lived in a castle with a steep wooden stairway to her upper chambers. There she stayed with her brother, the prince. When she got older, the king and queen moved to a newer and bigger castle. It had beautiful gardens with roses. There were also trees to climb and the princess could often be seen in the upper branches. Sometimes with the prince and sometimes with a wild tiger (her cat?).Her horse had two wheels that could speed down the road because Princess Alicia could peddle faster than the wind.
There were adventures of all kinds. One time she went to sea with her grandfather. The crew was a dangerous bunch and the princess had to wear glasses for a disguise. And no one guessed who she really was.

And then our princess grew up. She met her very own prince and he hustled her away to his own castle in a foreign country. There were many dragons and obstacles, but the princess kept fighting them off.
All of those loyal subjects who had known and loved her since that beautiful fall day she was born, love her still. And they all join in this happy occasion of her 23rd birthday to wish her the most happy of birthdays.
