This is Pear Girl, I have the story behind it, I dont really remember how I get the story I think its from my friend's computer. It is belong to somebody I dunno who.

Once upon a time, a peasant worked hard to make a living from his land. Every year his pear tree produced four basketfuls of fruit which had to be given to the king, a greedy ruler who grew rich at the expense of the poor.

One year, part of the pear harvest went bad and the peasant was able to pick only three and a half baskets of fruit. The poor man was beside himself with fear, for the king refused to take less than four basketfuls, and the peasant would be cruelly punished.

All he could do was put his youngest daughter into one of the baskets and cover her with a layer of pears, so that the basket looked full. The king's servants took away the four baskets without ever noticing the trick, and the little girl found herself all alone in the pantry, under the pears.

One day, the cook went into the pantry and discovered her. Nobody could understand where on earth she had come from, and not knowing what to do with her, it was decided she should become a maid in the castle. Folk called her Violetta, for her eyes reminded them of the colour of violets.

Violetta was a pretty girl, sweet and generous. One day, as she was watering the flowers in the royal gardens, she met the king's son, a youth of her own age, and the two became friends. Soon he was in love with Violetta and that he wanted to marry her.

This is the story about a lucky violetta and her pear. So my illustration is made for remembering that a fear can push someone to make a crazy decission (like send a daughter in a basket of pear to a cruel king) but it will always result in 50:50 ways, positive and negative. Let's just think the poor father give only 3 and a half basket of pears, it will result 100% cruel punishment. What a clever father.

Not very happy with the result but its okai lah, I really need to submit somethin before goin crazy.
