The king, queen, and their three teenage daughters rank high on the list of prestige because of their kind hearts and enthusiasm for serving the less fortunate. Although the king and queen have the heart to serve and were very respectful to all humanity, after several years of close observation, they realized that their princess daughters were behaving as spoiled, selfish, disrespectful and unappreciative young ladies; totally opposite of how they'd been raised. The king and queen decided that their children needed to be taught a lesson, so they sent them off on a two-week trip to Africa. The three princesses were excited about this wonderful-luxury vacation they assumed they were taking, until they arrived in Ethiopia and discovered it was far from luxurious. Once they arrived at their destination, they were greeted by three Ethiopian children about the same ages as them, Eshe, Addae, and Afia. After coming to the reality that the trip destination wasn't a joke, the princesses were escorted by the three Ethiopian children and shown where they would be residing. After being forced to live the Ethiopian culture for two weeks, the princess realized how fortunate they were, and it opened their eyes to a whole new world of hard work, appreciativeness, respect for themselves and others, different cultures, and new friendships. After the emotional departure from Africa, and returning to Paradise, the king, queen, and their palace staff noticed immediately the princess' new attitudes. The princesses kept in contact with their new Ethiopian friends, and became philanthropist of Africa.
