00:00Once upon a time in the lake town of Luzon, there lived a fisherman with his two daughters, Mangita and Larina.

00:07Mangita was the eldest daughter, and was very kind and loving to everyone.

00:12The younger one, Larina, however, was just unlike her sister in every way.

00:19She would be mean to the fish, but she was also very kind.

00:24Larina, however, was just unlike her sister in every way.

00:29She would be mean to other people, catch butterflies and enclose them in bottles for fun, and often speak rudely with her sister.

00:39Mangita did all the chores of the house, and ensured food was cooked,

00:44so that when their father returned home from his day's work, hungry and exhausted,

00:50he had his food ready to eat and his bed made for him to sleep.

00:55Larina never helped her sister, and cared less about her father.

01:01She would spend her time sitting near the lake, combing her hair and looking at her reflection.

01:08Am I the most beautiful girl in the town, or what?

01:13Oh, who am I kidding?

01:15There is no one more beautiful than me in the whole of the kingdom, let alone this small poor town.

01:24One day, the fisherman fell very ill and passed away.

01:29Mangita was devastated.

01:31She cried and wept for hours, but soon realized that the responsibility of her family now rested on her shoulders.

01:41She gained her composure and went to tell Larina about her decision.

01:46Larina, as usual, sat by the lake obsessing over her looks.

01:52Sister, I am here to talk to you about something important.

01:56Oh, go away. Can't you see I am busy?

02:00Well, I won't take much of your time.

02:03Oh, what is it?

02:07Well, since father is not with us anymore, we don't have anyone earning for us.

02:13Hence, I have decided to go sell fish in the market every day.

02:19I don't know if it would be enough, but I would try my best.

02:24Okay, whatever. Now leave me alone.

02:29You don't have to be so unkind with me.

02:32I love you, you know. Right?

02:35Oh, I don't need your love, sister. I was born in the wrong family.

02:42But know this, things won't always stay the same.

02:46I am destined to become a queen one day and leave this miserable, miserable town and all of you behind.

02:56My Prince Charming will come. You will see.

03:01Mangita let out a sigh.

03:05Oh, I wish nothing but happiness for you, little sister.

03:11Days passed, and Mangita worked very hard to make ends meet for herself and her sister.

03:18One day when she came home with just a few coins, she felt very concerned.

03:25Lorena, I am sorry, but what I earn is not enough to feed the two of us.

03:32Would you help me in selling the fish from tomorrow?

03:36What? What did you just say?

03:40I'm asking you to help me sell the fish so that we can make enough money for the two of us.

03:46Please, sister.

03:48You must be out of your mind. I am a future queen.

03:53You want me to become a peasant? Ha! No way.

03:58But sister, that's enough. I am going to the lake.

04:03Mangita was very sad. She sat down and started to weep.

04:09Lorena stepped out of the house and saw an old lady standing outside.

04:15What do you want, old woman?

04:18Oh, dear child, I am hungry and thirsty and have walked for miles.

04:27Would you be kind enough to give me a loaf to eat and a little water to drink?

04:34Do I look like a servant to you? Get out of my face.

04:38Lorena pushed the old woman out of her way and walked away.

04:43Oh, dear.

04:47Hearing an old woman's cry, Mangita at once came out of the house.

04:53She was horrified to see the woman lying down.

04:56Oh, I am so sorry.

04:59Mangita helped the old woman stand up and brought her inside the house.

05:05The old woman explained to her how Lorena had pushed her.

05:10Mangita was shocked.

05:12Oh, I am sorry, old grandmother.

05:16My sister can sometimes be a little unkind.

05:22Oh, that's all right. You seem to be the kinder one.

05:28If you would be kind enough to give me a little loaf to eat and water to drink, I would be on my way.

05:38Mangita nodded and brought her the only bread she had.

05:43She also gave her a glass of water.

05:47The old woman happily ate the bread and drank the water.

05:51Oh, thank you so much, my child. You are a kind soul.

05:58Saying this, the old woman left.

06:02Mangita went to sleep empty-stomached.

06:06A few days later, Mangita fell ill and was bedridden.

06:12Lorena, as usual, did not care much.

06:16Oh, sister, please go to the market and sell the fish.

06:26We have no savings to survive.

06:29I am not going anywhere. I am telling you for the last time.

06:35Saying that, Lorena stepped out of the house to find the old woman again.

06:41You again? What do you want now?

06:44I heard that Mangita is unwell.

06:48I have brought her these seeds that will help her recover.

06:53Let me in so that I can give her a seed every hour and take care of her.

06:59You will see that by morning she will be fine.

07:04Lorena grinned her teeth for she did not want Mangita to recover.

07:10She pretended to smile.

07:13Oh, you don't have to give yourself trouble.

07:17She is my sister. Give the seeds to me and I will make sure that she is taken care of.

07:24Are you sure?

07:26Oh, absolutely.

07:29Oh, well, okay then.

07:33Lorena took the bag of seeds from the old woman.

07:38Mangita's fever worsened and all night she could not sleep.

07:43She kept tossing and turning in her bed.

07:47Her eyes started to turn yellow.

07:50Lorena felt immense joy seeing her sister suffer.

07:55She did not even once tell her about the seeds and hid the bag under the bed.

08:03The next morning when she woke up, she found Mangita sweating profusely.

08:09She smiled and as she was about to leave the house, the old woman entered.

08:16Huh? You? How dare you enter our house without permission?

08:22The old woman smiled and snapped her fingers.

08:26At once she turned into a handsome looking man.

08:31What? You are an angel?

08:35I am no angel. I am a prince.

08:39Prince Stephen of House Validam.

08:42I have mystic powers and have been out and about looking for the kindest woman on earth to marry.

08:48And I must say, I have finally found the right girl.

08:53If she will have me.

08:56Well, of course, my prince. You have no idea how long I have waited to for this day.

09:04Let's go far away from this place and live happily ever after.

09:10Quiet, you wicked soul. I wasn't talking about you.

09:14Huh?

09:16Prince Stephen turned his sight towards Mangita and closed his eyes.

09:22Golden light surrounded his body.

09:25Mangita, who lay on the bed with her eyes closed, illuminated of the golden light too.

09:33Lorena watched all of this in astonishment.

09:37Soon Mangita opened her eyes and stood up, feeling perfectly all right.

09:44Prince Stephen opened his eyes and the golden light vanished.

09:49Mangita was dumbfounded as she had no clue what was going on.

09:54Prince Stephen smiled and then explained everything to her.

09:59I was out all night watching over you.

10:02Your sister not only did not give you the seeds, she also prayed for your worst.

10:08Mangita was devastated to hear everything.

10:11She turned towards her sister.

10:14Sister, why? Why do you hate me so much?

10:20Oh please, I don't have time for all this drama.

10:24Go away from here with your prince and let me be.

10:27I have never liked you and I never ever will.

10:32Tears rolled out of Mangita's eyes, but the prince came forward to console her.

10:38Do not feel sad over her.

10:40She does not deserve your love and kindness.

10:44Let's go away from here and into my kingdom.

10:47I would like to make you my wife if you will have me as your husband.

10:52But, but she is my sister.

10:56Well, some people never change.

11:00It's best if you realize it now.

11:02Are you two done? This is getting tiring now.

11:07Mangita looked at Prince Stephen and nodded.

11:11Prince Stephen snapped his fingers and the two vanished into thin air.

11:16At the grand wedding, Mangita and Prince Stephen tied the knot

11:21and the two lived a happy and content life.

11:25Lorena stayed the same, unkind and cruel towards others.

11:30She did not change a bit.

11:34Mangita, however, made sure that her sister received enough food without her knowledge.

11:41Stephen often laughed at Mangita's hope for her sister to change.

11:47Well, some people never change.

11:51My sister will change one day. I know it.

11:55Oh, I'm not talking about her.

11:58I'm talking about you and your faith in her.
