A SAD STORY
Once upon a time, a handsome prince met a poor village girl and they fell in love. His name was Richard and her name was Rose. They had to keep their romance in secret from the King and Queen. Richard gave Rose a gold ring with a large diamond. She gave him a silver ring with a small emerald which her mother had given her just before she died.
One day Rose was walking through the village when she saw Gloria, the innkeeper's daughter. She couldn't believe her eyes! Gloria was wearing her mother's silver ring.
There was a simple explanation. Earlier that day prince Richard had left the ring by an open window before he went hunting with his father. A magpie had seen the ring sparkling in the sunlight. The magpie had flown down and taken the ring. Later, the magpie was frightened by the hunters, and dropped the ring just outside the village inn. Gloria found it a few minutes later.
Rose thought that the prince had given Gloria the ring. She left the village that afternoon with a broken heart.
When Richard returned from hunting he went to his room. The ring had gone! He ran to the village to tell Rose, but she had already left. Richard never saw her again. They both lived unhappily ever after, though they were both rich, because Rose sold the gold ring that the prince had given her.

When he was 34, Mickey Rourke quit acting to become a boxer. He had become very aggressive and self-destructive because he had had a violent step-father who had made him feel worthless. When he was a young actor, he had been very successful, and had had a very big house and a glamorous wife. He had gradually lost all his friends and his wife, and ended up in one room, lifting weights all day long. During the five and a half years he was boxing professionally, his face had been very badly damaged and he had to have plastic surgery. He realised that he had to get control of his life again, and he decided to ask for some help from a psychotherapist. It was very hard for him to do this as, in the culture he grew up in, men didn't show any weakness. He says that when he started acting again, his acting was better because of his life experience, as he had understood the problems other people can have. When he heard the director had offered him a part in a new Hollywood film, Sin City, he was very pleased and excited.
