En una hermosa cabaña en las montañas más lejanas de Alaska, vivía sola una dulce niña de nombre Alejandra, sólo tenía 11 años. Como no vivía nadie alrededor no tenía amigos, ni nadie con quién compartir, debía mantenerse allí hasta que tuviera 18 años.

Todos los días veia por la ventana lo que su vista le permitia ver y se imaginaba que salia salía a jugar con la nieve, solo una ves a la semana venía una señora con frutas y alimentos preparados para la semana, no tardaba ni cinco minutos allí y luego se iba. Alejandra para no volverse loca, hablaba con sus muñecas todo el día, ellas se hicieron sus únicas amigas, después de 6 años ya se empezaba a acostumbrar.

In a beautiful cabin in the farthest mountains of Alaska, there lived alone a sweet little girl named Alejandra, she was only 11 years old. Since no one lived around her, she had no friends and no one to share her life with, so she had to stay there until she was 18 years old.

Every day she saw through the window what her sight allowed her to see and she imagined that she was going out to play with the snow, only once a week a lady came with fruits and food prepared for the week, she didn't spend five minutes there and then she left. Alejandra, in order not to go crazy, talked to her dolls all day long, they became her only friends, after 6 years she started to get used to it.

Cada vez que la señora iba a llevarle la comida le decía —solo tienes que esperar hasta que tengas 18 años, luego saldras, tu padre te esta castigando, fue quien te aislo de todos y por eso te tiene aqui—. Alejandra comenzó a soñar con ese día, a medida que iba creciendo era más real.

Quería que pasara rápido el tiempo para poder salir de allí, así ver a su padre y preguntarle que lo habia llevado a encerrarla, aún así ella esperaba volver a estar a su lado y junto con él disfrutar del mundo del que recordaba muy poco. Nadie podía imaginarse que una niña pudiera vivir así, abandonada por todos mucho menos por su propio padre.

Every time the lady went to bring her food, she told her -you only have to wait until you are 18 years old, then you will get out, your father is punishing you, he is the one who isolated you from everyone and that is why he has you here-. Alejandra began to dream of that day, as she grew older it became more real.

She wanted time to pass quickly so she could get out of there, so she could see her father and ask him what had led him to lock her up, even so she hoped to be by his side again and together with him enjoy the world she remembered very little of. No one could imagine that a girl could live like that, abandoned by everyone, much less by her own father.

La cabaña tenía una gran biblioteca, su madre quien habia fallecido le habia inculcado amor por la lectura, al leerle historias fascinantes, pero era su padre quien habia enseñado a leer, así que durante el día el pasatiempo favorito de Alejandra era leerle a sus muñecas, su imaginación era grande, con cada libro que leía se imaginaba como podria ser su vida, —como me gustaría vivir en un hermoso castillo rodeada de hermosas plantas y no en esta cabaña fría— decía en voz alta.

The cabin had a large library, her mother who had passed away had instilled in her a love for reading by reading fascinating stories, but it was her father who had taught her to read, so during the day Alejandra's favorite pastime was reading to her dolls, her imagination was great, with each book she read she imagined how her life could be, "how I would like to live in a beautiful castle surrounded by beautiful plants and not in this cold cabin" she would say out loud.

Un día se queda mirando fijamente hacia una dirección donde se encontraba la puerta, esa que desde muy pequeña le había dicho la mujer que no podía intentar abrir, que era peligroso, ya sólo faltaba un día para que cumpliera los 18 años y se sintió preparada para intentar abrir esa puerta, buscó un cuchillo para abrirlo pero después de un rato no lo logró, así que sacó un gancho de su cabello y lo colocó en la cerradura y luego de tres intentos logró que sonara el seguro. Estaba muy nerviosa, solo girar la manilla y descubriría que había detrás de esa puerta después de tantos años.

Sus manos temblaban pero agarró con fuerza a su muñeca favorita, para que le diera valor mientras con la otra giraba la manilla, —increíble, que hermoso— decía mientras pasaba a otro mundo totalmente diferente, cerró la puerta luego de salir, observando el gran árbol que tenía en su raíz esa puerta que le dió su libertad.

One day she stares in the direction of the door, the one that the woman had told her since she was a little girl that she could not try to open, that it was dangerous, there was only one day left until she turned 18 and she felt ready to try to open that door, she looked for a knife to open it but after a while she did not succeed, so she took a hook out of her hair and placed it in the lock and after three attempts she managed to make the lock ring. She was very nervous, just turn the handle and she would find out what was behind that door after so many years.

Her hands were trembling but she grabbed her favorite doll to give her courage while with the other she turned the handle, -incredible, how beautiful- she said while she passed to another world totally different, she closed the door after leaving, observing the big tree that had in its root that door that gave her her freedom.

Por todos lados había paisajes hermosos rodeado de naturaleza, nunca había sido tan feliz, caminaba y caminaba y no se cansaba de explorar, había árboles frutales para comer, frutas que nunca había probado, —espero no terminar de leer este libro— se repetía porque creía que otra vez estaba imaginando todo.

Everywhere there were beautiful landscapes surrounded by nature, he had never been so happy, he walked and walked and never tired of exploring, there were fruit trees to eat, fruits he had never tasted, "I hope I don't finish reading this book" he repeated to himself because he thought he was imagining everything again.

Después de mucho caminar, vió a lo lejos un gran castillo de una belleza indescriptible, al llegar y tocar la gran puerta, está que parecía estar atorada y se abrió, a lo lejos vió una figura que caminaba hacia ella, una voz masculina se escuchó gritar muy emocionado —hija mía has llegado.

After a long walk, she saw in the distance a great castle of indescribable beauty, when she arrived and touched the great door, it seemed to be stuck and opened, in the distance she saw a figure walking towards her, a male voice was heard shouting very excited "my daughter you have arrived".

Alejandra estaba sorprendida, ese hombre corrió a abrazarla, aunque habían pasado años, aún lo recordaba, era su padre. Al sentirla tan extrañada el rey le explicó que ella era su hija la princesa Alejandra, su esposa, la madrastra de Alejandra se la había llevado lejos de él para vengarse, le dijo que si salía a buscarla le iba a hacer mucho daño, a pesar de ser el rey prefirió quedarse encerrado esperando a que un día su hija regresara, para que esa mujer no le hiciera daño.

La mujer le dijo que solo al cumplir 18 años la iba a liberar, la madrastra creía que a esa edad iba a odiar a su padre, y que seria su propia hija llena de rencor, quien acabaría con él. Lo que no se imaginaba esa mujer es que el corazón de Alejandra era tan puro que no cabía odio, ni rencor, ni resentimiento.

Alejandra le dió un abrazo a su padre y le dijo —te extrañe mucho papá, esperé mucho para poder volver a verte, aunque siempre creí que me habías abandonado nunca dejé de quererte—. Todo el pueblo se alegró de tener de vuelta a la princesa, ahora el rey ya no estaría triste.

Alejandra was surprised, that man ran to embrace her, although years had passed, she still remembered him, he was her father. The king explained to her that she was his daughter, the princess Alejandra, his wife, Alejandra's stepmother had taken her away from him to take revenge, she told him that if he went out to look for her he would hurt her very much, in spite of being the king he preferred to stay locked up waiting for his daughter to return one day, so that this woman would not hurt him.

The woman told him that only when she turned 18 would she free her, the stepmother believed that at that age she would hate her father, and that it would be her own daughter, full of resentment, who would finish him off. What that woman did not imagine was that "Alejandra's heart was so pure that there was no room for hatred, resentment or resentment".

Alejandra gave her father a hug and said, "I missed you so much daddy, I waited so long to see you again, although I always thought you had abandoned me, I never stopped loving you". The whole town was happy to have the princess back, now the king would no longer be sad.

Así fue como el Reino del Bosque volvió a la normalidad, después de mucho tiempo el rey ya estaba con su princesa Alejandra, que no se dejó envenenar por los actos de su cruel madrastra.

Ese día todos aprendieron una gran lección: "Nunca debemos dejar que palabras o actos de los demás, nos hagan cambiar nuestra manera de pensar o actuar con las demás personas".

That was how the Kingdom of the Forest returned to normal after a long time, the king was already with his princess Alejandra who did not let herself be poisoned by the acts of her cruel stepmother.

That day everyone learned a great lesson: "We should never let words or acts of others, make us change our way of thinking or acting with other people".
