Suddenly, walls spring up around each village, separating the villagers from each other, and their differences and cause mistrust and misunderstanding that keep the villagers from remembering their harmonious life before the princess was born.To prove that some day the princss is capable of guiding the Kingdom, Princess Shayna travels on to the four villages where she learns to appreciate the villagers' unique strengths and differences. The princess' accepting perspective and her own "Precious Gifts" allow her to harmoniously unite all the villagers by sharing her Invisible Visible Gift and helping the villagers recognize and appreciate their own "Praiseworthy Gifts".
