Once upon a time, there was a prince who lived in a grand castle. He had all the power and wealth he could ever want, but he was unhappy. One day, he stumbled upon a mysterious present that had the power to grant one wish. He wished for happiness and pressed the button on the box. Suddenly, he was transported to a pretty garden, where he met a fairy who told him that true happiness can only be found by helping others. The prince was determined to prevent others from feeling the same unhappiness he had felt. He used his power and wealth to build a private prison for those who had wronged society, with the goal of rehabilitating them and giving them a second chance. The prize for successfully completing the program was freedom, and probably a better life too. The prince was finally happy, knowing that he was using his power for good. The end.
