Reflection on the story: This story can convey several reflections, depending on the interpretation given to it. However, one possible reflection is that sometimes solutions to our problems may require sacrifices and acts of bravery. In the story, the princess refused to give the troll a kiss to stop the rain, but after 30 years of suffering, she finally realized that she needed to do something to solve the problem. By asking for the troll to be brought back, she demonstrated her compassion and empathy, which in turn led to a peaceful solution to the troubling weather.
In addition, the story can convey the idea that second chances are possible and that people can change. The troll, who originally demanded a kiss of love as payment to stop the rain, eventually becomes friends with the princess and promises to stop the rain without asking for anything in return. This can be interpreted as an example of how even those who seem evil or selfish can change and show kindness and generosity.
