Once upon a time, there was a very lovely, but very lonely peasant girl, who lived on the edge of the forest. She had almost no possessions because alas, she was very poor. But this didn't matter to her because she was very wealthy in dreams. She knew that one day, all of her dreams would come true, as long as she didn't give up on them.

Every evening, just as the sun set, she would sit on the edge of the road, near a tall oak tree and watch the colour of the evening sky turn the colours of the autumn. One evening, she was sitting by the tree when she heard the clob of horses coming down the road. And as she looked in the distance, what did she see but the royal carriage, being pulled by six beautiful white horses.
The carriage came to a stop in front of her, and the face of the kingdom's dashing young prince peered from the window.

"This is it" thought the woman.
"After waiting so long, my dreams are about to come true." And she greeted the prince with a warm smile. The prince smiled back and said
"You are very pretty, but I would never marry you, because you are poor."

And then he went away. And then she died. And nobody would bury her because she was poor.

The End

Obviously the prince's intentions were a matter of honor. He would have loved to marry the woman, but in doing so would cause social distress among his own people. At the same time, he is a prince, and obviously his parents would have the majority say in whom he would be married to.

Also quite unfortunate is the woman's irrational sense of optimism, when statistically there was no way she could've ascended past her social and economic status in a monarchy as such. She would've been much better off marrying someone wealthy, but of a lower class, as her appearance was enough to garner the attention of a prince.

But ending isn't realistic!

They didn't buried her, because there wasn't anyone around that could bury her. Even in ancient times people were buried by others no matter of their economic status ;).
