The first point of view starts with “Since she was 16…” Since she was 16 years old. * * * * * Since she was 16 years old Inka has wanted to build a beautiful castle. She has wanted to build a beautiful castle starting when she was 16 until recently. Since she was 16 Inka has wanted to build a big, wonderful, beautiful castle. She has dreamed of living in the castle like a princess by herself. Who has dreamed of living in a castle by herself like a princess? Inka, Inka has dreamed of living in a castle by herself like a princess. What has she dreamed? Well, since she was 16 she has dreamed of living in a castle like a princess by herself.

Well one day she decided to advance towards her dream. She decided to take action. And so she did, she advanced towards her dream. In fact she endeavored to build a castle out of diamonds. She tried to build the diamond castle but it was too difficult. Diamonds are very expensive and big diamonds are very heavy. And so she stopped. Next, she asked her friends for help. She established a team of builders to help her build the castle. Every day they worked on the castle. But they didn’t build a diamond castle. They built a huge castle out of gum. But that’s not all.

Diamonds will be too expensive, of course. Diamonds are too expensive. They’re very expensive. And diamonds, big diamonds, are very heavy. So she’ll stop trying to build a diamond castle. Next she’ll ask her friends for help. She’ll establish a team of builders. They’re gonna work every day building the castle. Every day they’ll go to work. Every day they’ll work and work and work to build the castle. But they won’t build a normal castle. They won’t build a diamond castle. They’ll build a castle out of gum. They’re gonna build a huge, giant, super-big gum castle. But that’s not all. They’ll build a spaghetti foundation under the castle. The castle will have a spaghetti foundation. It’ll be a gum castle with a spaghetti foundation. Now when they finish, Inka won’t live along in the castle, no, no, no. She’s gonna invite all her friends to live with her and they will.
