Rose decides she is royal when she wakes up, so she becomes the Queen of France. She seeks out Rose's mother, but no one knows where Rose is. She pricks her finger on a rose plant and goes back to her room to become Rose again. Now no one can locate the Queen of France, so Rose returns to her room. Again, she becomes Queen of France and asks Rose's mother if it would be possible for her to change places with Rose as she is weary of being queen.

“'Just how much will you miss her?' the queen asked.

‘I will miss her infinity times infinity,' said Rose's mother.

‘That is a very large amount,' said the queen.”

So the Queen of France decides that Rose is too precious to be replaced. Which, of course, she is.

Absolutely delightful tale of how much parents and their children love each other.
