The young prince loved to learn and help others. During a trip in disguise to the city, he saw poverty, suffering, and inequality. This led him to implement reforms like founding an international committee to address social issues and establishing free bananas for children to improve people's lives. Over time, through cooperation and prioritizing the needs of all, suffering was reduced and happiness increased in the kingdom.

2. Once upon a time in a
faraway planet there was
a young prince, the prince
liked to learn and he was
always considerate and
kind to everyone.
The prince was a healthy
and happy boy whom
most then anything he
loved to eat bananas.

3. Every weekend they had a
festival in the palace whereas
the best performers, dancers
and singers arrived from all
around the kingdom and
competed.
The winner received fruits and
other valuable rewards as a
price.

4. The prince wanted to know
what life was like for
people who lived outside
the palace walls.
So he went with his
attendants to the city
dressed as a banana
merchant.
The prince saw an old, a
sick man, a funeral, poor
kids and stray animals in
dirty streets.

5. The prince thought deeply
about what he saw around
him.
He learned that although he
was happy, there was a lot of
suffering in life. So he felt
deep sympathy for all
creatures.

6. The prince got to be known
as the Banana Smile
merchant boy, as for his
kindness, placing a banana in
front of his face as a smile
before handing free bananas
to all. “Did you know that
bananas are always wearing
a smile, so why don’t we all
wear a smile?” he used to
ask in enjoyment.

7. Because he was a prince his life
was very easy, and he could have
chosen to ignore the problems
of others. But he felt sympathy
for others. He knew that all
creatures, including people,
animals and all other living
beings, like to be happy and
don't like suffering and pain.

8. Every day, when they returned to the
palace, the prince kept on thinking
about what he had seen.

9. After finishing a delicious banana
ice cream desert, the prince
demanded the king and his
advisors for answers to the many
questions he now had, like how
come that we don’t do much to
help others that have so much
suffer but neither the king, not
his advisors provided the young
prince with a clear plan.

10. So he made a strong decision
to find a way to make sure that
other kids get good education,
the town to be as clean as the
palace and the animals to be
treated right. Also, to help all
those suffer of old age,
sickness and death.

11. Finally, he came up with a solution. In the day of the
festival he went to the city center and got on the
stage, calling all: "Dear brothers and sisters! I have
found a way to end suffering. As we all know, all
humans wish for two things:

12. Be Happy & be Healthy.

13. One day the banana smiled at me so I
had an idea, we can all vote for what we
care the most! Yes, vote not for people
but for the things we care the most!

14. But each of us likes a different ice
cream flavor …and each of us has
something different in the heart!

15. As five fingers in one hand,
five royal board members
together with a group from
our best performers, each
will represent a cause to care
first. Likewise we will solve
our entire challenges one
after the other.

16. The winners, to receive
most of your votes, will get
valuable rewards as a price
as to better deal with the
challenge. Yes, if we will
cooperate we can all enjoy
better lives. You must take
responsibility to
understand these truths."

17. At first, he saw that the origin of suffering is
being greedy, which arises from thinking that
we are more important than everybody else;
also, the people doubted his words. They asked
him many questions but finally they began to
trust him and wanted to hear his teaching.

18. They felt proud to be part of a campaign
whereas they vote for a specific cause of
their choice rather than voting for people.
Nevertheless, everybody cooperated, just
as you eat a banana, one bite after the
other.

19. Some of the changes the prince made are:

20. The first change the prince
made in his planet was to
offer a free banana each
day for every kindergarten
child.

21. Then he had founded The International
Altruistic committee and selected its
board members as to manage the write-
up of The International Altruistic index.

22. The prince managed to solve many of the planet challenges, and
he saw that good deeds lead the way, from suffering to peace
and they all lived happily ever after.
