There was once a distant kingdom where Princess Rosa lived. Rosa was known for her beauty and kindness, adored by all. Her love for flowers, especially white roses, was unmatched.

Rosa's garden was vast and full of white roses. She spent hours tending and admiring them, finding peace among their divine beauty. They stood tall and majestic, a reflection of her pure heart.

Word of Rosa's beauty reached a Pantanal laborer from the neighboring Aquidauana Pantanal. Overwhelmed by her tales, he desired to see her. His first glimpse of Rosa stirred feelings he hadn't experienced before.

The Pantanal laborer felt a strong attraction towards Rosa. Intrigued by her grace and kindness, he mustered the courage to propose. To his delight, Rosa accepted his proposal, struck by his simplicity and honesty.

The wedding was set for the following day. Before leaving, the laborer promised Rosa a special gift. Amid excitement and anticipation, Rosa bid him farewell, eagerly waiting for their union.

On his way back, the laborer was confronted by a red dragon. The creature's fiery breath was lethal, but the laborer managed to escape, though seriously injured and covered in blood.

Despite the pain, the laborer remembered his promise to Rosa. Near him lay a white rose. He took it and pressed it against his chest, whispering his love for Rosa and what the rose represented.

He staggered back to the kingdom, clutching the white rose stained with his blood. His return stirred the kingdom as news of his encounter with the dragon spread. Despite his condition, his thoughts were only of Rosa.

Rosa rushed to his side upon hearing the news. She gasped at his injuries and wept, but the laborer calmed her. He presented her the blood-stained rose, explaining its significance.

Rosa understood the depth of his love. The rose, no longer white, was now a vivid red, signifying his sacrifice and their love. She vowed to honor this symbol, creating a legend in their kingdom.

The laborer's health improved under Rosa's care. The couple got married amidst grand celebrations. The red rose became a symbol of their love, a token of a Pantanal laborer's sacrifice and a princess's pledge.

Rosa planted the red rose in her garden. Over time, more red roses bloomed, painting the once all-white garden with swathes of red. The legend of the red rose spread across other domains, signifying undying love.

As the years went by, Rosa and the laborer lived a joyful life, their love as vibrant as the ever-blooming red roses. The legend of their love lived on, serving as a beacon of hope and love for all.

Today, red roses are cherished worldwide as a symbol of deep affection and love. They remind us of the Pantanal laborer's promise, and Princess Rosa's unwavering love, the true legend of the red rose.

So, on every Valentine's Day, when the world celebrates love, remember the tale of Princess Rosa and the Pantanal laborer. The legend of the red rose is a testament to their love, the greatest love story ever told.
