King Brinjal and Queen Broccoli have conducted the election for choosing the prince of vegetables. Onion, potato, and spinach are close companions. They were surprised when they heard that the selected prince would be revealed the next day.

Onion said, "I am necessary in any cuisine or food, and everyone likes me, so I will be the prince."

Potato added, "Talking about people's favourites, I will be the first. People of any age love my taste. I'm always a kid's favourite and can be boiled, fried, roasted, or mashed to make delicious dishes, so people will vote for me."

The next day came, and everyone was eagerly waiting for the results. King Brinjal came and announced, "Spinach will be the prince of vegetables. Many people voted for spinach because of its rich source of minerals and vitamins."

On hearing this, the spinach gained confidence and gave a speech about itself. It said, "I contain large amounts of calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamins A, B, and C, and some carbohydrates, fat, magnesium, sodium, and high-quality proteins."
