Let them eat cake

I think this queen was the worst of all, was a very frivolous person , didn’t make anything

for poor people and instead of helping them , try to ashamed the town because she have all

she want and they do not , and didn’t care about what people was suffering she just care

about all the things she have to wear and all the money she want to spend , didn’t think in a

way of using the money instead not being her and to benefit others, was so miserly , and a

stingy queen and the worst part that she was not born in that country .
