Help: Cool reason why girl doesnt speak? ?(Story work)?

Im writting a fairy tale (childrens) about a young girl that dances in the village square. She is very talented, and is asked to dance for the King. When the King asks how she got so talented, she does not answer. The king then sends out a reward for anyone who can figure out why she cannot speak (She can). A young runaway prince hears about this reward for 1000 gold peices. The young prince ran away from home because his mother wouldnt let him marry who he wanted to unless he found someone she found suitable. Well, their was no one in his kingdom, so he went out elsewhere and became a theif to survive.’
Anyway, so he hears of this and is determained to figure out why the girl doesnt speak. He asks her if she even can, and she nods her head, yes. Well, he follows her home one day, where she lives with a small clan of witches who are wanted for being so. she brings home food and money from dancing. And he begins to understand why she doesnt speak to anyone. When he doesnt leave her alone, she finally starts warming up to him, but still doesnt speak.
Eventually, he finds out he loves her and she realizes that she loves him back. But she still doesnt speak. He brings her home to marry her, but his mother doesnt approve and she is thrown away in the dongeon. She dances in the cell, and the guards like how she dances, so they let her out into the court yard where she dances on chains. The mother watches, but still doesnt approve.
The King then visits her one day when the prince isnt, and asks her why she doesnt plead to leave, to go back home. She speaks the four little words he wasnt expecting. “Because I love him.” she stays because she loves him and if she goes home, she would never see the prince again. The Queen finds her to be real, and sets her free. They live happily ever after.

So if you guys could help me with the problem of WHY she doesnt speak…that would be great. And yes, she CAN speak, she just..doesnt. So its not like the witches she lives with put a spell on her or anything. Thanks, I really appreciate it guys! Oh and if you want to change anything, add anything or just criticize…I would love it. Thanks!
Forget I ever said ‘HE BEGINS TO REALIZE WHY SHE DOESNT SPEAK’ because he really doesnt. heh…oopsies! :/

Okay here is an old fairy tale to seek some moral in. will you tell me if you find one?

FAIRY TALE 2000

The precious little princess is out running with the dogs;
She’s had her share of princes, but she’s still kissing frogs.
The Queen is at her mirror, lost in vanity of reflections;
The King is on his cell-phone, making some new connections.
The throne room is in shambles, the dungeons are overfilled-
The rats never hunger, they are fed daily on fresh kill.
They gather at the gallows, preparing for the feast;
They have the royal blessing for disposing of the meat.
How fine the silks and satins spin to music as they dance,
How hypnotic the words of the bard with his talents for romance,
How generously flowing the wine and merriment.
While all of the forgotton suffer from a kingdom negligent.
Off into the forest runs the Unicorn.
His spirit is the purest, for he was never born.
The princess spies his shadow, lifts her head, then blinks and nods-
She’sbeen out chasing dragons and no one seems to find it odd.
Prince Charming brings her White Horse, rides her ’til she drops,
As she lives out a fairy tale that she only wants to STOP!

how does this fairy tale sound?

Once a time ago, in the land of Azalea, there was a fairy named Bella. She was very different from all the fairies. She was very young for a fairy; she was about 25 years old. She dressed herself in a yellow dress. Bella always had a smile on her face and she symbolized beauty, life, and strength. Most of the other fairies were full of greed. That was not a good trait at all. Every Monday all of the fairies would have a meeting. This meeting described who they would be assigned to and since Bella was a beginner she would be doing simple jobs. Bella got up out of bed and brushed her hair brushed her teeth, made her bed and took a shower, then got dressed. She ate before she left. It was a Monday night and Bella so left her house to go to the meeting. While Bella was flying there, she and got lost. She suddenly saw a stranger and asked him for his help. He said “sure I’ll help you, just follow me.’ Bella listened and followed the stranger on different paths and then he went into the woods. Who would have knew these woods held a magical spell, which allowed them to hold objects in and hold them for hours. Bella followed but suddenly got frightened of the dark. This stranger disappeared and Bella was so scared she sat in a tree. She didn’t know what to do and she was lost. There was no light anywhere! What a shame, if only she listened to her mother by not talking to strangers. She knew it was getting later and later. Four hours passed, and she heard the noises of crickets and the birds chirping. She heard bees buzzing and wolves barking. She knew the only way to get out of there was to look for an exit. She followed north until she turned right. Then she didn’t see any light, so she flew west. At last she found the light and she flew up. She flew above the trees and higher than birds could fly. She flew all the way to meeting. She saw the stranger there seated in the first row. He abused the powers he had to get her lost and confuse her. She still got an easy job; she arrived there only 15 minutes late. She was lucky this time.

Anything I should add, any other ideas?
