Once Upon a Time ...

(The names and facts of this story have been fudged slightly for

literary impact :)

Once upon a time there was a Princess named Larkin who had been sick and had to stay inside for so many days that her toes and her nose were starting to grow moss. She began to climb the bookshelves and the furniture looking for a way to get outside into the sunshine where she could run so fast that moss couldn't grow on her toes ever again ...

So the King and Queen decided to go on a long voyage to a far away land ... Fairy Tale Town ...

A magical land where giant shoes turn into slides and where the little Princess could run and climb and twirl until all the moss that grew on her toes was left far behind. The little Princess smelled so many flowers that she forgot the yucky smell of moss that used to cling to her nose and she couldn't even remember how sick she used to feel ...

Everyone was happy!

The King and the Queen and the Princess walked and walked and walked, and pretended, and played, and paused for a magical ride on a pumpkin ...

By the end of the day the Princess was pooped! The King and the Queen and the Princess made the long voyage home where she promised not to climb the bookshelves and the furniture any more ... well at least until her toes start to grow moss again. That night, everyone in the kingdom slept happily ever after!
