1. The Prince and the Pea
By.Audrey Dunlap
Once upon a time, in a castle that sat on a high hill, there lived a king, a
queen,and a princess named Katherine. Because the castle was so hard to reach, the
family never had any visitors, so Katherine was lonely....... very lonely.
The queen decided that Katherine should find a man. that certainly would cure her
loneliness.But the queen didn't want her to marry just anybody...... he had to be a
real prince. So Katherine set out to find a real prince for a husband.. She traveled
the world and met princes of every shape and size.But although they were real
princes, there was something missing. Katherine returned home, sad and
discouraged that she could not find a groom.
One night, the sky filled with clouds and rain poured onto the castle on the
mountain. The lightning cracked and the thunder roared. Inside the castle, the king,
the queen and Katherine sat by the fire drinking tea...... when there came a knock at
the door.Katherine went to the big wooden door and slowly opened it. There,
standing in the pouring rain, was a boy,and he was soaking wet.
Katherine asked the boy his name, but before he could he could answer, he
fainted. Katherine carried the boy to the fire and wrapped him carefully in blankets
to warm him. Lighting flashed and thunder boomed outside. Suddenly the boy
opened his eyes. Both the queen and the Katherine had so many questions to ask
the boy, but the king wisely answered that he was to tired to answer them that
night. She ordered a servant to take the boy to the guest room and give him dry
clothes to wear. Katherine went to sleep wandering what the next day would bring.
He knew one thing for certain...... she could hardly wait to see the boy again. The
next morning was sunny and beautiful.
Katherine was elated to see that the boy was feeling much better. And when she
asked his name, he said it was Dudly.
Katherine and Dudly walked and talked together in the garden all day.Dudly
discribed everything they saw in such a beautiful way. A bird was a fairy
messenger,a mountain was n enchanted giant. He made Katherine see things
differently...... and she liked it.
