Fairy Tale
by Roseydosey
Once upon a time there was a sweet child called Y/N L/N. Their was on the way to see his Big brother, Simon Randall, when they decided to take a short cut through Yuckylake Woods.
It wasn't long before Y/N got lost. They looked around, but all they could see were trees. Nervously, they felt into their bag for their favourite toy, Mr Teddy, but Mr Teddy was nowhere to be found! Y/N began to panic. They felt sure they had packed Mr Teddy. To make matters worse, they was starting to feel hungry.
U
nexpectedly, they saw a grey snake dressed in a Blue tux, disappearing into the trees.
"How odd!" thought Y/N.
For the want of anything better to do, they decided to follow the peculiarly dressed snake. Perhaps it could tell them the way out of the forest.
Eventually, Y/N reached a clearing. They found himself surrounded by houses made from different sorts of food. There was a house made from Potato, a house made from lollipops, a house made from candy, a house made from muffins, a house made from cupcake and a house made from cookies.
Y/N could feel their tummy rumbling. Looking at the houses did nothing to ease their hunger.
"Hello!" They called. "Is anybody there?"
Nobody replied.
Y/N looked at the roof on the closest house and wondered if it would be rude to eat somebody else's chimney. Obviously it would be impolite to eat a whole house, but perhaps it would be considered acceptable to nibble the odd fixture or lick the odd fitting, in a time of need.
A cackle broke through the air, giving Y/N a fright. A witch jumped into the space in front of the houses. She was carrying a cage. In that cage was Mr Teddy!
"Mr Teddy!" shouted Y/N. They turned to the witch. "That's my toy!"
The witch just shrugged.
"Give Mr Teddy back!" cried Y/N.
"Not on your nelly!" said the witch.
"At least let Mr Teddy out of that cage!"
Before she could reply, five grey snakes rushed in from a footpath on the other side of the clearing. Y/N recognised the one in the Blue tux that they'd seen earlier. The witch seemed to recognise them too.
"Hello Big Snake," said the witch.
"Good morning." The snake noticed Mr Teddy. "Who is this?"
"That's Mr Teddy," explained the witch.
"Ooh! Mr Teddy would look lovely in my house. Give it to me!" demanded the snake.
The witch shook her head. "Mr Teddy is staying with me."
"Um... Excuse me..." Y/N interrupted. "Mr Teddy lives with me! And not in a cage!"
Big Snake ignored them. "Is there nothing you'll trade?" he asked the witch.
The witch thought for a moment, then said, "I do like to be entertained. I'll release him to anybody who can eat a whole front door."
Big Snake looked at the house made from chips and said, "No problem, I could eat an entire house made from chips if I wanted to."
"That's nothing," said the next snake. "I could eat two houses."
"There's no need to show off," said the witch. Just eat one front door and I'll let you have Mr Teddy."
Y/N watched, feeling very worried. He didn't want the witch to give Mr Teddy to Big Snake. He didn't think Mr Teddy would like living with a grey snake, away from his house and all his other toys.
The other four snakes watched while Big Snake put on his bib and withdrew a knife and fork from his pocket.
"I'll eat this whole house," said Big Snake. "Just you watch!"
Big Snake pulled off a corner of the front door of the house made from lollipops. He gulped it down smiling, and went back for more.
And more.
And more.
Eventually, Big Snake started to get bigger - just a little bit bigger at first. But after a few more fork-fulls of lollipops, he grew to the size of a large snowball - and he was every bit as round.
"Erm... I don't feel too good," said Big Snake.
Suddenly, he started to roll. He'd grown so round that he could no longer balance!
"Help!" he cried, as he rolled off down a slope into the forest.
Big Snake never finished eating the front door made from lollipops and Mr Teddy remained trapped in the witch's cage.
Average Snake stepped up, and approached the house made from candy.
"I'll eat this whole house," said Average Snake. "Just you watch!"
Average Snake pulled off a corner of the front door of the house made from chocolates. She gulped it down smiling, and went back for more.
And more.
And more.
After a while, Average Snake started to look a little queasy. She grew greener...
...and greener.
A woodcutter walked into the clearing. "What's this bush doing here?" he asked.
"I'm not a bush, I'm a snake!" said Average Snake.
"It talks!" exclaimed the woodcutter. "Those talking bushes are the worst kind. I'd better take it away before somebody gets hurt."
"No! Wait!" cried Average Snake, as the woodcutter picked her up. But the woodcutter ignored her cries and carried the snake away under his arm.
Average Snake never finished eating the front door made from candy and Mr Teddy remained trapped in the witch's cage.
Little Snake stepped up, and approached the house made from muffins.
"I'll eat this whole house," said Little Snake. "Just you watch!"
Little Snake pulled off a corner of the front door of the house made from muffins. He gulped it down smiling, and went back for more.
And more.
And more.
After five or six platefuls, Little Snake started to fidget uncomfortably on the spot.
He stopped eating muffins for a moment, then grabbed another forkful.
But before he could eat it, there came an almighty roar. A bottom burp louder than a rocket taking off, propelled Little Snake into the sky.
"Aggghhhhhh!" cried Little Snake. "I'm scared of heigh..."
Little Snake was never seen again.
Little Snake never finished eating the front door made from muffins and Mr Teddy remained trapped in the witch's cage.
Tiny Snake stepped up, and approached the house made from cupcakes.
"I'll eat this whole house," said Tiny Snake. "Just you watch!"
Tiny Snake pulled off a corner of the front door of the house made from cupcakes. She gulped it down smiling, and went back for more.
And more.
And more.
However, on the next mouthful, the food fell straight out of Tiny Snake's mouth. She tried to stuff in another handful of cupcakes, but once again, the food fell out. There just wasn't enough room left in her belly.
"This is just not fair!" declared Tiny Snake, and stomped off into the forest.
Tiny Snake never finished eating the front door made from cupcakes Mr Teddy remained trapped in the witch's cage.
Even-Tinier Snake stepped up, and approached the house made from cookies.
"I'll eat this whole house," said Even-Tinier Snake. "Just you watch!"
Even-Tinier Snake pulled off a corner of the front door of the house made from cookies. He gulped it down smiling, and went back for more.
And more.
And more.
Suddenly, Even-Tinier Snake stopped eating and started dancing. While he danced, he sang at the top of his lungs, "Cookies! Watch me eat all the cookies!"
"It looks as though the cookies are making you hyperactive," laughed the witch.
"Oh no they're not!" cried Even-Tinier Snake. "I'm always this excited." With that, he walked into a tree.
Bong!
Even-Tinier Snake banged his head and fell backwards onto his bottom. He passed out, exhausted.
Even-Tinier Snake never finished eating the front door made from cookies and Mr Teddy remained trapped in the witch's cage.
"That's it," said the witch. "I win. I get to keep Mr Teddy."
"Not so fast," said Y/N. "There is still one front door to go. The front door of the house made from Potato. And I haven't had a turn yet.
"I don't have to give you a turn!" laughed the witch. "My game. My rules."
The woodcutter's voice carried through the forest. "I think you should give him a chance. It's only fair."
"Fine," said the witch. "But you saw what happened to the snakes. He won't last long."
"I'll be right back," said Y/N.
"What?" said the witch. "Where's your sense of impatience? I thought you wanted Mr Teddy back."
Y/N ignored the witch and gathered a hefty pile of sticks. They came back to the clearing and started a small camp fire. Carefully, they broke off a piece of the door of the house made from Potato and toasted it over the fire. Once it had cooked and cooled just a little, they took a bite. They quickly devoured the whole piece.
Y/N sat down on a nearby log.
"You fail!" cackled the witch. "You were supposed to eat the whole door."
"I haven't finished," explained Y/N. "I am just waiting for my food to go down."
When Y/N's food had digested, they broke off another piece of the door made from Potato. Once more, they toasted his food over the fire and waited for it to cool just a little. They ate it at a leisurely pace then waited for it to digest.
Eventually, after several sittings, Y/N was down to the final piece of the door made from Potato. Carefully, they toasted it and allowed it to cool just a little. He finished his final course. Y/N had eaten the entire front door of the house made from Potato.
The witch stamped her foot angrily. "You must have tricked me!" she said. "I don't reward cheating!"
"I don't think so!" said a voice. It was the woodcutter. He walked back into the clearing, carrying his axe. "This little child won fair and square. Now hand over Mr Teddy or I will chop your broomstick in half."
The witch looked horrified. She grabbed her broomstick and placed it behind her. Then, huffing, she opened the door of the cage.
Y/N hurried over and grabbed Mr Teddy, checking that their favourite toy was all right. Fortunately, Mr Teddy was unharmed.
Y/N thanked the woodcutter, grabbed a quick souvenir, and hurried on to meet Simon. It was starting to get dark.
When Y/N got to Simon's house, his big brother threw his arms around them.
"I was so worried!" cried Simon. "You are very late."
As Y/N described their day, they could tell that Simon didn't believe them. So they grabbed a napkin from their pocket.
"What's that?" asked Simon.
Y/N unwrapped a doorknob made from lollipops. "Pudding!" They said.
Simon almost fell off his chair.
