FAIRY TALES I

THE LITTLE PRINCESS

Once upon a time there was a man who got lost in the mountains

But why was he even there in the first place you ask?

Well he didn't even know himself

He woke up without memory

As he kept taking another step his stomach growled then when he found a fruit tree he was glad to find that he could satisfy his hunger

But as soon as he reached for a fruit it seemed like the tree grew

He couldn't understand how that was possible

You see this tree wasn't just a tree it was infused in magic

It's roots sent a message that someone was near

Suddenly we're the man was a hole appeared

He slid down, down, down, way down that he almost thought it wouldn't end

He came to a sudden stop and bumped his head against a giant fruit

As he got up he looked around the place

Everything around him seemed to be bigger than he

His stomach made a loud sound like a growling tiger then suddenly as he was about to take a bite of the fruit something came bouncing off of the fruits

He almost didn't see it but heard it

When the thing stopped before him lots of lights sparkled around it

Then when it spoke the lights glimmered and fused away

Before him was a little girl

But unlike other little girls she had a pink star on her forehead

He thought what is a child doing in such a place...

She then asked him who he was? And what brought him to that place?

He didn't even know how to respond he couldn't remember -a thing

She then grabbed his hand and told him to follow her

She lead him to her home

When they got inside he was amazed at everything that was in the home

It looked like any other home but he knew there was more to that than anyone would think

After seeing the giant fruits he could expect anything

His stomach let out another growl and the little girl jumped

She had never heard anything like it

Then he couldn't contain his surprise at her action and she then came closer to him and poked his stomach

She asked why he had an animal inside him

He laughed and then told her it was only hunger

She was surprised now and left quickly

She came back with a bowl of what looked like stew

Hunger was turning to starvation so why would he deny a bowl of food

As he took his first spoonful he found that it was nothing like the food his ever tasted it had a taste of chunks of different meats with different tastes of vegetables

And it only had two different things something that looked orange and another that was green

What kind of food was this he thought

He kept eating until he got to the end of the bowl

She took the bowl and asked him if he wanted more

He was a little embarrassed to ask for seconds

She took his silence as a, yes

This time she brought out a few blue buns

He wasn't sure if he should try them but like the other thing he tried he gave it a try

He ripped a piece of what looked like bread and ate it

To say he almost said, no

The color wasn't how it tasted

It tasted like a fancy cake you would pay a lot for

The little girl laughed and asked him why he looked afraid to take that first bite

He was embarrassed now

He didn't know how to respond

He then said, I thought that it would have a bad taste

She looked at him and said, 'then, what does it taste like'

He responded that it tasted better than what he expected

She was happy and asked him once again if he was hungry

This time he said, no

He was full, now

Then after he finished saying what he was saying he saw a woman

She was beautiful he almost couldn't keep his eyes away

She spoke

And asked him who he was and what he was doing there?

He couldn't respond

He looked at her then to the little girl and couldn't say a word

The woman came closer and lifted her hand towards his forehead and a beam of light sparkled on his forehead

He didn't know if he should move so he stood still

The woman found that he was cheated by his friends and left for dead

They didn't want to share what they won

He was with the wrong people

She didn't know if she should tell him or keep him from knowing the truth but he had to know just in case he met those friends again

She told him what she saw and he knew that she spoke the truth

He felt ashamed but knew that he now could start off better

He then asked the woman where her husband was and if they were there alone

She told him how her husband would be back before night fall and that there were others

He looked at the little girl and couldn't help but ask the woman why the little girl had a pink star on her forehead

The woman was about to respond but the little girl said, I am a princess

The man looked at them in surprise and felt like he should bow low

Before he could the woman told him there was no need that it was good to feel ordinary

The woman asked him if he wanted to stay there

He was glad to be offered a place even when they knew his past
