There was once a princess who loved all the fruits of the world
blue ones yellow ones orange ones purple ones black ones and especially red ones.
She knew that red was for love so she wanted to fill up on as many red things as she could find
Her search took her to a secret garden with an orchard in it, so many treats to collect, today was her lucky day for all the fruit was red!!
She pulled her yellow carriage along side an apple tree and picked to her hearts delight, so much redness, so much love, but how was she to consume all these red things before they spoilt??
she would surely have a stomach ache or something worse!!!
Ohh dear...what to do???
Hmmm "if I pick apples that are red and green then I will only have to eat the red part, so thats only half of each apple"!! hurrah what a solution she had come to!
So the princess munched through her carriage of red bits and left tattered bitten apples all about.
She kept walking in the garden, leaving a trail and with tattered apple in hand she came to a jetty...
there she found a wise eel awaiting his next feed
"please little princess, drop in some food to me,
there is cat bikkies in the jar on the bench"....
"Cat Bikkies!!! you silly eel, wouldnt you rather eat my fingers, here we go, they look like little pink sausages!!! ohh so yummy!!" said the silly princess...
"come on...come on.."
with that the eel swooped towards the silly girls fingers to have a tasty treat indeed!.... but just then, to her rescue came the princess's loyal dog Pipi, forever her protecter!! "be gone evil eel!, go eat your bikkies!"
and the dog chased the eel away...
Hurray for pipi!
"look my princess" said Pipi " I have found a wonderful flower for you, so pretty and sweet just like you" "princess"??? "princess"???
but the princess only cared for danger and didnt like flowers at all, "come back eel...I have a present for you"...."instead of cat bikkies I have an actual cat for you to feast on!!!"
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!
Just then she was scooped up into the air by her father the king
"what are you up to naughty princess, I saw you teasing the eel"
"I will throw you into the clouds where you can sit and watch us all have cakes and tea because everyone else has been good and you have been rascally!"
"No dad please I love cakes and tea, please let me stay for the party"
I promise to be a good girl and keep away from danger from now on....
"but could you throw me just a few more times "
I cant give up my pleasures quite that easily!!!"
So the king and princess played and played till the poor kings arms were sore.
Do you think she kept away from danger after that day???
No way!!! Danger is her middle name!
and so is rascal and darling and sweetie and cheeky and grumpy and happy and sookie and smartie and........
cakes and tea for every one
Thanks for reading my tale
have a wonderfully rascally day
