Prince William

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Prince William. Prince William was bored
so he decided to take a walk through the Magical Forrest. The Magical Forrest was a special place
where all the trees and leaves talked. Prince William had enjoyed many afternoons laughing and
talking with the leaves. Today was no different; as soon as he entered the Forrest he was sucked
into a joke.
"Knock, knock!"
"Who's there?"
"Leaf!"
"Leaf who?"
"Leaf me alone I'm treeing to sleep!"
Prince William joined in with the laughing leaves but off in the distance he heard a
whisper. He left the pile of laughing leaves and followed the whisper through the woods. He ran
into a tree that had something important to say. The tree was old and hard to understand but
the old tree told Prince William that King Daddy was missing.
Prince William was so worried about King Daddy that he immediately left the old tree and
forgot all about the laughing leaves. He started looking everywhere he could think for King
Daddy but had no luck. Soon enough Prince William had run into another little boy, it was Prince
Riley. The two princes' were brothers so Prince William told Prince Riley all about how Kind
Daddy was missing. Just like Prince William, Prince Riley was just as concerned and he left the
tree he was climbing to help.
The two prince's looked everywhere for king Daddy. They looked high; all the way up in
the trees branches. They looked low, way low in the grass and dirt. They looked in things like
holes and the water in the pond. They looked everywhere they could think and they were getting
exhausted. Prince William had come up with a brilliant plan to go back and ask the old tree if he
had any other information.
The two Princes wasted no time and raced off to find the old tree. Dodging branches and
jumping rocks they managed to find the old tree in no time at all. Out of breath, both Prince
William and Prince Riley tried to explain to the tree that they needed help. While the tree was old
he was very wise and knew what the boys wanted. The tree waved his branches starting a breeze
to cool the two prince's down. Once the two were calm the old tree started to tell the story of
how he knew King Daddy was missing.
"Early this morning I saw King Daddy walking through the leaf piles talking with all the
leaves. I heard one of the leaves give King Daddy a riddle about the magical cabin at the end of
the Forrest. The Magical cabin is full of silly tying rope."
So as the old tree finished his story the boys calmly thanked the old tree and raced to the
end of the Forrest. Just like the old tree said they found the magical cabin. Inside the magical
cabin they found King Daddy tied up with rope on the floor. The Two princes' did not hesitate;
they pulled out their swords, cut the ropes, and saved the day!

Jack and the beanstalk

Once upon a time there was a poor widow who had an only son named Jack. They were
so poor that they didnt have anything except a cow. When the cow had grown too old, his
mother sent Jack to the market to sell it. On the way to the market, Jack met a butcher who had
some beautiful beans in his hand. The butcher told the boy that the beans were of great value
and persuaded the silly fad to sell the cow for the beans.
Jack brought them happily. When he told his mother about this, his mother became so
angry that she threw the beans out of the window.
When Jack woke up in the morning, he felt the sun shining into a part of his room but all
the rest was quite dark and shady.
So he jumped to the window. What did he see? The beanstalk grew up quite close past
Jacks window. He opened the window and jumped to the beanstalk which ran up just like a big
ladder.
He climbed and climbed till at last he reached the sky. While looking around, he saw a
very huge castle. He was very amazed.
Then Jack walked along the path leading to the castle. There was a big tall woman on the
doorstep. Jack greeted her and asked for the giantess mercy to give him breakfast, because he
felt very hungry. Although the giantess grumbled at first, finally she gave Jack a hunk of bread
and cheese and a jug of milk.
