This is a story about a princess and a monster.
A long long ago,a king had a very beautiful daughter.
The king wanted to marry his daughter to the prince of the neighbouring castle.but the princess didn’t like to be a queen.
She argued with her father.So the king put the princess in a cubicle.She was very sad.
One day,a dragon flew over the castle,and the princess had been stolen.The king burst into anger.
He found some people who said they had a silver bullet can save the princess.
The king promised if the monster’s head will roll,the princess will marry the bravest hero.Every body knew it was a gravy train.So all of those people left for the dragon’s tower.
The tower was in the forest. Princess could do everything she wants to do. The monster always did a brain dump to make princess happy.He thought only the best guy could marry the princess.
Soon the first man arrived at dragon’s tower. The princess said:”He is a rich man,if I marry him,I will have much money.”But the monster didn’t agree:”No,he is a bean counter,he will not give money to you.”So he drove away the rich man.
The second man also arrived.The princess said:”He is very clever,if I marry him,he can tell me some interesting things.”The monster shook his head and said:”But he is a geek. He always thinking outside the box ,you can’t really understand him.”So he drove away the clever man.
The third man is the prince of the neighbouring castle.The monster sighed and said:”I heard through the grapevine,he is a good guy,maybe I can’t defeat him,and he also love you,you should marry him.”
But the princess cried:”I don’t want to be a queen in the castle.”
The monster couldn’t keep his cool,he said:”Okay,I will defeat him!”
Finally,the monster won,but hurt badly.The princess kept crying.
The monster lost in the sauce,he said quickly:”Don’t worry!I’ve already got our ducks in a row!”
The princess cried and laughed at the same time:”talk turky, you are the most silly dragon I’ve ever seen.I just don’t want you to get hurt.And...I love you,I don’t want to marry other people.”
The monster smiled and said:”Alright,ache exchange for my love,it is get very big bang for the buck.”
In the end,the princess didn’t get together with the handsome prince,but she found her true love,Mr.Monster.
