Chapter 3 completed...
By The Way...
I decided not to edit the story...
I finished it later the same night I think, and she loved it. I don't think I need to post Chapters 1&2. At that point I was still trying to be serious and write a strictly childrens book.
When I read it to her, I glossed over a few pieces lol. She liked it, I liked writing it... and hopefully someone out there will get a good laugh out of it.
Needless to say... Pee-tah came to an unhappy end. Poetic justice is a b*tch lol.
Here's Ch 3... the complete version. I'll put 4 up next.
(Remember that I did write it for the kid though so it's a little sappy.)
Chapter Three
The next day was bright and sunny.
It was perfect weather
for an exciting day of adventure
at the carnival.
The family was getting ready
and Sir James had saddled his horse.
James was thirteen years old.
He had gotten his horse
when he was nine.
It wasn’t given to him though.
He had to earn money
by doing all sorts of hard work
around the castle.
Then, when he had enough money,
his father the king
had helped him shop around
until they found a good deal
on a used horse
with low mileage.
His horse’s name was piccolo.
He was a huge black horse
with a big white spot
right on his nose.
"Hurry up Kelly, we don’t want to miss anything,"
James said with a smile.
Kelly quickly climbed up on Piccolo
with her brother,
and they rode off behind the carriage
to the carnival.
Once they arrived,
they quickly got down off the horse
and followed their parents to the main entrance.
"Stay with your brother and be a good girl, Kelly,"
Said her father.
Cypress’ parents told her the same thing,
and the girls followed Sir James off into the crowd.
Meanwhile their mothers stopped
to look at some beautiful furniture for the castle
while their fathers rolled their eyes
and looked ahead impatiently
to the display of new hunting bows
at the next tent.
The young Prince and Princesses
walked through the crowd very quickly
until they reached the tent
with all the animals in cages.
They gave a quarter to the man at the door
and stepped inside to look at the lions
and tigers
and giraffes
and elephants
and dozens of other beautiful and dangerous creatures.
A strange looking young man,
who smelled very bad
and had crooked teeth,
was causing a commotion by the lions cages.
He didn’t think that lions should be kept in cages,
because he thought it was insensitive
to the lion’s feelings
and might damage their self esteem.
The young man was yelling
that he had been sent by someone
named Peter,
but when he said it,
he had a strange accent,
that made it sound
like he was saying ‘Pee-tah"
Suddenly, he leaped up onto the stage
where the lion cages stood.
He yanked out the pin
that held the door to the cages locked.
The cage doors burst open,
and just as he screamed,
in a very shrill voice,
"Be free, noble beast of the jungle!!",
The lion,
Very ungratefully,
Ate his head.
