my first book...
I'm such a smartass...
I can't even stop myself when I'm doing something for my kids lol.
I told my little girl that I would write her a story (since I spend a lot of time typing on the computer and I'm not sure she knows what I'm doing)
(she JUST walked in the door as I wrote that sentence and asked "Is it done yet? lol)
and it started off great... but as I go along I can't help but try to make it funny for me too. Anyway... I figured you knuckleheads would find this amusing so here is what I have so far for Chapter Three...
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.
Chelsea’s 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 bad 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.

Well... anyway... I'm off to do a rewrite that will be more suitable for my intended audience.
