"The Backwards Fairy Tale"
by
Amelia

N ow you've all heard of the story 'Cinderella'. Or the one about the apple and the dwarfs? 'Snow White', is it? Well I bet you haven't heard the one about Prince Kirk, a handsome prince who ruled over Sdeer Gnirps. He was locked in a castle where he didn't ant to be. He wanted roller coasters and cotton candy. But most of all, he wanted a pretty girl to sweep him off his feet. One day, Kirk decided to get a pet.
"Can I have a dog or a puppy? There so cute and strong!" He asked his parents. There reply? No.
"Can I have a cat, there very sweet and cuddly." He said. Again, a no.
"What about a-"
"NO!!!" His parents yelled. All he could get was a toad. Not even a frog! A toad!
"Gross! A toad?" He whined.
"Toads are so boring. What about a bunny? A snake? A big, fuzzy spider?" He begged. But all he could get was a toad.
The next day, he went into the forest with a cage in search of a pretty toad. Every toad he came upon wasn't good enough. Finally, he sat down on a rock to rest and eat lunch. He pulled a sandwich out of his pouch and bit into the refreshing peanut butter ad banana combination. When he finished,a handsome toad jumped on his knee and croaked.
"Ribbit. Riiiiibit!" He said. Kirk decided to keep this toad. He put 'Kandy' in her cage and skipped back to his house.
When he reached the stairs to his lovely abode, he accidentally tripped on a loose stepping stone. He landed on top of his not dead pet and kissed her for no apparent reason. And before you could say dragon eater, a beautiful princess stood before him. Do I need to say more?
