"The Necklace"
by

A
long time ago a priness lived in a castle.Every day she would wait impatiently for a prince to come and see her.

One day her farther the King decided that he would no longer wait for her to get maried so he gave the princess a bag of royal food and she set off to find a prince that she adored.

A moment later she was in the woods and got amazed at the creatures who were in there they were unknown and very strange. The princess found a shell and then anouther until she found a hole collection of them. She decided that when she found her young prince who would probably come on a horse and when she gothome she would make a necklace of shells.

She travled further in until she came to a tall beautiful tower. She stared at it for hours until she decided she would go a bit further until she reached the door. When she came to the door there were two gards just standing there. When they saw her they said
"Thy let in must you shall go as you are royalty."
The princess said a quiet "Thank you" and went in as the door creaked.

Inside sat a king looking very worried.
"Why are you unhappy?" asked the princess.
"Well, my prince is very unhappy because a girl... oh, it's you!" he said cheerfuly as the princess gazed at him looking very puzzled.
"Why? What? What is it?" said the princess.
" Well my son Harry, saw you a couple of days ago through your window with that sad face and, he was very sad because he thought that I shall not let him marry you and when he came back I said "Yes" and he started sobbing because he had missed you and oh, I can't explain! Go up to him he will be very happy to see you!"

So the princess went up the stairs and into a room were the prince sat sobbing. He looked up and started laughing.
"It's you! It's you!" the prince said joyfuly.
After a while they talked and made arrangements for a wedding.

After 30 minutes they went outside and got on two horses. They went throught the forest and when they got to the princess's castle they got off the horses. But.. all of the princess's shells fell out and the horse stepped on them and they got crunched. The princess was very sad.

Suddenly the prince came up with a idea. She could but all of the pieces onto a string and it would give her a long, long necklace that she could keep as a treasure for all of her life.

When they got to the door the King had been waiting for them.
He said " The wedding shall be tomorow tonight the prince may sleep here!"

The princess nearly fainted for this news and quickly got pen and paper to start writing invitations to all her friends and relatives.

The day came the prince and the princess got them selves dressed very smartly and came down. After the pope had said all his parts they kissed and that is the story if the necklace. Well might not be because that very necklace was snipped into two parts and the brincess had one part round her neck and the prince had the other part round his neck. ANd they got them instead of wedding rings!

They are even still wearing them in their grave this very moment you read it.

The End
