Story Time: The lonely Little Princess

Long ago on the top of a mountain that was above the town

In a mansion is where a princess lived who had a crown

Her parents the Queen and King over the town they ruled over it
They kept the people happy with many of things but mostly food so they would be fit

Now the princess was six and had never left the mountain at any time at all

She played with the cook and maids her parents were often gone to some fancy Ball

Many times she would sneak to the edge of the mountain just to look down

At all the House's but mostly she watched the kids play in the small town

Always hoping when she got older that maybe some day

That her parents would let her go to town so with the kids she could play

She had everything that money could buy

But her parents were gone so much it made her cry
She had lots of animals all around but her favorite was her little pony
Some days she rode far from home but still the little girl felt so lonely
One sunny morning she got on her pony and down the hill they did ride
This day she was brave she went through the gates and went outside

She was having so much fun she did not see a very big stone

Her pony tripped and all of a sudden she was thrown to the ground

The pony ran back up the hill she could not move her leg it hurt so bad

She was crying and wishing now that opening the gate she never had
In the distance all she could hear were the sounds of many a sheep
After awhile from the pain and crying she soon fell fast asleep

When she awoke she was not in the bed where she was always sleeping
She was afraid until she saw the children in the door as they were peeking

Seeing the children made her not afraid her leg hurt no more someone had wrapped it up

They children ran in asking so many questions when up on the bed jumped a little pup

Very quite she was to them because with kids she had never got to play

She now must think of something to say

A thought came to say she could not remember anything so with this family she could stay for a while

She had been lonely for such a long time just listening to the kids gave her face a big smile

The parents ask her from where she came and if she felt better she nodded and said yes

She also thanked them for helping them get out of her horrible mess

Then a dreaded question the parents asked could she remember her last name

To lie she knew was wrong but she wanted to stay she said she did not know from where she had came

Her parents had told her they would be gone longer this time the friends they were visiting lived far away

So they would not miss her and the truth she would tell soon all she wanted was with the children to play
She really loved this family and the kids so she decided to stay a very long time

The children to her to school and she learned new games and even a new nursery rhyme

The time flew by fast she was having such fun now summer was almost over somehow

She had started to miss her very own home she must tell the truth to them now

They all ate together at a large table in a tiny little room

She told them the truth and ask them to please take her home soon

The got up early the next day and got in the wagon and off they did go

Father drove fast because it was so cold and he was afraid that it may snow.
He knew they could not stop or could not be late
Because when it was dark the the guards would lock up the gate

Now that the parents knew she belonged to the King and the Queen

They were hoping to themselves that to their family they would not be mean

The parents would tell them in the woods father did find her and would explain
The little Princess had told them she knew not where her home was or could not remember her name
Father drove so very fast to the top of the mountain they made it they were not to late

They were amazed as they were passing through at how huge was this golden gate
