Poem
Once upon a time in a town named Grumpy Dumpy lived a little princess named Deborah. Now Deborah was the most dumpy grumpy that ever lived in this town and in order to keep this depressed princess happy everyone around her also had to be sad and in the dumps. One day a tall young handsome prince came through the town of Grumpy Dumpy and made a decree. He said that he wanted to meet all the fair maidens and take one for a bride. The only stipulation was that the bride had to be the happiest girl in the city and immediately Deborah knew she was in for a challenge. Deborah hired tutors and more tutors to teach her all about happiness, but she just couldn’t grasp why anyone would want to be anything less than a grump-a-grump. She purchased every book on happiness and even took happy pills. It seemed the harder she tried to learn about happiness the worse her predicament became. Then one day another person traveled through her town. His name was Thomas the Changer and he offered Princess Deborah a new start. He offered her a new beginning and a clean heart. She took Thomas the Changer up on this offer to give her a royal makeover. She did everything that he asked her to do and she even read his book on eternal happiness to help her get a clue. Within just a few short weeks Princess Deborah was a new creature. She was a new princess and her life was indeed a new life. What is the moral to this story you might ask? The moral to this quaint little children’s story is that it is a bad idea to live in a grumpy state. You may miss out on the man of your dreams also known as Prince Charming. The other moral to this story is if you are going to turn your life around, you don’t need fancy books, happy pills, or others to get the job done. Go to the expert, Jesus Christ, and he will see you through any obstacle. He is the One True God and he cares for you! Written by Gwendolen Rix 11-4-14 For Carol Eastman’s contest-Fable to the Rescue
