Poem
The Tale of the Unexpected Prince I sat in my lonely castle room looking out of the window. The village below was a flurry of activity with peasants going about their busy day. I sighed. I am so lonely, I just want someone or something to keep me company. I longed for companionship. My parents were so busy with the demands of being the King and Queen of Sanzara. My parents had one strict rule for me. I was never to leave the castle alone. I must have a servant with me at all times. But this rule, never stopped me before. I snuck out of the dreary castle many times before. I would slip out the door and quickly lose myself in the throngs of people in the village. I would spend an entire day drinking in all the sights and smells of the tiny town. Ahh, the aroma of the village bakery and the delicious bread baking in the stone ovens! Oh, the beauty of the flowers at the flower peddler's cart. Pink, blue, red, orange, and yellow making and rainbow of beauty. I sighed and a tear slid down my cheek. I had asked my parents for a dog on many occasions. I begged them for a puppy to be my companion. There answer was always a stern “No, Ariana we have no time to tend to a dog. We are busy with other things.” I knew better than to mess with the “magic man” that lurked in the dark shadows at the edge of my kingdom, but this time I had no choice. I had gotten myself into a bit of trouble and owed money to someone who would definitely do me in if I didn’t pay him back. I couldn’t ask my parents for help. I was too ashamed for getting into this mess. My only option was to strike a deal with the “magic man.” He agreed to give me the loan, but warned me I must pay him back by the stroke of midnight on the night of the Royal Halloween Ball or I would become a victim of an unpleasant surprise. Ugh, I better have the “magic mans” money or I’m toast. I didn’t have the money. My parents cut my royal allowance and I couldn’t pay back the “magic man.” I had to attend the royal ball, there was no way out of it. I slipped out before the ball began to find the magic man. I begged him for more time. “No Prince Alexander, your time will be up at midnight”, he cried out. “Pay up or receive your punishment.” The hour of midnight approached I was dancing with a princess and the clock told twelve times. A tingling went through my body and suddenly I was looking up at everyone and had four legs and fur. Oh my gosh! I’m a dog! I ran as fast as my dog legs would carry me but I was caught and thrown into the kennel in the village of Sanzara. I was sure that I would be banished to a dog's life forever. I crept into a cramped corner of the dark and dingy kennel and fell asleep. I woke up to a beautiful day. The sun was glowing yellow in the blue morning sky and I had a plan for my day. I quickly dressed and quietly slipped out of the castle. This is it Ariana you’re going to get a puppy friend from the kennel. I made my way through the streets to the edge of the village I walked into the kennel and my eyes locked on the most handsome pup I had ever seen, he was even a royal breed, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. A little while later I smuggled him into the castle. My secret didn’t last long and my parents yelled at me for my irresponsible actions. But my parents soon fell in love with Romeo and let me keep him. Later that evening, after I got ready for bed I gave Romeo a kiss on top of his furry head and whispered how much I loved him. Romeo gave me a wet doggy kiss and we soon drifted off to dreamland. The next morning I woke to someone shaking me and franticly babbling something in my ear. My eyes flew open and there at the foot of my bed stood the most handsome young man. I told him to calm down and then he told me about the magic mans curse and about how he was turned into a dog. Not any dog, but my dog Romeo. After I kissed Romeo he tingled all over and suddenly he was prince Alexander again. All of this happened from a kiss and my declaration of love.
