A Fairy Tale For Children

A FAIRY TALE FOR CHILDREN

Once upon a time, long, long ago
In the land where your Dad once lived
There came a woman of great beauty
She was wandering along the roadside

Your Dad was watching from the shadows
She didn't know there was anyone around
He watched her closely as she stopped
She picked a handful of flowers

She continued to walk down the road
As your Dad watched her he had an idea
Why don't I introduce myself to her?
He quietly walked through the woods

When he reached the spot he had chosen
He stepped out onto the road
The lady was startled at his appearance
But she didn't seem at all frightened

Your Dad introduced himself to her 
He invited her to come to church
She accepted his invitation
Do you know who that lady was?

Yes, Tommy, it was none other than your Mom
Now, she and your Dad have all of you children
And you all live happily in the little town
And life is wonderful!

CayCay Godwin February 21, 2019 at 1:50 PM I enjoyed reading this very much. You 'did good', and then some. Most children are enthralled by Mom and Dad stories. Good luck in the contest and all else.

Sandra Haight February 3, 2019 at 6:26 PM Oh, what a lovely children's fairy tale that turns out to be a true story about their Mom and Dad! Love how you addressed this theme, Curtis! Best wishes for the contest. Sandra :) Curtis Moorman February 4, 2019 at 6:41 AM Thank you, Sandra! As a man with 9 grandchildren, I find it easy to gather them around and tell them stories, real or imagined, and watch the looks on their faces throughout. I always end my stories on a happy note and see smiles or laughter at the ending.
