Are They Princesses

Are they princesses? The little girls asked the orchard master.
He knew they were not, but they wanted them to be, so he nodded.
They were actually his daughters, Jessica and Joyce, age fifteen.

So, he replied “They are painting the apples red.”
They nodded in an excited way, understanding fully.
