Castles and Princesses

This story begins in a land far far away.  About a princess named Giselle. Giselle was a beautiful and sweet princess.  Everyone loved her dearly. Her sisters name is Cindy.  Cindy is just the opposite of princess Giselle.  She is not so beautiful and sweet.  In fact Cindy is bitter and selfish.  She only thinks of herself. Giselle thinks more of others than herself.  This is true of what the Bible says to love your neighbor as you love yourself.  Every day the sisters would always do their morning chores around the castle.  Cindy would grumble at sweeping the floors and making the beds.  Giselle would sing and smile while setting the table and preparing the daily meals. 

         As the sisters were doing their daily chores, a messenger from the village gave them a letter indicating a costume party at Prince Edwards castle. Giselle and Cindy couldn’t wait to read the letter and go to the party.  Giselle started to make her costume.  Her favorite color is purple.  Cindy also wanted to make her costume too.  She liked the color black.  Giselle wanted to go as a beautiful butterfly. Cindy wanted to go as a vampire. The costume party is going to begin a month from now.  They both had enough time to make their costumes.  As Giselle was making her butterfly costume, Cindy began to get into mischief.  She threw paint on Giselle’s costume. Giselle just went on making her costume.  Cindy couldn’t understand, “Why didn’t Giselle get angry?”.  I threw paint on her dress. “I want Giselle to get angry, Cindy said.” Giselle still went about making her costume.

         Giselle said, “I can’t wait until this costume is finished for the costume party.” “Prince Edward will be so pleased to notice my butterfly costume.”  Cindy was trying to finish up her costume too.  “There this vampire costume will be just perfect for the Prince to notice me instead of sweet  and beautiful Giselle.” A month has passed, and now the costume party at Prince Edward's castle will start today.

         The two princesses,  Giselle and Cindy were putting on their costumes and asked the chauffer to drive them to Prince Edward's castle.  When they both arrived to the costume party, there were so many other princesses who had their costumes on as well.  Some were witches, ghosts, pumpkins, cats, bunnies, dogs, vampires, and butterflies. Giselle hung around the cats, dogs, butterflies, and bunnies. While Cindy hung around the witches, ghosts, pumpkins, and vampires. All the princesses in the land where having such a great time.  They danced to Thriller, and other dance songs.  Prince Edward was looking at all the princesses and couldn’t decide who he wanted to dance with. He looked at all the princesses dressed in various costumes, some scary, some not.  He said, “All the princesses seem to have just ordinary costumes. "I can’t decide who to choose to dance with.” Suddenly he looked at Princess Giselle’s costume. The prince couldn’t stop starring at Giselle.  She was so beautiful and he liked her costume the best. He asked her to dance with him. Giselle said, “Yes I will dance with you Prince Edward”. 

         Princess Cindy and all the other princesses were so jealous and full of rage.  They all began to throw apples at Prince Edward and Princess Giselle. Quickly Edward and Giselle ran out of the castle and the chauffer drove them to a local park to escape.  Cindy and the other princesses started to chase them all over the town.  They searched and searched, but could not find them.  Princess Cindy went to a nearby pay phone and called the police.  She said to the police, “My sister Giselle is missing please find her right away”.  The police went searching for Princess Giselle.  Meanwhile, Giselle and Edward were having a fun time in a local park together.  They danced and immediately fell in love. Giselle the sweet and beautiful princesses wanted to see more and more of Edward. She was afraid of her sister Cindy and what she may do to her if she finds her.  Edward told Giselle, “My love, Cindy will not be able to find you.” Giselle said, “Edward you don’t know what she is capable of doing?” 

         The next morning, the police drove to the local park.  They searched everywhere. The police found Edward and Giselle talking at a nearby bench. “Come with us, your sister Cindy is worried about you and wants you to go to her.” Giselle said to Edward, “I must go to Cindy.” Edward replied, “I thought you were scared of your sister?” Giselle said, “You don’t understand I must go.” The police drove Giselle to see her sister Cindy. When Cindy saw Giselle she was so happy to see her. She told Giselle, “I am so sorry I threw those apples at you and Edward and made you run away with him.”  Giselle said to her sister, “I forgive you Cindy, I love you very much.  The sisters returned to their castle and stayed together forever.
