Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time there was a little girl who fell in love with horses. Her parents didn't have enough money to just go out and get her a horse – there were six other children to think of. But she didn't give up. She read every book she could get her hands on that was about horses. She rode everything that was for sale in
the county. And eventually, she got her very first horse.
As children will, she grew up and left home. She went away to school, found Prince Charming, and married him. They lived very happily for many years, then a great storm hit the castle, shaking it to its' very foundation. While there was some damage to the roof and some of the windows, the castle stood – although
now there were two little princes.
The girl, now a lady, and Prince Charming surveyed the castle and the grounds in dismay. There was no money in the coffers, certainly not enough to repair the castle. It was then that they found it. There was a money tree growing on the grounds! All they had to do was to shake it, and money fell around them like
leaves in an autumn wind. There was more than enough to repair the castle – there was enough to last a lifetime, and plenty to share with the rest of their kingdom.
