The Adventures of the Rose Princess

Chapter 1

One day, a princess was born to Queen Jasmine and King Biscus in the Kingdom of Sunflower.  She was named Rose.

Her mom was crying because she was happy.    The princess was so fair and pretty.   Everybody in the Kingdom was very happy.  She was a huge bundle of joy to everybody around her.  She would giggle and say nonsense which everyone around her would listen to and adore for hours.  Anybody who made her smile and laugh was the hero of the day.


Age 1 : The Greek Yoghurt

She grew up happy and healthy to a  one year old kid.  She liked Greek Yoghurt  a lot.  She was eating lots of Greek yoghurt, one day.  After she finished that, she could get one candy.  It was the third day of the week, that meant CANDY DAY.  Her mom gave her a candy can and Rose picked a pink candy to eat that day.  Oh, life was so much fun!

She slept in a wooden crib, that had been decorated with beautiful flowers and jewelery with soft bedding. The Queen would watch her for a while, while the King would sit in the room with her while he was working on the issues of the Kingdom. Somehow, being with the daughter seemed to make all problems lighter.

The Princess was getting her teeth and she was picking up and saying words now.  No one wanted to miss her first words.


Age 2 :  The Dream

The Rose Princess was in the bed.  After she get up, she was very hungry.  Her mom gave her some  breakfast, some bread and her favourite mixed fruit jam. Afternoon she ate lunch, that was beet-root rice. It was one of her grandma's recipes.

It was night.  So her mom and dad and Rose herself were sleeping. At night the Rose princess had a bad dream.  There was bad princess with dirty unkempt hair with food on here face who was chasing her and trying to catch her.  She had a fitful sleep.   She cried that night. Her mom and dad heard that and rushed to her. She told the parts of the dream she remembered to her parents.  But they dismissed it, and asked her not to worry and just say her prayers before sleeping.


Age 3:  The Fair by the lake

When Rose was three she could understand some of the things that were going on.  She saw that things were busy at the castle.  There were more people coming to meet the King, and several new people the little girl had never seen with colourful costumes.

Her dad was so busy that he did not have time to play with the princess.  The princess was not happy.  Rose one went to her daddy and sat on his lap when he was in an important meeting with several people.  The King smiled at her, and said "Hello Sunshine",  settled her in his lap, and continued talking to the others.

Rose was happy, but was jealous that the King was not talking to her, but the others.  Her face was sad.  She said "Daddy, please Daddy, you could talk next time please"

"Why my dear, we are in an important discussion" said the King.

"OK Daddy" said the princess.

But the King could see she was sad. He finished the meeting soon, and got up, lifting his daughter with him.
"What is the matter, sugar?" asked the king.

Dad, I see lots of new people.  Everybody seems to be ignoring me and playing by themselves.  They just smile at me and walk away. Even mom and you are not playing with me any more.

"Sorry Rose" said the King.  "Why, we are getting ready for the Fair By the Lake.   It happens once every four years.  We are just getting ready for it. That is why I am busy, arranging it."

"Can you take me to the fair, daddy, please, oh please, pretty pretty please?" asked the Rose Princess.

"No", said the King, "It is no place for little kids". 

"Oh, Please daddy, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Pretty pretty pretty pretty please" asked the Rose Princess.

"Oookaaay!" said the King, unable to resist.

The Princess had lot of fun at the fair.  She went on rides, ate a lot of candy, fed the horses, petted the goats and participated in the competitions. She got balloons home.

Age 4:  The Princess is lost in the tunnel

The princess was very bored.  Her dad asked her to go the park with her mom. Rose was very excited. She told her mom that daddy told her that they could go to the park. Her mom agreed, and took her to the park. Rose saw a tree. There was a hole in the tree.  Rose wondered what it would be like to go in there.  So she went in the hole.  But when she went in the hole, she came to a whole new land.

There was a sign that said FAIRYLAND.  Rose was very puzzled. She came to a whole new land and she did not know where she was. Suddenly, a fairy appeared. The fairy said that she would help her find the way back home.Rose was  relived.She told the fairy that she went in a hole of a tree and came here."Oh"!The fairy said."I think I know where you came from".She told Rose to follow her.

They stopped at a big tunnel."Go in this tunnel and  you will return back".

Rose princes took one step into the tunnel. The tunnel was pitch dark and scary.  She came out . "Do you know a way to light up the tunnel?"asked Rose.
