Nap Time Rocks!

once upon a time, there was a kingdom called Flush. all its inhabitants like to flush the toilet that’s why there are monuments and public urinals found in every corner of the street.

then one day, a young knight came from a far away land to ask for the hand of Kingdom Flush’s princess. the princess was very beautiful and shared the same passion of flushing the toilet. when the knight found this out, he was so turned off that he planned to leave as soon as possible. back in those times, flushing the toilet with a passion such as the Kingdom’s was considered very eccentric and — disgusting. no wonder the knight wanted to leave.

the princess was sad. this wasn’t the first time that a suitor had been turned off because of her kingdom’s rather strange practices. will she ever find someone who will love her as who she is? beauty, kingdom, flushing the toilets and all? there seemed no hope for the beautiful princess. she left and went to the woods to reflect on things.

while walking in the woods and smelling the flowers, she came upon a small quiet brook. she saw her reflection in the water and saw that she was one of the most beautiful creations made by God. in the woods where there were different wild flowers and many species of animals, she felt like she belonged and that she was loved.

while thinking about these things, the princess suddenly heard rustling in the nearby bushes.

when the princess turned to look at the bushes, the rustling stopped. with time at a standstill, a little white light appeared from behind the bush and rose 4 feet to the air. the princess was startled. but curiousity got the best of her and she began to step towards the light that was now just hovering above the bush.

when the princess got nearer the light, she discovered that it wasn’t just a glowing speck at all; it was a little fairy!

“hello little fairy! what a pretty creature you are!” said the princess.

“hmph!” said the fairy. “why do you think that i am a girl? is it because i’m a fairy and most people believe that only girls can be fairies!?” he wailed.

“oh no little fairy! i am so sorry! but you are beautiful nonetheless.” the princess said to soothe the fairy that was now glowing a pale red orange.

the fairy-man (for lack of a better politically-correct term) seemed to accept the apology. “who are you and why have you come here?”

“i am princess anna, of Kingdom Flush.” (’and i like flushing toilets!’ she wanted to add but decided not to) “and who are you?” she inquired.

“i am a woodland fairy. my name is frankie.”

“oh, frankie. what a peculiar name for a fairy!” she said, amused.

“i like my name, thank you very much. now if i may be excused, i have got many things to do!” the fairy said in a huff. and off he flew away.

the princess was alone again in the woods, so she returned to the brook and sat there for a while. meanwhile, at 45 degrees to the north and 65 degrees to the east the fairy-man settled atop a hand.

“what goes yonder little fairy-man?” the voice of a young man said.

“your highness, all is the same save for a young woman that tried to insult me!” the fairy-man said.

“oh? and what did she do to insult you?” the young man was amused as the fairy-man described how the meeting with the princess occured, and little by little he grew more interested to find out who this princess was. so he, (and he turns out to be a prince like princess anna, only of the woodland fairies), decided to trace the little fairy-man’s path to the brook.

“but my prince! it will be dangerous for you to come see her!” protested frankie, the fairy-man.

“i do not care. why, are you afraid that she may find out about me? my heart is telling me that i must go and see her. stay put, frankie, and guard my throne.” with that the prince draped his royal cloak around his shoulders and set off — without knowing who princess anna was or about her kingdom’s strange practice.

will he see princess anna?
