One day a great wiz­ard cast an enchant­ment upon a princess hop­ing to lure her to his realm. Finally, she arrived. The wiz­ard came down from his tower to greet her with his very best pick up line. Sadly, it was some­thing obnox­ious he had picked up from the guy who cleaned the dun­geon. So she left.

Once upon a time the charm­ing prince met the beau­ti­ful princess. He invited her to the grand­est ball at his sparkling palace. He bought a new horse and char­iot to pick her up for the ball. Sadly, he was stopped for speed­ing, taken into the police sta­tion for all his unpaid park­ing and speed­ing fines and never did get to have that first date with the princess. She did meet his younger brother and they got along well and lived fairly hap­pily ever after.

Your turn. Write a short fairy tale, with a twist.

Once upona time, there lived a poor widow and her son Jack. One day, while Jack sat up in a tree watch­ing the peo­ple come and go on the road below him, he spied the royal car­riage approach­ing. He had heard that the princess was extremely beau­ti­ful and he made up his mind to try and see her. Unfor­tu­nately, due to height­ened secu­rity con­cerns, it was her body dou­ble, Harold Krump, who was not remotely attrac­tive at all. Kack never fell in love with the princess and lived out his days in poverty.
