Once upon a time there was a class of grade 1 and 2 students who were taught by a princess named Ms. Pietzsch in her castle called Mount Pleasant Elementary School. Each one of her royal students worked day and night with their fairy godmothers and godfather, volunteer mentors from the Writers’ Exchange, to write and illustrate fairy tales for their highness. She was so impressed with their work that she ordered the Writers’ Exchange fairies to publish the stories in the very book that you are holding in your hands.

Once upon a time in a faraway land there was a prince named Dash who was captured by an evil knight who was very mean. The black knight made Dash do every chore there was to do, including taking out the trash. The knight treated Dash like his servant. Dash was so tired of doing all the chores that he ran to his room in the palace and spent his entire day frowning under his pillow. A warlock appeared and shifted his wand back and forth while saying, “Abracadabra abracazam!” Dash was teleported out of the palace. He had just come out of the teleportation portal. The black knight jumped through the window. The knight was mad, very, very mad. He brought out his sword and pointed it at Dash. As quickly as possible, the warlock appeared and turned the black knight into a frog. The black knight tried to say, “Turn me back into a knight,” but he coughed up a “Ribbit!” Then the warlock disappeared and Dash ran miles through the land and they all lived happily ever after.

Once upon a time there was a little fairy princess named Rosy and she had a problem.

When he came back he forgot his plan. The fairy was happy but she knew the lion would come up with a new plan so she had to think fast. She didn’t come up with a plan until she saw her friend named Bunny. She thought she could ask him but he did not think of anything either. He said he knew who could stop the lion, the powerful wizard, and the wizard told them how to stop the lion. He said, “Take this potion and when the lion is not looking, carefully pour it on him. Then he will turn good.” Then the fairy went to the lion’s cave. The lion was sleeping, so it was easy. She gently dropped some on him. He woke up, and the lion was nice! From now on, he was the nicest lion and they lived happily ever after.
