The Lord and his Ring

Once upon a time there was a great Lord in the far off land of Villa de Green. He met a beautiful princess and they fell in love. After months of his courting her, the Lord asked the beautiful princess to accompany him on a pleasant afternoon amongst the trees of the forest. And so the Lord and the princess along with the Lord's Knight and the Princesses younger sister went out into the deep dark enchanted forest. All but the princess knew what magical happening was about to take place in those woods. The afternoon began as any pleasant royal outing would. They had a feast, and entertained themselves with ancient sports such as the art of Frisbee throwing. After a while, when the happy train of people began to weary of such trifles, the Lord suggested they explore amongst the trees of the forest and over the rivers of the valley, to see the lovely sights. The Knight and the younger princess knew that this was the moment the Lord had been planning for months, and hurriedly dashed on ahead of the Lord and princess. As they waited eagerly for the two to catch up again, they kept realizing, the magical transformation hadn't occurred, so they would dash off again. When they finally reached the end of the long and tedious trail, they waited breathlessly, knowing now was the last moment it could happen. The minutes ticked by into two minutes, then three. The Lord and Princess did not appear. The longer the two waited, the more they smiled for they knew it must be happening. Finally, they saw them. Emerging from out of the trees came the Lord, and the lovely princess by his side. But they were not looking at their faces, instead they were watching a bright light shinning from the Princesses finger!!! She smiled her sweet smile and held up the diamond ring, signifying the magical promise of marriage to the charming Lord!

And so it was...the great Lord Jonathan and Princess Heather will live happily ever after!!!


The End!!!

I was excited to hear about your sister. I remember when she was just a month old and now she is all grown up. I loved your way of telling us in story form what happened. In fact I thought it was just a writing and than I realized this is true. You have a way with words.
Your second cousin, Jody
