The kiss that missed

- Once upon a Tuesday the King was in a hurry as usual.

- "Goodnight", he said and blew his son a royal kiss.

- It missed.

- The young Prince watched it rattle around the room,

then bounce out of the window and into the night.

- The Prince told the Queen.

- The Queen told the King.

- And the King had a quick word with his loyal Knight.

- "Follow that kiss!" he squawked.

- The Knight mounted his horse ...

Eventually ...

- And galloped off in hot pursuit until they came to the wild wood.

- Wild creatures with wild eyes,

too much hair, and very bad manners lived here.

- It was dark. It was smelly. It was ...

... snowing.

- They were not alone.

- There were bears with long claws and growly roars,

swooping owls of all shapes and sizes,

and a pack of hungry wolves with dribbly mouths.

- "Eek!" squeaked the Knight.

- And then, suddenly ...

... with a sparkle the Royal kiss came floating by and, in turn, said goodnight to everyone.

- Bears stopped being growly,

- Owls stopped being swoopy,

- Wolves stopped being dribbly,

- And before you could say "Follow that kiss!"

they all settled down for a good night's sleep.

- After a while they sat down on a wrinkly old tree trunk to rest.

- The wrinkly old tree trunk twitched ...

and slowly rose into the air ...

above the woods and into the clouds.

- At last they found themselves staring into a pair of very hairy nostrils.

- A dragon with "this-pair-would-be-nice-on-toast" eyes

leered greedily at them.

- Suddenly ...

with a sparkle the Royal kiss came floating by

and flew right up the dragon's nose.

- He sat up, sniffed, and blinked.

- Slowly, he opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and ...

Sneezed!

- "Hang on"! he said as they tumbled through the trees.

- "Come back!" he puffed as he lumbered after them.

- "I want to pick you and ...

kiss you goodnight"

- Slowly they all made their way back to the castle.

- That night the Prince was happy,

- The Queen was happy,

- And the King promised to stop always being in a hurry.

- He made sure everyone was comfortable

and slowly read them a bedtime story from beginning to end ...

almost.

The End
