Once upon a time, there lived a queen, a prince and a princess. They were very happy and loved nothing more than going for long walks in their palace garden. They were as happy as people can be. But they could not have guessed that there was a wicked wizard in the land that was jealous of their happiness. One day he looked down upon their palace and decided that he would take it for himself and he conspired to own the Schloss Schonbrunn and all the beautiful city that was ruled by the her Majesty Queen Lori the Brave. This was her holdings:
One day the Queen, Princess Emily the beautiful, and Prince Nathan the mighty decided to go on a journey. So they left their beautiful home.
They came to the entrance of a dark and dangerous forest. Little did they know that the wizard had set a trap for them. But the Princess was unafraid.
They rested by a fountain. And made a wish. The Prince wished that he might find a princess worthy of his Noble baring.
But the wizard had built a maze, that would take courage, beauty, and nobility to get through. He thought no one would be able to find their way out. Sometimes the princess was not sure they would ever escape.
But Queen Lori was brave, the princess beautiful, and Prince Nathan noble of heart and they pressed on.
All seemed lost. The wizard had thwarted all their efforts to escape. But they met a frog on the way who offered to help them if they could choose the true the drink of the Gods. Queen Lori had prepared her whole life to make the choice and she did not hesitate.
The challenges of the forest continued and the Princess had to dance a magic dance to move forward.
And raise the fountain of life from the magic device of Herodotus.
Prince Nathan faced the finger maze of death and were it not for his courage and prowess they would have failed in their quest to escape the magic forest.
They met an old hermit who helped them and told them how to escape from the forest.
Then the Prince saw her! The girl of his dreams across the magic pool. He knew he would never rest until he made her his wife. He vowed to return to and find her.
At last the quest was over and they escaped the forest! It had been an exhausting journey but they had succeeded. Prince Nathan vanquished the Wizard. Then they rested from their journey.
But they had done it and the kingdom was saved.
The Queen sat by the magic pool and dreamed.
But her thoughts are her own and no one can know the dreams of a queen.
And so the lands, the palace all returned to the rightful heirs to the throne. And they lived happily ever after.

Loved your fairy tale. Loved it! The old hermit looked alittle like your dad but not sure, The Queen and Princess were dead on, and I hope the Prince gets his girl of his dreams!! Keep the stories coming!!
I just have one more thing to say about numbers and it fits in well with "A Fairy Tale." The focus here is the number six. As you read this tale you will see that the pivotal figure is the hermit. A bunch of stuff happens before the hermit and stuff happens after the hermit, but the story wouldn't have had it's smooth ending without the hermit.
Now, how many letters does hermit have? Six! Look at what I found out about the number six in Chinese. (cut and pasted from the website http://www.content4reprint.com/psychology/sociology/deciphering-the-meaning-of-chinese-numbers.htm):
"The number 6, pronounced leo, sounds like the word used for "slippery," which implies that everything will go smoothly. 666 is considered one of the luckiest numbers of all; it 's displayed prominently in shop windows across the entire country, and people often pay extra to get a mobile phone number including this string of digits. In Guangzhou, a motorcycle license plate numbered AW666 was sold for 270,000. RMB, (roughly $34,000. USD)!
All I have to say is Satan is one lucky bugger.
Sorry for double-commenting on the same post, but imagine my surprise when I saw this headline today on the AP news wire:
Hundreds strip for naked photo shoot in Austria
Now we know the truth behind "A Fairy Tale" -- or more appropriately titled, "A Fairy Tail." We'll have to get a copy of photograph when it is published and scrutinize it with a magnifying glass to see what our Vienna-romping Peck family's real adventure was this past Sunday.
Did I miss something about the number 6? Wow, what a great comment.
This was obviously the adventure of a lifetime and to think it took place in such beautiful surroundings. Evil seems to lurk even in the nicest of places. However the Peck's triumph as always. Hooray for all of you. - Much love - grandpa
The legend of the "Man in the Maze" represents the meaning of life. The maze or house of
"Se-eh-ha"depicts experiences and choices we make in our journey through life. It illustrates
the search for balance - physical, social, mental and spiritual. In the middle of the maze are found a person's dreams and goals. Legend
says when we reach the center, the sun god is there to greet us, bless us and pass us into the next world. I thought I'd give you a little "AMERICAN" look at mazes. It looks like the maze there would be a lot of fun. That palace looks as big as Versailes. Looks like you had a lot of fun.
dear princess emily the beautiful, i love the story it is so cool! and i cant belive that you are coming back tommorow!!!
with love,
princess izzy the lonley
