This week, the story tellers have been writing narrative stories. Enjoy!

A princess and a king Once upon a time there was a princess who lived in a kingdom. One day a princess came to a new kingdom and a king tried to kiss her. The princess ran away from the King. The king ran after her. Then the princess stops running and fainted. The king caught up to her and saw that she had fainted and took her to the hospital. In the end the princess had sprained her ankle but was not badly hurt. The princess was on crutches for 5 days. The king went back to his kingdom, and he didn’t chase the princess ever again.
