The New King

We do a lot of "stories without books" around our house. Ethan sits there and listens so intently on every word I say. I thought I'd share his favorite "story" with you all.

The New King

There once was a man named King Frogwart. He had three beautiful little girls, but never had a son. He was getting old and decided that he needed a replacement king to rule his land.

He went out to the village and rounded up all of the little boys for an announcement. Just as he was about to begin his speech, he noticed a little girl in the crowd. "Little girl, why are you in the middle of all of these boys? I asked for little boys only."

"I want to know what the announcement is too," she replied.

Growing tired and not at all in the mood to argue, the king said, "Very well then. I'd like to make an announcement. I am looking for a special little boy to replace me as king."

"I want to be king," the little girl shouted.

"I'm sorry little girl, but only boys can be kings." He quickly chose a gorgeous little boy and moved on.

Several years later, that little boy became king. His name was "King Ethan." (Ethan of course smiles from ear to ear at this sentence!). He needed a queen, so he decided to have a dance off with all the young ladies from the village.

There was a beautiful young lady who won the dance off and her name was....ANNA! (Now can you imagine Ethan's face at THIS sentence?!). Yes, Queen Anna and King Ethan lived happily every after!!

Sorry to bore you all with this story, but my sweet boy is madly in love with his Anna and I wanted to make a permanent memory for him through my blog.
