The Yellow Duck creates his own Fairy Tale

"Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a beautiful princess. She was trapped in the castle by her evil, ugly, disgusting Uncle, Sir Toad. Sir Toad kept the beautiful princess there so he could rule the kingdom. He told all the villagers that the princess was ill and he was taking care of her, and in her absence, he made all the decisions. The princess longed to escape from this wart-covered, disgusting man--"

"Hey, I object," Toad pouted. "You're making me out to be a gross, mean old man."

"You are a gross, mean old man," Ms. Fish said, sticking her nose up in the air.

"Well, I don't see a beautiful princess around anywhere," Toad said, pretending to look around. Ms. Fish was beginning to turn an angry shade of purple. The Yellow Duck quickly stepped in.

"Come on, guys!" he sighed. "This is the story you agreed on. Toad, you wanted to play a bad guy, and Ms. Fish, you wanted to be a princess. Isn't that right?"

"Yes," they both mumbled.

"Well, than let's keep going," the Yellow Duck said. He straightened his pretend sword and his helmet, which was a large cooking pot. "I'll narrate, since you can't do it without fighting."

"That's because she makes stuff up," Toad muttered, before slinking off to his spot in his thick black cape.

"Anyway," the Yellow Duck rolled his eyes. " The princess knew she had to find a way to escape. She wrote a letter and shoved it in a bottle, and used several sheets tied together to carry it down. There, her faithful dog Trusty-"

"Trusty is kind of a repetitive name for a faithful dog," Ms. Fish interrupted. "Let's name him Sparkle."

"EW!" Toad gagged. "Sparkle is a girly name. I like Trusty."

"It doesn't matter what the dog's name is!" the Yellow Duck said.

"Does so," Ms. Fish muttered.

"So Trusty the reliable dog ran into the forest carrying the bottle," the Yellow Duck quickly continued, ignoring Ms. Fish. "He ran for miles and miles, until he reached a clearing. There, he met a prince who lived at the pond. He dropped the bottle at the prince's feet and wagged his tail."

Toad hopped in front of the Yellow Duck, wiggling his rear end.

"What are you doing?" the Yellow Duck asked.

"Being Trusty," Toad said.

"I thought you were the bad uncle," the Yellow Duck said, confused.

"I'm both," Toad beamed. "Ok," the Yellow Duck said, just shaking his head at his wagging, hopping friend. "Anyway, Trusty dropped the bottle at the prince's feet." Toad barked and wiggled. "The prince picked up the bottle and read the note. 'Oh no! The Princess is in trouble!' the prince cried out. I must save her!" The Prince jumped on Trusty and rode out of the forest in a hurry!" The Yellow Duck jumped on Toad, who grunted and fell down.

"That didn't work," the Yellow Duck said. "Nope," Toad agreed in a muffled voice. The two stood up and proceeded to trot out of the imaginary forest.

"Finally, the prince reached the castle. He crawled up the side of the castle and entered through the side window. To his surprise, the princess's room was empty. He rushed down the stairs and throughout the hallways, calling for her. He heard her voice call back and rushed into the grand hall. There, the prince saw the Princess surrounded by fallen guards."

"You were too slow," Ms. Fish sniffed. "A girl isn't going to sit around and wait forever."

"Just then, the evil uncle appears!" Toad shouted, hopping out in his most sinister black cape. "I have come for you, Prince Duck!"

"Give the princess back her kingdom!" the Yellow Duck cried. "Never!" the Uncle laughed maniacally.

The Prince and the Uncle had a sword fight while the Princess watched anxiously. Finally, the Uncle fell. "You got me", he gasped, "You actually got me."

"Give the Princess her kingdom back," the Prince demanded. "Fine," the Uncle said. "I didn't want it anyway. She can have her stupid kingdom back."

"You did so!" the Princess retorted. The evil Uncle was banished to a kingdom far away, and the Princess got her kingdom back. The Prince went to visit the princess.

"Thanks for getting rid of Uncle," she said. "Even if you did take a really long time, when I could have done it faster."

"No problem," the Prince said, confused at her gratitude. After that day, the Prince lived happily as he continued to rescue people, and the evil Uncle was banished to the desert forever. The Princess turned her kingdom into a giant beauty shop and everyone was happy. The End."

"That was a good fairy tale," Toad said.

"I think so too," Ms. Fish agreed. "Let's do another one."

"Ok," said the Yellow Duck. And so another story was born.
