				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Short Story written by:</strong> Alejandra V.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><em><strong>Once upon a time&#8230;</strong></em></span></p>
<p>There was a <span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>princess</strong></span> called Maggie, she was tall and as white as snow. She had red lips like a rose and her hair was brown. She had light blue eyes and was very nice and kind.</p>
<p>She was in love with a <strong>bricklayer</strong> called Kevin. He was tall, had brown hair and tanned skin. He was strong, had dark eyes, was kind and he was never angry.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-3069 aligncenter" alt="love-prince-princess-couple-tales" src="https://www.shortstories.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/love-prince-princess-couple-tales.jpg" width="450" height="352" /></p>
<p>He was also in love with her, but never said anything, unlike Princess Maggie who told the whole kingdom, that is, the whole<strong> kingdom</strong> except for her dad, because would have been very angry. Her <strong>mum</strong> knew everything.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span id="more-5206"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One day, Maggie decided to tell her <strong>dad</strong>, she thought he deserved to know and could not continue to hide the secret from him.</p>
<p>Instead of telling him directly, she prepared a surprise for Kevin. She sent him many flowers made into the shape of the words: <span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>&#8220;I love you&#8221;</em></span>. He was very happy and went running to the castle. The princess was waiting for him, and they kissed. The father saw them, went up to them and screamed:</p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;None of my daughters will be with a bricklayer!&#8221;</p>
<p>And separated them.</p>
<p>Maggi said: &#8220;It doesn´t matter what he is, <strong>everyone is equal</strong>, I love him above all. If you loved me, you would let me be with him. Just because someone has more money than another or different surname doesn&#8217;t mean that we are different&#8221;.</p>
<p>The father went quiet and after a few minutes said:</p>
<p>&#8220;Daughter, you are right, I love you and I will allow you to be with him, because I can see that you love each other and that everyone is equal&#8221;.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><strong>And they lived happily ever after..</strong></em></span></p>
<p><em>Moral of the Short Story for Kids: A name, lifestyle or money doesn&#8217;t matter. Everyone is equal.</em></p>
<p><em>Values of the Short Story for Kids: Never give up if you love someone.</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Short Story written by: </strong>Ana Muñoz Garcia.</em></p>
<p>Once upon a time, there was a<strong><span style="color: #cc99ff;"> talent show</span></strong> in the castle, the queen loved it. Everything was classic, classic music, classic dances and more other things. But suddenly in the show, a joker appeared; he made everybody laugh except the <strong>queen</strong>.</p>
<p>She was very angry, because wanted every show to be classic, and the joker was <strong>telling jokes</strong>, making funny dances&#8230;Suddenly, he felt down the floor catching the curtains and breaking everything around the stage.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-4170 aligncenter" alt="queen king bedtime Story" src="https://www.shortstories.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/queen-king-bedtime-Story.jpg" width="450" height="268" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Everybody but the queen left running, she was so, so angry, that locked the <strong>joker</strong> up in a big cage. Suddenly, the princess, the queen´s daughter, appeared; she was really pretty, had long blond hair and went to visit the joker, when she saw him, said:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span id="more-4166"></span></p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;I really liked what you did on the stage, I had not laughed like that for many years&#8221;. &#8211; said the<strong><span style="color: #ff99cc;"> princess</span></strong><span style="color: #ff99cc;"><span style="color: #000000;">.</span></span></p>
<p>The joker smiled happy of knowing that someone had enjoyed his performance; then said.</p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;Thank you, thank you, but that is the reason of why I got locked up inside this cage&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;I can help you&#8221; &#8211; said the princess.</p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;How?How?&#8221; &#8211; asked the joker.</p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;Listen, I will free you from the cage, we will repair the stage and then, you will teach my mother that <span style="color: #339966;"><em>to laugh is sometimes needed</em></span>; but do not fall down!!! otherwise everything will be ruined, do you understand?&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;Yes, I do, I will do it well, Hope she likes it, and&#8230;what happens if she does not like?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;She will love it, only has to watch the end&#8221;.</p>
<p>-&#8220;Ok, so let´s go to repair the stage!&#8221;</p>
<p>So, they began to repair the stage, and when they finally finished, everybody in kingdom assisted to the new performance again. The queen yelled:</p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;What is this?!!!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>And the princess said:</p>
<p>-&#8220;I won´t tell you until you see it!&#8221;.</p>
<p>The queen looked at the joker, he began telling jokes, and the queen laugh for the first time, and shouted very loud:</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Short Story written by: </strong>Romina Anabel</em></p>
<p>Once upon a time there was a little cook living in a faraway town, it was really faraway. She was called <strong>Caroline</strong>, and was a cute and <strong>good girl.</strong> Her hair colour was curly and golden blond and so long it reached her waist. Her eyes were as blue as the sky and her lips were so pink that even the roses were amazed by them. She had cute freckles on her cheeks that gave her a touch of mischeviousness.</p>
<p>The faraway town had a <strong>king</strong> who was always sad, in a bad mood and bored. He ate chips, hamburgers, soda, sweets and all the junk food he could buy, because he did not have any chef in his <strong>palace </strong>because of his difficult character.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1820 aligncenter" src="https://www.shortstories.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/cook-chef.jpg" alt="Story-cook-chef" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p><span id="more-3639"></span></p>
<p>Meanwhile in town, Caroline, the little cook, cooked nice, <strong>nutritious meals</strong> for the poor kids in town.</p>
<p>One day, she had a great idea. She summoned up the courage to go to the <strong>king´s palace</strong> to talk to him. When she rang the doorbell, the king opened the door frowning, angry and grumbling. When Caroline saw him she began to play with her curls, nervously, but then took a deep breath and asked the king for permission to use his huge kitchen to cook nutritious recipes for the kids. His facial expression was incredulous that this little girl would ask him something like that.</p>
<p>&#8220;What an impertinence!&#8221; &#8211; thought the king</p>
<p>He looked at her, shocked, angry and dubious, astonished by the <strong>willpower, solidarity and bravery</strong> of the little girl in front of him. He thought for a second and then allowed Caroline to use his kitchen with an emphatic &#8220;yes&#8221;.</p>
<p>Caroline <strong>jumped for joy</strong> and hugged the king. Then she collected pumpkins, chards, tomatoes, aubergines, peas, carrots and many <strong>vegetables</strong> from her family´s vegetable garden.</p>
<p>The king could not resist the temptation to visit the kitchen and smell the exquisite aroma coming from there. He wanted to see the delicious meals that Caroline was cooking. When she saw him, she invited him to taste the flavoursome, aromatic and nutritious stew that she was cooking.</p>
<p>From that day on, the people from that faraway village have a <strong>happy</strong> king, who holds a big ball in the palace garden with the kids of the village and <strong>shares</strong> his big table full of delicious food with the people from the town. Caroline has many kitchen assistants and even the king has learnt to cook as he now appreciates <strong>healthy food</strong>, fresh and colourful!</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff"><em>And this is the end of the story!</em></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Short Story written by: </strong>Maria Gracia Urdaneta y Elianny Maria Villalobos</em></p>
<p>There was a<strong> beautiful princess</strong> who one day <strong>met a boy in her village.</strong> The problem was that the <strong>boy&#8217;s reputation was a bad one,</strong> and the King, <strong>father of the princess, didn´t like him</strong> at all.</p>
<p>But the princess <strong>didn´t believe the rumors</strong> about the boy and started dating him behind the backs of the people and of her father.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-199 aligncenter" src="https://www.shortstories.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Short-stories-The-princess-and-her-swift-horse.jpg" alt="Short stories - The princess and her swift horse" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p><span id="more-2351"></span></p>
<p>As time passed, the people in the village noticed that something was going on between the two of them, and rumours spread.</p>
<p>The King heard that his <strong>daughter was dating this boy</strong> and, when she confirmed the rumours the King became furious:</p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;I can´t believe you have <strong>betrayed</strong> me!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;I am really sorry, but <strong>I love him</strong>, and he is so nice to me.&#8221; &#8211; said the princess, before running to her room.</p>
<p>The princess was crying in her room when her father came in:</p>
<p>&#8211; &#8220;I´m sorry my child, you are right. If you love him and he loves you I should be<strong> happy enough,</strong> I just don´t want you to be hurt.&#8221; &#8211; and he added &#8211; &#8220;I just <strong>want the best for you.</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>The princess understood her father and forgave him.</p>
<p>After a few years, the princess and her boyfriend <strong>got married</strong> and the King and her daughter´s husband became <strong>very close friends.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>THE END</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Mely was 5-years</strong> old and her mother was the queen of all kingdoms.</p>
<p>Everybody knew her as <strong>&#8220;Little princess&#8221;</strong> because she was so small and cute and always smiling.</p>
<p>But, unfortunately, her mother died and the poor <strong>little princess became the only heir to the kingdom</strong> at 5-years old.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-2250 aligncenter" src="https://www.shortstories.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Short-Stories-princess-queen.jpg" alt="Short-Stories-princess-queen" width="450" height="557" /></p>
<p><span id="more-2244"></span></p>
<p>So, little <strong>Mely became the queen</strong> of the Kingdom. People didn´t like the idea because she was still <strong>too young</strong> but Mely was very smart. She had been with her mother during her entire reign and had learnt from her. But the most important value she<strong> had learnt was honesty.</strong></p>
<p>One of the <strong>queen´s counselors</strong> wanted to take advantage of the situation and planned <strong>to discredit Mely and so disinherit her.</strong> In this way he would become King.</p>
<p>The adviser worked on his plan and began to speak badly of the little queen in the palace´s corridors, but <strong>Mely heard</strong> him and had an idea.</p>
<p>She convened all the townspeople in the main square to explain to them what the adviser was doing.</p>
<p>&#8220;I´m going to be a good queen. My age doesn´t matter, what matters is that I am <strong>not marred by adults politics. I will always be honest with you.</strong>  The advisor was then <strong>expelled from the Kingdom for being a traitor.</strong>  &#8220;We want <strong>honest values</strong> in our town!&#8221;</p>
<p>And that´s how Moly became one of the most <strong>valued queens</strong> ever, and people in town really loved her because she was <strong>nice and honest</strong> with them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>THE END</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once upon a time there was a <strong>prince living in a kingdom</strong> with his parents the King and the Queen. He was known as<strong> &#8220;The infant&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>He was <strong>8 years old,</strong> and nobody in the village wanted him to become the prince because <strong>they all said that he was cursed.</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1053 aligncenter" src="https://www.shortstories.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/palace-castle.jpg" alt="palace-castle" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p><span id="more-1919"></span></p>
<p>One day he asked his father: &#8220;<strong> Why do people say I´m cursed</strong>?&#8221;</p>
<p>The King told him that <strong>a witch had said it when he was a baby</strong>, and although <strong>it was a lie, </strong>some people had believed her.</p>
<p><strong>The infant was very sad</strong>, and his father decided to <strong>teach a lesson to those people</strong> to make his son feel happier.</p>
<p>One night he went to the prince´s room and gave him a black cape and a diadem with two horns and told him what to do and then waited.</p>
<p>The boy went <strong>out onto the balcony and said: &#8220;I am the devil,</strong> I have just eaten my parents, I will eat you too if you don´t <strong>obey me</strong>!&#8221;</p>
<p>The people in the <strong>kingdom were very scared</strong>, the prophecy of the witch was real, or that´s what they thought&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Those who liked gossip ran away</strong> from the kingdom,<strong> and the rest stayed in the village and lived happily</strong> forever in the kingdom.</p>
<p><strong>The infant became the King</strong> some years later and all the citizens loved him.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>THE END</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a <strong>King called Arthur who promised all the people in his kingdom a daily bag of bread.</strong> Over a few months, everything went well, and everybody was very happy and thankful to the King.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5">But <strong>bad times</strong> arrived. Grain became scarce and Arthur´s suppliers of bread had to close their business. So the King went looking for <strong>another bread supplier,</strong> but couldn´t find one.</span></p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-835 aligncenter" src="https://www.shortstories.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/cuento-rey-midas.jpg" alt="cuento-rey-midas" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p><span id="more-1796"></span></p>
<p>King Arthur wanted to solve this problem so as not to <strong>break his promise.</strong> So he arranged a meeting in the town&#8217;s main square and <strong>offered a job</strong> to anyone who wanted to be the baker of the kingdom.</p>
<p>A man who didn´t have a <strong>job said he would </strong>be the baker. Everyone was very happy and waited anxiously for their new bread.</p>
<p>But after two months, <strong>people in the town began to complain about the bread.</strong> Nobody in town liked it at all, so the baker resigned when he realised that he had no talent for cooking.</p>
<p>King Arthur again tried to find a solution, but had no idea what to do. Finally, he decided to be the <strong>baker himself.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Royal Castle became a bakery</strong>, and the <strong>King became the best baker</strong> ever known in the kingdom.</p>
<p>His bread became famous all over the world, and people from <strong>all parts of the world wanted to taste the bread of King Arthur.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="line-height: 1.5"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong>THE END</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff"><em><strong>The moral of the story:</strong></em> </span><strong><em>make an effort to keep your promises.</em></strong></p>
