Nobody wanted to be King of the Vegetable kingdom as it was such a difficult responsibility.

The kingdom was full of all kinds of colors, green spinach, orange carrots, red tomatoes, white onions, yellow peppers, and florets of cauliflower and broccoli everywhere. It was an amazing place full of health and strength.

Messages were sent out around the kingdom for them to choose a King. But nobody wanted to assume the charge. They all preferred other kingdoms like The kingdom of Sweets, The Crab kingdom, or even The Cold Meat kingdom, but nobody wanted The Vegetable kingdom.

Then one day, a little man called Luram, became sick. He was really weak and lost a lot of weight. He became very skinny and could not grow any taller. He was really sick, had no energy, and only wanted to stay in bed. Had no strength to jump or run around.

One day, a fairy called Lily visited him, and invited him to drink a tonic, she was sure that it would be good for him. It was made from the vegetables, pomegranate, blueberries and elderberry.

When Luram drank the tonic that Lily the fairy had prepared for him, he started to feel better, he was full of energy, wanted to play, run around, and jump again. Fairy Lily visited him again, to check how he was feeling and gave him another tonic. He said it was great and so, Lily told Luram:

– “Now you are heathy and strong thanks to the vegetables that you used to reject, accompanied by a few dried berries and fruit. So, it´s time to be thankful to the kingdom of vegetables by giving back the good it has done for you.

Luram started thinking about what might be the best way to do something good for this kingdom.

He first visited all those who were sick, invited them to improve their eating habits; showed them the importance of eating vegetables and fruit every day. Luram invited them to drink a bit of the delicious tonic the fairy had given him. It was so delicious that, when they found out what it was made of, they realized that they could drink it every day, or simply just eat the vegetables and berries it was made from.

The inhabitants of the kingdom immediately realized that little Luram was doing good and that he could be their king. Little Luram answered humbly:

– “I´m not ready to reign yet because I haven´t improved my own eating habits completely, and there are still people here that are not eating like they should. I still have to make everybody understand that not eating vegetables or fruit or berries can make them fat, nevertheless, I will continue working and will only accept the title of: Prince Luram of The Vegetable kingdom.

THE END

Once upon a time…

There was a girl that worked really hard because her two stepsisters and her stepmother ordered her to do many chores.

The royal ball was coming soon and this time the prince was going to choose a princess from his kingdom, to marry.

The day of the ball Naomy really wanted to go but she couldn’t because her stepmother asked her to clean everything, wash the clothes, feed the animals and other tasks.

When Naomy finished doing everything she realised that she did not have a dress to wear to the ball and was very sad. Suddenly a fairy godmother appeared and said that she was going to grant her three wishes. Naomy accepted.

Naomy´s first wish was to have a very beautiful dress, her second wish was for a pair of crystal heels, and her third wish was to have an awesome carriage.

When Naomy arrived at the ball, the prince was hypnotized by her beauty and asked her to dance with him immediately.

When the party finished Naomy had neither told the prince her name nor the place where she was living. When the prince asked her it was too late as Naomy had to arrive home before ten o´clock so that her stepmother wouldn´t know that she had gone out.

Finally, the prince found the girl and they became very good friends and then they got married.

And that is the end of the story…

She was in love with a bricklayer called Kevin. He was tall, had brown hair and tanned skin. He was strong, had dark eyes, was kind and he was never angry.

One day, Maggie decided to tell her dad, she thought he deserved to know and could not continue to hide the secret from him.

Instead of telling him directly, she prepared a surprise for Kevin. She sent him many flowers made into the shape of the words: “I love you”. 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:

– “None of my daughters will be with a bricklayer!”

And separated them.

Maggi said: “It doesn´t matter what he is, everyone is equal, 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’t mean that we are different”.

The father went quiet and after a few minutes said:

“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”.

And they lived happily ever after..

Poppy lived in a castle, enjoying her riches and her toys while the others suffered poverty.

One day, an old man went to ask her for food. She replied annoyed:

– “Do you think I have food to spare? Go and look for your own.”

Poppy closed the door really angrily.

She went to bed and look at her feet. She realised that they were swelling up and turning red like a tomato.

The next day the old man visited Poppy again but she chased him out and her feet swelled up even more.

One day a witch came to visit her and said:

– “Your feet are swelling for one reason and that is because you don’t share anything with the others, don´t be ambitious“.

Soon the island was not poor anymore and everybody was happier. They all sang and danced and ate good food and they thanked the princess for her good behaviour.
