BR07: Princess Polly and the Pony

‘For one day each week, I’d like not to be a princess,’ said Polly.

The main character is Princess Polly; she is a princess in a country. One day, Princess Polly was in trouble. ‘You’ve got mud on you!’ cried her father, he is a king in the country. And, the Queen, her mother said to her ‘And that’s not all.’ They told her not to gallop on those ponies again. Princess Polly said ‘Being a princess is boring. I can’t do anything.’ But her parents cried together ‘No galloping!’ On the way to come to the Royal Tower, Princess Polly and the king spotted a poster. Polly thought I wish I could join in, but her father said to her, ‘you can’t enter.’ She didn’t hear him, and was thinking about her costume for the race while the father talked and talked. Then, on the day of the race, she put on her costume and crept outside. She ran to the royal barn and climbed onto Pickle. They galloped away to strawberry Hill, and the race stared. They splashed though puddles and leaped over hedge. She cried ‘Whoopee!’ They couldn’t win because her parents had not to see her. But then, the pony in first place slipped in some mud, the pony in second place couldn’t stop and the pony in third place crashed into them. So she and Pickle flew over the finishing line. She thought ‘I’ll just have to keep my costume on.’ Unfortunately, the Queen said her to off with your hat and cloak and tugged her cloak. At last, she was found and the king said her ‘You’re a disgrace.’ But the crowed began to cheer. She said her parents ‘For one day each week, I’d like to be a princess as the winner.’ The king said, ‘But only if you behave like a proper princess for the rest of the time.’ She was so pleased.
