Once upon a time in the Land of Is lived a mighty King who ruled the land good and true. Now this King had a beautiful daughter named Princess Kendra Lynn. This mighty King loved his beautiful little princess with all of his heart. They would spend hours and hours talking and walking about the land of Is.

One fine morning as they were having tea Kendra Lynn’s father began to tell her of the mean troll of the land of Is Not. He warned her to beware of this troll because he was a very tricky and angry troll.

You see he once was a Handsome Prince in the land of Is, but had become power hungry and tried to turn everyone against the Good King. One day when the Good King could take no more of the Handsome Prince’s evil ways and nasty tricks the Good King turned the Handsome Prince into a troll and sent him down to the land of Is Not.
Now the troll had tricked some of the King’s followers and had them taken with him never to return to the Good land of Is.

The Good King warned his beautiful Princess Kendra Lynn to beware and not to go out of the land of Is. He then gave her guards to watch over her.

Now Kendra Lynn loved to wonder all over the land of Is even into the Outer City of Is. She became very weary of always having the guards watching over her, so she started planning how to sneak away from the guards and wonder on her own.

Princess Kendra Lynn sneaked into the secret room off of the King’s Library where he kept the Good Laws of Is. Once in the secret room she changed in to a man’s hat she had put in her bag and a pair of the King’s own britches. She took a rope off of the window curtain and put it around her waist to keep the britches on. She rolled up her beautiful dress and hid it under the good book of Is. Then escaping out the back door she headed for the woods that were not to far and where she could hide and watch the good people of the outer city of Is.

As she sat watching the town’s people she became very tired so she started to look for a place to lay her head. When she awoke it was much later and it was very dark. She could not see anything not even the outer city lights. Then came a soft voice that sounded like velvet saying Kendra Lynn this way, Kendra Lynn this way. She just knew her father the Good King of Is was calling her name so she quickly got up and headed towards the voice. All of a sudden she fell in to a deep hole sliding down, down, down until she landed in the land of Is Not.

The troll was so excited and elated that he had tricked the Good King of Is’ beautiful daughter he began to laugh and then he had a big party with all of his troll friends. He had her cast into the dungeon and there he left her.
Now the Good King of Is serched and serched for his Kendra Lynn for she had not shown up for their walk through the good city of Is. He sent out many guards to find her but to no avail.

The troll was so excited that he had finally had something of the Good King’s that he sent his followers out to the edge of the woods by the outer city of Is and told of the Princesses captrue. He then had her put into a deep sleep.

Word spread quickly about Kendra Lynn’s plight and it did not take long for the Good King to hear of the capture. He sent out the Knight that had been with him since the beginning of time.

When he had heard of the Good King’s problem and the Princesses plight the knight of Rescue came riding in on a white horse. Oh what a beautiful sight to see.

A long with the Knight Rescue came a band of Angels that went everywhere with Knight Rescue. The Good King was so excited that he told Knight Rescue that Kendra Lynn would be his bride forever and ever when Knight Rescue came back with the beautiful Princess.

The battle raged all through the night and into the next morning. Then the enemy troll was finally defeated.

The Knight had finally been able to put the trolls to rest and to start to look for the Princess Kendra Lynn. She was to be his beautiful bride.

The minute he looked at her they fell deeply in love. They had a long trip ahead of them but it was hard for Knight Rescue to take his eyes off of the beautiful Princess.

They were married and they lived happily every after in the land of is. And the Good King of Is was a very happy King.

And the angels sang.

The End
