B dictated two stories to me last week. The stories are based on these castle projects. She decorated the first one with stickers at a friend's birthday party. For the second one she insisted that I trace the first so she could color it and continue decorating. She also insisted that I find a way to put a stick on the bottom so that she could hold the castles up and they wouldn't flop over. I think she was a bit distracted by the end of her story telling, because it doesn't make much sense.

Once upon a fairy tale, there was two lovely princesses with their fairy friends. But then a witch cast another spell on their house and they said, “Witch! Stop doing that to us!” And then doggy and catty can make us go free. They know the only way is to find the colored crystals shaped like a heart or a line. Then the two princesses names was Emily and Kailey. And they said, “We have to type in a code to get out of the castle.” But the fairies was the only ones to know the code. The code is 963401138. But then they locked everyone in the highest tower in the lovely castle. They tried and tried to get out of the castle, but they couldn’t. The fairies knew the way. They did one of their magic spells. “Bibbity-bobbity-boo. Have a little sue. Bibbity-bobbity-boo.” But then another spell happened onto the fairies. “We can do it.” “Oh, yea.” “But I lost my wand.” But then a magic princess with her glowing eyes could help it and do it. “As you do it you’ll be able to get out of your new caslte.” “But we have to sneak out because our king and queen will not let us come out. We have to sneak out.” Then the wizard said, “I am watching you so you cannot get out of the castle.” “Help us get out.” “There are traps all over.” “You can do it, you know.” “This is the only way.” “Get your shoes, get your jewelry, get your wand, get your crown, get your bracelet, get your necklace.” “You’ll see the way to go.” “Of course we can get out and jump out your window.” “But I’m watching you.” “We can do whatever we want. We go jump, jump, jump, jump.” But then a evil evil aminals came to help him. And after that windows came all over. We yelled, “It’s time to go!” And then you say, “flaggy old!” And then we jump out the window. E End

One long time ago there was a king and a queen. Their princesses lived far far away. Then, of course, the king and queen is trapped in a castle. Then you have been stoled. A dragon tied you up and bringed him to where he lived and ate you all up. And then the glasses was the only one to help them. Bricks and stones kill everyone. It happened a long long long time ago. Then it really happened before you saw it be there. “As you type your code you’ll be able to get out of here.” “But the dragons might attack you if you get out of here.” “Well, I will try it my hardest.” He typed in the code then ran out. The dragon tried to catch him, but he was too fast. “But you and the castle been stoled for every night. Then you can be free if you know the way out. You have to go down down to the kitchen. Run run.” And they runned to the kitchen and got out. They were not trapped ever again. Then they got back trapped in there, so they said “Hey little one sing with us.” Then, of course, putted bushed that you would not be able to do. Wizards are at the princesses castle. “We’ve got to save them.” “Then let’s get check marks, bricks, stones, and papyasas.” “But you can escape if you be quickly and make sure they really don’t catch you.” “Windows are good. Hearts are good. Stones are good. And fall in love with the dragon.” Then we said, “Hey little one, sing with us every night, we can sing the words so glight.” “As you say, we should escape even before they eat us. Then inky dink, dinky pink, shinky link, dinky pink. What is the plan we got to do our best.” E End
