Love from Auntie Linda  Pg.1 Mollie Barrett aged 4, was walking in a park near Bridgeview, Ennis. She was watching butterflies playing in the flowers and was quite surprised when a king and queen arrived. “We’re looking for a beautiful young girl to become the new princess of our kingdom,” the king said. Pg.2 “I’ve always dreamed about being a princess!” said Mollie. The happy king and queen took Mollie back to their castle. “I wish Laura and Shauna could see this place!” Mollie said. “It’s so big you could have the whole kingdom over for a party.” “What an excellent idea!” said the queen. Pg.3 Soon, the entire castle was busy with preparations for a ball to welcome their new princess. The royal dressmakers created a beautiful gown just for Mollie. When she tried it on, Mollie could hardly believe her eyes. “In this dress I really do look like a princess,” she said. Pg.4 All eyes were on Mollie as she made a grand entrance into the ballroom. “Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce Princess Mollie Barrett,” the king announced. Cheers from the crown filled her heart with joy. Being a princess was even more wonderful than she had ever imagined.  Pg.5 In her glittering ball gown, Mollie was the centre of attention all night long. Everyone wanted to meet the new princess and share a dance with her. “Mollie is the most beautiful princess in any kingdom,” they all agreed. By the end of the night, Mollie had made a lot of new friends Pg.6 When Mollie awoke the next morning, the weather was warm and sunny. “You should go to the beach and have fun with your new friends,” the queen said. “That sounds great!” Mollie replied. She spent the whole day at the beach swimming and playing in the sand with her new friends. Pg.7 When Mollie returned from the beach the queen had a surprise for her. “Tonight the royal dancers will perform a ballet at the castle,” she said. “And they want you to dance with them!” That night, Mollie was nervous but excited as the dancers began the ballet. Pg.8 Soon it was time for Mollie to join the ballet. She took a deep breath and stepped out onto the stage. Mollie heard the beautiful music playing and saw the smiling ballerinas all around her. She forgot how nervous she was and danced more gracefully than she had ever danced in her life. Pg.9 Mollie met the king and queen for tea the next day. She was still tingling with excitement from the standing ovation she received at the ballet. “You are the finest princess we could ever wish for, Mollie,” said the queen. “We hope you will stay here with us for a very long time,” the king said. Pg.10 “But I miss Laura and Shauna,”Mollie said.”Then you must return to them,” replied the king. “After all, you are their princess too.” We’ll miss you,” the queen said as she waved goodbye. The royal carriage took Mollie home to Bridgeview, Ennis but she knew she would be back to visit again very soon.
