HI! This is my SCAMPER update earlier on my blog I said I would update it and here it is with more to the story. Please comment on what you think and enjoy the story.
Once upon a time there was a woman who loved to brag about her son, Laurance.
One day she went to visit a friend who worked as a chef in the palace.
“My son is very handsome and skillful!”
While she was bragging the princess was passing by and heard everything.
“He can even make priceless crowns!”
“REALLY!!!” exclaimed the princess.
“You must send him to me!”
“Yes your majesty.”
“Wait!” yelled the mother.
“I..I might of been over exaggerating!”
“Well...SEND HIM TO ME ANYWAY!!”
“Y...Y..Yes your majesty…”
As the mother made her way home Laurance was there.
“Is everything alright mother?”asked Laurence.
“Well...I..Um..”
“Oh no what have you been saying now?”
“Well..I may of said that you could make priceless...heh..Crowns..” the mother said.
“Oh mother!” cried Laurance
“But Laurance my dear, I was simply telling my friend, the chef, how clever you are!’ His mother said.
So Laurance hurried to get some things together and returned to the castle with the princess's guards and his mother.
The princess was waiting in the hall.
“I understand you have a remarkable gift,” Said the Princess
“I believe my mother may have over exaggerated somewhat, he is inclined to say things he may not mean.” Laurance said
“But I heard him say it with my own ears.” the princess said
“A room is ready for you.” A guard said as he approached them.
Before Laurance could say anything else she was led to a large room full of piles of straw that she was supposed to turn into priceless crowns, then the door slammed behind him.
Laurance sat down against the door and water began to fill his eyes.
How could he turn straw into gold? It was impossible!
Night was passing and Laurence's fingers were sore with trying to spin straw but not a single coin of gold appeared.
He put his head in his hands, it was hopeless.
“Ahem. maybe I can help.”
Laurance looked up, he had heard no one come in but there standing in front of him
was a strange looking dwarf “I don’t think anyone can help.” Laurance said
“Why ever not?” The women asked “I must spin this straw into crowns for the princess.” Laurance said “Well,” The dwarf said looking around “Maybe I CAN help. You rest up for awhile and when you wake up all your troubles will be gone.” She said. The boy couldn’t see how she could help with his troubles but he lay down anyways and fell asleep. While the dwarf worked she whistled which helped Laurance fall asleep. Just after dawn the dwarf woke Laurance up “The job is done!” He said
“What will you give me?” Asked the dwarf
“My diamond bracelet.” Said Laurance
When the princess came in the dwarf disappeared. When she came in the princess saw plenty of crowns. “Perfect you do really have a gift but to be safe you shall make some more tonight.” Said the princess.
“Yes your majesty” as Laurance bowed
The princess spent the day with Laurence and thought he was a kind, handsome and sweet. Soon the princess fell in love with Laurance. Then the dwarf came back again and made more crowns when he woke up there were more priceless crowns. The princess came in the room again.
“This is unbelievable!!” Cried the princess.
Yet again they spent another day together falling in love more and more.
“If you do this one more time you shall be set free.” Said the princess
“Alright” Said Laurance
The dwarf appeared again
“So what will you pay me with this time??” asked the dwarf
“I have nothing” said Laurance
“NOTHING!!!!” cried the dwarf
“Do you mean you're not going to pay for all the work I’ve done for you.”
“The princess said she would free me” said Laurance
“Well there's one thing…” said the little women
“What? Name it!” cried Laurance
“I want your first born child when you are king”
“Alright anyway what's the chance of me being king?”
The dwarf disappeared.
The princess saw all the crowns and asked Laurance to marry her.
The man was amazed then thought of the promise to the dwarf did he know what the princess was going to say?
Time passed and nearly a year later the queen had a baby Laurance loved her dearly with blonde hair like her mother. Laurance was left alone with the baby one day and the dwarf came back.
