An Adaptation of The Fisherman and His Wife

Once upon a time, in a seaside kingdom, a beautiful baby girl was born. King Arton and Queen Martha named their princess Coral. "She's absolutely perfect!" said the King's advisor and friend Gramsley. To celebrate, they held a grand feast. Everybody had suckling pigs, drumsticks and dressing.

But one person wished she could have all those things as Coral. April, a daughter of a poor fisherman, watched as the guests ate. Her stomach began to growl. Even though I don't have all those things, she thought, at least I'm thankful for what I have. April, unlike some of the poor people in town, wouldn't steal, for she is extremely kind-hearted and caring. Suddenly, the King saw April and she ran for her life. But the kindly King felt bad for the poor fishergirl.

When she came home, she took off her boots and rubs her feet. "Gosh, my feet must have been tired from walking so far!" April giggled. The father hugged April and offered her some sardines for dinner. "Oh, I wish things could be different" she sighed as she ate.
