Toothy, congrats on your wonderful debute as a Fairy Tale Writer - poetess
Once upon a time, long long ago, far far away, in a far away land, there lived, a very very old, and a very very big, and a very very mean, scary big dino. He was so very big, that he wouldn’t fit, in through any door, or into any home, or into any courtyard, and he never could remember, when he could fit, his big fat butt, into his cave, in the tall steep mountains, by the deep blue river. He was so very big, in fact, that he couldn’t fit, into anyone’s hearts, and this made our dino, very very sad, for the children would run, when they saw him coming, and scream and scream, till they could scream no more. And the poor old dino, would shed a big large tear, which alas, would never reach the ground, for he was so cursed, by this very wicked witch, who made his breath, so very hot, that he couldn’t drink a sip, or eat a morsel, of anything that was cooked, for it would overcook and burn, and no one ever knew, our mean scary dino, was really very sad.
Once when our dino, was still a very little dino, and was so very naughty, that he made his mom dino cry, and yell every other day, “Baby Dino!!! Look where you puff, and especially don’t puff, here nor there, nor into the sky, or at nice looking ladies, passing by”. But Baby Dino didn’t heed, and he puffed and he puffed, and he puffed here, and he puffed there, and he puffed into the sky, and woe betides!!! He puffed right at the witch flying by, and he burnt her broom, and vroom she fell, right from the sky, and landed on her head, with her gown over her head, and her legs up in the air. And was she furious at him. She cursed our poor dino, then and there for all time to come. And Baby Dino cried, “But Momma, she’s not a nice, just an ugly old witch”. And the witch got even madder, than a rat with her tail on fire. And from that day forth, Baby Dino had a very hot breath, and his momma cried, and she said, “He would never be able to kiss a girl ever”. And Baby Dino wasn't really sure, why he would ever, want to do something, as stupid as that.
And so it was, Baby Dino grew, and grew and grew, and grew till he could grow no more. He grew sadder, with every passing day.
Till one day, a small little girl, in her white little dress, and her hair tied up, in the loveliest of ponies, with nice pink ribbons, came dancing to the river, with a pail in her hand, to fetch some water, for her mother. She spotted a pretty little fish, shining like gold, swimming in the water, and the fish was so pretty, that she hummed a little tune, to the pretty little fish, with her head held at a tilt, and she watched and watched, till she could see the fish no more. Then with a little sigh, she filled her pail, and then like all pretty women, from very very little, to very very big, she too looked into the clear blue water she had in her pail, and at her pretty little face, and smiled, dreaming of some nice handsome prince, on the prettiest white horse, and with a lollipop in his mouth. And it was then, that she saw this cute little baby dragon fly, with bright colors, yellow, red and blue, flit in and out, amongst the tall green grass, and weeds, hovering in and around, the wild lilies. Forgetting her pail, she went after the dragon fly, into the tall grass, and in between the weeds, pushing them aside, with her tiny little hands. And chase it she did, for the little dragon fly was smart, and knew how to dodge, and fly between the blades, of tall green grass. And the little girl ran, and she ran and she ran, till … she stepped into nothing, and disappeared into the grass. The dragon fly paused, frozen in the air, and wondered what had just occurred, for one instant the pretty girl was there and then the next she was gone, she was lost to this world, and no one had seen, other than the pretty little dragon fly, and alas it could not speak.
But despair not friends, for our mean scary Dino, head high up in the clouds, was watching the little girl, as he dearly loved all children, and would always watch them play, afraid to shed a tear, and afraid they would be scared, and so he stayed his distance with a very sad heart. His jaw dropped, and he burnt a passing cloud, as the girl was there a moment, and the next she was not, vanishing right before his eyes.
