Her Highness and the Bellboy Page #2

---

Ha ha ha!

When she was a little girl,

she used to dance so pretty.

Excuse me, madam.

This-this place is reserved.

Thank you, Albert.

The pleasure's mutual.

Oh, isn't it a beautiful night?

You think you'll be warm enough, Leslie?

Oh, yes.

Uh-huh.

Jimmy?

Would you do a person

a personal favor?

What is it?

Would you read I and Leslie

a story? I brung a book.

Oh, no, Albert.

Not again tonight.

Oh, but I like 'em.

Don't we, Leslie?

Oh, yes, Jimmy, please.

All right.

Ahem!

"In a dark, wild wood

lived a young Princess,

"and she was lovely-as

lovely as flowers.

"Her cheeks were like lilies and roses,

"her eyes as blue as violets

"and as bright as the stars.

"And she was good and clever and rich-

"so rich that she

could have ice cream

"3 times a day,

every day. And yet,

"she was not happy. She

had a hundred silken gowns,

"but she had nobody to love her.

"And she had

a hundred jeweled crowns,

"but she had nobody to love.

"And her stepmother

was mean and ugly and old,

"and so were the other people

who lived in that great,

gray castle-"

in the dark, wild woods.

"In the dark, wild wood.

"There was only one young person

there, and he did not count,

"for he was only a dirty,

poor lad who tended the pigs.

"The beautiful Princess would look

down from her window high in the tower

"and see him

as he went about his work,

"and he would look up

and see her,

but a Princess does not fall in love

with a dirty, poor lad"

who tends the pigs.

"Who tends the pigs.

"Now, there lived in that land

many young princes and knights,

"and they were

handsome and rich and strong,

"but they never came

to court the lovely Princess,

"for they did not dare

to come to the castle.

"For in the woods,

there lived a dragon.

Now, this dragon was bigger than

50 bulls, and when he snorted..."

"Or growled..."

Grrr!

"Or roared oh ho,

he shook the castle.

"He was big and fierce

and cruel and always hungry.

And what do you think

the dragon ate?"

People!

"People...

"Old and young, big and small-

he ate them all.

"So the poor little Princess

had to stay inside the castle

"and never go out at all.

"At night, she would hear him

rumbling and grumbling,

"huff! Huff! Huff!

Some fine day, I'm going to eat

"a fair young Princess,

tender and sweet.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!

"The poor little Princess,

in her big, gold bed

would lie and cry,

and nobody would care...

"Nobody but the dirty,

poor lad who tended the pigs.

"But of course,

he did not count.

"Then one night,

he said to himself,

"I will set the Princess free.

"I will go out with her

into the dark, wild wood,

"and when the dragon comes, I

will stand there and laugh at him.
