PRINCESS PURPLE

This is the story of Princesa Purple,a pretty princess who loves the colour purple.But there is a problem.A big problem! Princess Purple does not like any other colour.NO!
Not yellow,not blue,not red nor green.Not even pink!
Everything must be purple;her dress,her shoes,her socks…If not Princess Purple gets very,very angry!
“This toothpaste is not purple! I don’t like it!” she screamed one day in her purple bathroom.The king and Queen are getting worried.”Perhaps our friends can help.Let’s invite them to her birthday party”,said the Queen.”Good idea”said the King.This purple problem is too big for me.”
The first guest at the party has travelled from Menorca and offers a beautiful pair of espadrilles.”AAAAGH! Orange!Yuk….I don’t like them!complained Princess Purple.The next guest is from India and offers a silk sari.
“No!!!! Yellow! Yuk…I don’t like it!”
A boy from Mexico offers a poncho.”No!!!!Green! Yuk…I don’t like it!”
Time passes and the Queen,the King and everybody in the palace is worried…
Until a very handsome prince arrives.”I have two special flowers for a special princess.”
“NO! Red and blue!I don’t…””Stop!”said the prince.”Look!” The Prince mixes the petals with water…”Wow!”said the princess.”My favourite colour.”But the prince said,”Now close your eyes.Smell the flowers.Feel the flower.They are all beautiful,just like you.”
