NARRATOR: There once was a KING WITH A TERRIBLE TEMPER.<br />
He had three daughters, a SHORT FAT DAUGHTER, a TALL THIN DAUGHTER,<br />
<strong>and</strong> a BEAUTIFUL YOUNG DAUGHTER.<br />
In a nearby country, there lived a HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE.<br />
One bright spring day, this HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE rode his FIERY STEED up<br />
to the castle of the KING WITH THE TERRIBLE TEMPER; “I have co<strong>me</strong> to seek a<br />
wife from among <strong>you</strong>r three daughters!”<br />
The KING WITH THE TERRIBLE TEMPER first presented his oldest, the SHORT<br />
FAT DAUGHTER. “She would eat too much,” said the HANDSOME YOUNG<br />
PRINCE.<br />
Then the KING WITH THE TERRIBLE TEMPER presented his second daughter, the<br />
TALL THIN DAUGHTER. “No, she is too tall <strong>for</strong> <strong>me</strong>. I cannot marry <strong>you</strong>r SHORT<br />
FAT DAUGHTER or <strong>you</strong>r TALL THIN DAUGHTER.”<br />
Just then, on the stairway appeared the BEAUTIFUL YOUNG DAUGHTER. Rapture<br />
filled the heart of the HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE. “I will take <strong>you</strong>r BEAUTIFUL<br />
YOUNG DAUGHTER.”<br />
His words enraged the KING WITH THE TERRIBLE TEMPER. “Call out the<br />
guards,” he thundered, “turn out this impostor.”<br />
But the HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE im<strong>me</strong>diately seized the willing BEAUTIFUL<br />
YOUNG DAUGHTER, <strong>and</strong> with her in his arms, rushed out of the castle, jumped onto<br />
his FIERY STEED, <strong>and</strong> rode away.<br />
When the guards appeared, all they could see was a cloud of dust raised by the hoofs of<br />
the FIERY STEED as the HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE <strong>and</strong> the BEAUTIFUL<br />
YOUNG DAUGHTER disappeared in the distance.<br />
So ends the romantic tale of the KING WITH THE TERRIBLE TEMPER, <strong>and</strong> his<br />
SHORT FAT DAUGHTER, his TALL THIN DAUGHTER, his BEAUTIFUL<br />
YOUNG DAUGHTER, <strong>and</strong> the HANDSOME YOUNG PRINCE with the FIERY<br />
STEED.<br />
