"The Princess in a Pickle"
Once upon a time, a princess and her castle and village were under attack by an evil wizard.
"As luck would have it, I won't kill everyone!" the wizard said.
"What the dickens is going on out here?" the princess said. "I have to get married and now there is an evil wizard in the village!"
Then a prince came and said, "This wizard is a blinking idiot! You are going to give the devil his due!" he said to the wizard.
The princess screamed, "Help! The blinking idiot wizard is coming after me!"
"Hey, princess!" the prince said. "That wizard will soon be as dead as a doorknob soon!"
"Oh," the princess sighed. "I've seen better days."
The prince made it to the top of the princess's tower and killed the wizard. The wizard pretty much vanished in thin air and was dead.
The next day, the prince and princess got married and the princess was not stuck in a pickle anymore. The prince and princess said together, "Merry as the day is long; this is a wonderful day!"
