Once upon a time, there was a very bad person. Her name was Arabella. Do you know what her job was? She was a Princess who used her power for evil. She tried to get everyone to get rid of their lovely pets!
Miss Rose had loved her cat. One day, Arabella had crashed into Miss Rose’s house and said “Give me your cat!”
She was so mean and scary that Miss Rose ran away. After that, Arabella had got the cat. She took it to her palace so she could look after it herself. She would be the only person to have pets in the whole kingdom.

Francesca was an enchanted princess. In her hair was a magical clip which gave her the charm of love. She especially loved her lizard, Lucky. They always played together.
One night, along came the bad princess Arabella. She took the hair clip out of Francesca’s hair and now she didn’t have the charm of love. Then, she couldn’t remember Lucky. Arabella took Lucky. Arabella ran from the castle. As she ran, she dropped the hair clip.
The next morning, a knight was going to see his horse, Hercules. On the grass, he saw the clip. He picked it up. At that moment, Francesca walked along.
The knight said, “Is this your clip?”
Francesca said, “Yes.”
She put the clip back in her hair and remembered Lucky.
Francesca sobbed. When the knight asked what was wrong, she told him about Lucky. The knight agreed to help her search for Lucky. Francesca heard meowing and squeaking and ribbeting coming from Arabella’s palace.
“She must have taken Lucky!” Francesca said.
So, she and the knight set off to the palace to get the pets back.
They knocked on the door. Arabella shouted “Don’t come in!”
Luckily, the palace had a back door. It was open. So, Francesca and the knight tip-toed in. But Arabella jumped out and shouted “Stop!”
“We have come to tell you that the King has a pet!” Francesca said. “It’s a dolphin that lives in the smelly moat around the castle.”
“Ugh! I will go and take that dolphin away,” Arabella said. She stomped off to search the stinky brown water. But there was not a dolphin there at all. Francesca and the knight had tricked Arabella.
Now that Arabella had gone, Francesca and the knight got all the pets Arabella had taken. They took them back to their owners. Miss Rose was pleased to get her cat back. Lucky gave Francesca a hug.
As they made their way back to the castle, they saw Arabella in the moat. She was mucky and wet. Her beautiful dress was ruined and looked disgusting. Francesca held her nose. She show Arabella the clip. At last, Arabella understood love. After that, she agreed to become a nice Arabella.
The End
