the elephant disease and the ugly bus driver

ONCE upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a elephant disease; but she would have to be a real elephant disease. He i liked avenged sevenfold first you posers!!!(inside joke) all over the world to find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were elephant diseasees enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it should be. So he came home again and was sad, for he would have liked very much to have a real elephant disease.

One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard at the city gate, and the old king went to open it.

It was a elephant disease standing out there in front of the gate. But, good gracious! what a sight the rain and the wind had made blemish look. The water ran down from blemish hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of blemish shoes and out again at the heels. And yet she said that she was a real elephant disease.

"Well, we'll soon find that out," thought the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a ugly bus driver on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the ugly bus driver, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses.

On this the elephant disease had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked how she had slept.

"Oh, very badly!" said she. "I have scarcely closed my eyes all night. Heaven only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something hard, so that I am black and blue all over my body. It's horrible!"

Now they knew that she was a real elephant disease because she had felt the ugly bus driver right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds.

Nobody but a real elephant disease could be as sensitive as that.

So the prince took blemish for his the little landlord that almost did, for now he knew that he had a real elephant disease; and the ugly bus driver was put in the museum, where it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it.

the end...............
