Enjoy the Paper Bag Princess retold by Doris Hsu - a fabulous year 2 writer!

Once upon a time there was a princess called Elisabeth. One day she was going to marry a prince called Ronald. He was so handsome and very rich.

When the wedding was ready, before she could say, "I do", there came a dragon. He burnt down the castle with his fiery breath and flew off taking prince Ronald with him.

Elisabeth tried to find something to wear, but the only thing she could find was a paper bag. So she had no choice but to put it on. She followed the dragon, because she could see the horse bones that he had eaten.

Finally she came to a cave with a huge knocker. She banged on the door, the dragon's nose came out and the dragon said, "Well, a princess! I love to eat princesses, but I have already eaten a whole castle today. Come back tomorrow!" Then the dragon shut the door so fast that Elisabeth almost got her nose caught. But she banged on the door again. The dragon's nose came out and the dragon said,
"I said, I love eating princesses, but I have already eaten a whole castle today. Come back tomorrow!"
"Stop!" said Elisabeth, "Are you the fiercest dragon in the world?" said Elisabeth.
"Well, yes!" answered the dragon.
"Is it true that you can blow fire on ten forests?"
"Yes!" said the dragon and he took a huge breath of his fiery breath and blew fire on twenty forests.
"Excellent!" said Elisabeth.
"Is it true that you can fly around the world in just 10 seconds?" and the dragon flew around the world in just 10 seconds.
"Marvellous, do it again!" said Elisabeth.
So he flew around the world in 20 seconds. The dragon was so tired that he couldn't even move.
Elisabeth said, "Hey, dragon, why aren't you moving?" She put her head right into the dragon's ear and shouted, "Hey dragon!" But the dragon was so tired, he couldn't even move. Elisabeth walked into the cave and there was prince Ronald.

"Elisabeth, why aren't you wearing your princess dress? Come back when you look like a real princess!" said Ronald.
"Ronald, you have handsome hair and lovely clothes, but you are a bum!"

The End!
