Week 9 – Prince John Goes Sneak Shopping (Story-Starter)

2C - LA - Week 9A thousand years ago, in a castle in England, there lived Prince John. His father was King Fixum. Prince John had wanted to do something, so he left in the morning while the guards and the king weren’t looking. He had to do it when the king and guards weren’t looking because the guards did what the king wanted, and the king didn’t want him to go anywhere without him. He brought a money bag with him because he was going shopping, buying things that he liked like chocolate, scrolls with stories he liked, and candy. He didn’t finish shopping until it was dinner time. That was a long time. He forgot his royal horse and carriage so he had to walk all the way home on the road which was 15 miles long. All day long the king had been looking for him. He checked the castle basement, the castle kitchen, and even the prince’s room. The king was worried that the prince had been killed. He couldn’t even go to sleep. When the prince got home, he checked his watch and knew that king was in his royal bed, and he remembered that the king always locked the castle doors before going to bed. So he climbed the castle wall and snuck back into his room. The next morning King Fixum was surprised to see the prince. He asked, “Where have you been?” The prince said, “I won’t tell you.” The king was very happy to see his son, though he still wondered where his son had been.
