A Dairy Tale: Grace Golden and the 3 Willies Part 1

It was a nice summer day. Hot seasons like this met lots of fun things to do. On Little Patch of Heaven, Pearl was working in the garden. It was quite hot. The cows were eating lunch and talking. All the the other animals were minding their own business. Mrs. Calloway was eating her hay while Maggie was telling jokes. Then ssomething cought her eye. The piglets looked very unentertained. She wondered why they looked in such a mood. "Hate to interupt you Maggie," Mrs.Calloway said politely. "May I be excused?" she asked. "Oh sure!" said Maggie talking with her mouth full of hay. Mrs. C walked away from the feed trogth of hay and straight to the piglets. "Children, what's got you in such a sad manner?" she asked. "Jeb took our last can." said one of them. "Don't you 3 little ones have anything better to do than play some silly old can?" Mrs.Calloway asked. All 3 of them shook their heads. "It's summer! All of should be having fun." said Mrs.Calloway. "Like what," said one of the piglets. "There's nothing to do!"

"And we're just animals." added another. Mrs. Calloway thought of an idea. "How about I tell you 3 another Dairy Tale?" she asked. The piglets faces lit up. "There's more?" said one. "Isn't there only one short film?" asked another. "Who cares if there's only one short film, it's better than doing nothing all day." said the other. Mrs.Calloway was flattered and happy to see them smile. "Come to the barn." she said. Mrs.Calloway led the piglets to the barn. They got comfy in a pile of hay. "This is the story about Grace Golden and the 3 Willies." said Mrs.Calloway. This is how the story began.

Once upon a time, a beautiful and kind queen and a handsome and wise king ruled a kingdom. Time passed and a princess was born one spring night. Unfortunately the queen was about to depart from Earth after her daughter was born. She looked to the window sill. There in a small flowerpot was a golden flower. A very rare kind that would bloom every 1,000 years! The queen and king wanted to name their newborn princess "Grace". With her final breath the queen said: "Grace Golden." Those were the last words she said as she held her calf and then passed.

The king was very heartbroken, he knew he had stay strong for his kingdom; especially for Grace Golden. Years passed and he remarried. During this time Grace Golden was an older calf and no longer a little new born calf. She was very happy to have a stepmother. But, this stepmother was no kind person. She only married the king for his wealth and crown. Some say she was a which. She only cared about her looks than Grace Golden and her husband. She was an evil queen.

The evil queen lived with the king and Grace Golden for a year. It wasn't pleasant for Grace Golden. "Dear stepmother, would you play with me? Please?" Grace Golden would ask. She would have the same answer over and over. "No! Go play by yourself and stop worrying me!" said the evil queen as she would brush her blonde hair or put on her makeup. Grace Golden would ask her father. Not like the evil queen would reply the same he would say: "I can't now. I'm too busy." Grace Golden felt loneliness in her fragile heart. She loved both of her parents deeply, even though the queen had no time for her. At least she had a kind father. One night, things took a dark change. When the king ate dinner, he died. The royal doctor said he was poisoned. Grace Golden only cried. No one knew how it happened. Only the queen, for it was her who poisoned him! She kept that secret to herself and nobody would ever know.

Not only was that she kept. Every night, the evil queen would look in a mirror. This was no ordinary mirror. It was Enchanted! "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" she would ask. The mirror would only show the queen. This pleased her very much. No one would ever know this secret. When Grace Golden got older, she was very beautiful indeed. Sometimes she would sing, but her voice wasn't as pure as her beauty. Another night passed and the evil queen would ask her mirror the same question she has been doing for the last few years. "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" she asked. But, this time the mirror only showed Grace Golden. This infuriated the queen. "How can that heifer be more gorgeous than me?!" the evil queen yelled. "Something has to be done! Good thing I know what to do." she said to herself.

That night the queen met up with a hunter. "You my friend, are supposed to take Grace Golden into the forest outside the kingdom. When the time is right...kill her!" the evil queen explained her dark plan. "I'll get paid, right?" the hunter asked. "Yes," replied the queen. "and bring me her heart as proof!" The morning passed so quickly. The hunter took Grace Golden to the forest. Little did she know that her life was supposed to end. "It's so nice out here," said Grace Golden. "I never been-" Grace Golden couldn't finish her sentence when she felt something cold touch the side of her head. "Here's what you're going to do. Run far away from this place." said the hunter. Still pointing his gun to Grace Golden's head. Grace Golden was so struck with fear, she didn't question him. She ran into the dark forest and didn't look back.

In real life.

"No! What will happen to Grace Golden?!" screamed one of the piglets. "Don't worry little ones. She'll be alright." Mrs.Calloway assured. "Wouldn't she get eaten by wild forest animals?" asked a piglet. "I promise she won't." Mrs.Calloway replied. Mrs.C continued the tale once again.

In the story.

By now, Grace Golden was very tired from running all day long to get away from her kingdom. She didn't know why she wasn't wanted in her own castle. Why was that hunter taking her to the forest anyway? Grace Golden was now alone. She couldn't take care of herself. Where was she to go? The forest became darker and darker as she walked more. She looked up. The moon was in the sky. "The best thing to do is keep walking." she said.

Meanwhile.

The hunter reported back to the queen. He gave her a deer heart instead of Grace Golden's like he was supposed to. It was a good thing the evil queen didn't know this. She was very pleased. Now she didn't have to worry about Grace Golden and her beauty. When someone asked about where Grace Golden was. The queen would get mad. No one didn't want to upset her, so they didn't ask or get any idea if the queen was hiding something.

As for Grace Golden, she found a small cottage in the forest. Grace Golden opened the door. What am l doing? She thought. I can't just intrude here. It will be for one night. I hope they don't mind. Grace Golden looked around. There was a small kitchen. In the kitchen, there was a small table with 3 chairs. On the table, there were 3 plates of apple pie. Grace Golden couldn't help but look at the slices of pie. She hasn't eaten anything all day. Maybe they won't mind? Thought Grace Golden.

She took a bite out of the first slice. "Too hot!" she screamed as her mouth was burned. She tried the second slice. "Too cold." said Grace Golden as she felt a chill. As if she turned to ice. At least her mouth felt better. The third slice of pie was left untouched. "Third times the charm." said Grace Golden to herself. She took a bite out of the third slice, hoping it wouldn't be too hot or too cold. To her surprise, the slice of pie was neither what she had expected. "Just right!" said Grace Golden as she ate the whole thing.

Grace Golden looked around the cottage. There was a nice living room. In the living room, there was a bookshelf that seemed like it was never touched. And a purple sofa that seemed really comfy. Behind it was a huge painting of a forest. "How lovely." said Grace Golden. Grace Golden decided to have a seat on the sofa. "This really is comforting," she said. "Enough messing around with these people's furniture. I should go to bed."

Grace Golden walked around the cottage for a room for her to sleep in for the night. She found but only on room with 3 beds. One had red a blanket and pillow. Another had a blue blanket and pillow. The last one had a yellow blanket and pillow. Grace Golden decided to lay on the red bed. "It's too hard!" Grace Golden complained. She tried the blue bed. "Too soft." said Grace Golden. She tried the yellow bed. "Just right!" she said as she fell asleep.
