Somebody's In trouble

By Kazza

2nd February 149-

To Her Supreme Majesty Queen Marie of France

Your Majesty,

I regret to inform you that your esteemed son, His Royal Highness Prince Henry, has been required to read this letter in my presence. Your Majesty will understand why when the enclosed original letter from your son is read.

His Highness is excelling in daydreaming and uses the daily excuse of 'King's just pay someone to do it' to avoid attending to his studies.

We are endeavouring to educate His Highness, however his attitude does appear to be in need of adjustment. Your assistance in the matter would be appreciated,

Yours in faith,

Father Xavier

Dear Mother,

I am still alive. It is a mirrycle. Please reskue me before old stuffie britches feeds me to the dragin in the sellar,

Love

Henry.

You are hereby ordered to stop telling lies about Father Xavier and dragons. You shall also not refer to your tutor as Old Stuffie Britches.

Failure to meet this instruction will meet with my severest disapproval. Am I understood?

I am very sorry about the letter. I did not mean to be bad.

Please send me a pillow to sit on,
