Im writting a fairy tale (childrens) about a young girl that dances in the village square. She is very talented, and is asked to dance for the King. When the King asks how she got so talented, she does not answer. The king then sends out a reward for anyone who can figure out why she cannot speak (She can). A young runaway prince hears about this reward for 1000 gold peices. The young prince ran away from home because his mother wouldnt let him marry who he wanted to unless he found someone she found suitable. Well, their was no one in his kingdom, so he went out elsewhere and became a theif to survive.’
Anyway, so he hears of this and is determained to figure out why the girl doesnt speak. He asks her if she even can, and she nods her head, yes. Well, he follows her home one day, where she lives with a small clan of witches who are wanted for being so. she brings home food and money from dancing. And he begins to understand why she doesnt speak to anyone. When he doesnt leave her alone, she finally starts warming up to him, but still doesnt speak.
Eventually, he finds out he loves her and she realizes that she loves him back. But she still doesnt speak. He brings her home to marry her, but his mother doesnt approve and she is thrown away in the dongeon. She dances in the cell, and the guards like how she dances, so they let her out into the court yard where she dances on chains. The mother watches, but still doesnt approve.
The King then visits her one day when the prince isnt, and asks her why she doesnt plead to leave, to go back home. She speaks the four little words he wasnt expecting. “Because I love him.” she stays because she loves him and if she goes home, she would never see the prince again. The Queen finds her to be real, and sets her free. They live happily ever after.
So if you guys could help me with the problem of WHY she doesnt speak…that would be great. And yes, she CAN speak, she just..doesnt. So its not like the witches she lives with put a spell on her or anything. Thanks, I really appreciate it guys! Oh and if you want to change anything, add anything or just criticize…I would love it. Thanks!
Forget I ever said ‘HE BEGINS TO REALIZE WHY SHE DOESNT SPEAK’ because he really doesnt. heh…oopsies! :/
