A King Named Noble


Once upon a time there was a King named Noble.  He lived with a prince named July.  They lived in an ocean.  Noble was so good at magic that he once made his palace disappear.
       One hot summer night when Noble and July were working a bird flew through the window and gave Noble a note.  It was an invitation to Alia’s castle.  July warned Noble, “Whatever you do, don’t go to the Creepy Cave.”
       Noble put on his red shirt and red hat.  He packed a hot dog and a juice and said, “Goodbye July!”  As he went outside he could see the water.  It was summer so the air was warm.  Noble felt happy.  After an hour, the weather changed.  It became rainy and cool.  Noble got nervous.  He stopped to eat some lunch.  Then he saw a cave.  Noble decided to go into the cave to get out of the rain.
       Once Noble was in the cave he took off his coat to get dry.  Then he heard a wolf howl.  He turned around and saw a pack of wolves.  They had surrounded him.  The head wolf said, “I am Gogo Banogo and we are going to eat you.”
       Noble thought quickly.  He grabbed his magic wand and turned the wolves into mice.  Then he ran out of the cave as fast as he could.
       Finally, Noble was safe.  He went directly to Alia’s castle.  He delivered the present.  Alia gave Noble a ride home.  When Noble got home he told July all about his trip
