THE PRINCE AND THE SERVANT
by Caleb P.

The servant and the prince were like two peas in a pod even though the prince was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and the servant was born with chicken feed.The king had a very hard time with that because he was a fat cat. It was like a bolt from the blue when the prince asked the king to buy the servant new clothes, the king chewed up the scenery at that. The prince said that him and the servant were going to hit the road. The king was down in the mouth. He didn’t know what to do. He felt like he was in the doghouse. The king let them go out of the clear blue sky. So the servant and the prince set off. They were up until the eleventh hour walking away from the castle.The prince felt like a fish out of water because he was out of the castle for so long.The prince wanted to drop the servant like a hot potato, but he didn’t.
    
The servant led them to London. He said we had to look for what sounded like a shack. It would be like trying find a needle in a haystack. Every time we thought we found it we were barking up the wrong tree. The prince got hot under the collar but when they got there he was tickled pink. The prince felt home sick so he said that there is more than one way to skin a cat and that he was going home. When he got home the king jumped down his throat but was glad to have him home. After that the king and prince always saw eye to eye.
