Once upon a time there was a lady-knight who lived in a very awesome place in the world called Husskaloo. The lady knight heard of a prince who was locked up in tower in the deepest parts of the woods.
“It might be fun to venture over and set him free!” she thought, in a very lady-knight-like fasion.
And so she went. She slapped many Ogers and stomped on the toes of many trolls just to get to the prince. When she finally arrived, she called up to the prince, “Might you please come down from there? I have lots of chores to do and many meals to cook and I can’t be too tired for all that - nevermind fighting all those trolls and ogers again on the way home.”
“Fair lady-knight! You must come up and save me before I can go down there.”
With a sigh the lady-knight replied, “Men always want the women to do the tought stuff.”
And with that, she turned around and went home and married someone cooler than the prince stuck up in a castle because she didn’t want to marry some loser who was stuck up in a tower in the deepest parts of the woods if he couldn’t even come down from the tower without her getting him first.
The end!
