Long Live Princess Smartypants

Smartypants was a lovely Princess, the Princess of Totaloonia...

she loved playing with dragons and would be a mum...
but she doesn't want to have a typical marriage for a princess...

She thought and asked to her mother, the queen about the possibility to be mummy without being married, but...

the Queen of Totaloonia only thought about her forthcoming art exhibition of knitting... and she said:

I'm putting you in charge of the banquet for the Grand Opening of my show. Make sure there's plenty of Royal Brown Gravy!

Princess Smartypants was thinking how she can cook this sauce... and the best solution was order a packet of ready-mix brown gravy...

RECIPE

                               1.- Mix contents with half a litre of milk.

                               2.- Stir violently over a red-hot heat.

                               3.- Add plenty of pepper.

                               4.- Leave to "rise" under a damp cloth.

The conversation with the grocer it would be wrong, because the result...
The good new? She has a baby!

The day of the Grand Opening arrived...

and the "little baby" wrecked the exhibition...

except for the evil Count Rottenghut, the wicked uncle!!!

WHY???

he snatched the baby to the castle because he thought that it would be just the secret weapon that he with Prince Swashbuckle need...

The Prince SWASHBUCKLE WAS A TOAD!!!

Do you remember that the Princess loved playing with dragons?
she went to the Castle Creep with her friends "The Dragons" and got back to Totaloonia with the baby and show the bad face of her wicked uncle...
the Queen was very proud about her daughter...

"OH GOOD, I`M GLAD YOU'RE SO BRAVE, BECAUSE YOU CAN RULE..."

the Queen went to her exhibition on a world tour and the Princess was the person who ruled the kingdom...

and she learned that is easier than take care a baby...

for this reason she thought...

"PERHAPS SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST NOT CUT OUT TO HAVE BABIES"

The Princess Smartypants spoke with her Dragon friend, Amazonia...
She took care an egg as Amazonia said her. Princess Smartypants must sleep on it for a weed.

Finally the Princess Smartypants was a very good mum of a baby and two little dragons, Pongo & Bongo...

And she could say "I've got every little things under control!"
