Once upon a time there was a fabulous castle. Every time you went inside you were granted a wish. There was an evil dragon guarding the door. The generous king and queen and the princess lived in the castle and couldn't get out. The prince was outside and couldn’t get in. He must get the 3 magic keys to open the door, a bronze, silver and gold. There is a sword stuck in a giant rock that is floating in lava that surrounds the castle. It is the only thing that can slay the dragon. |

The Prince quickly set off on his fast horse, Trojan, to find a very clever Wizard that he knew. The Wizard made a spell, which turned the lava into solid rock and pushed the sword out so he could grab it. Then the Wizard showed the prince a map of how to find the three magic keys.
The Prince followed the map and found himself in a dark, mysterious cave. He was surrounded by metal boxes. He put his hand to where he kept his dagger, but instead he found a piece of paper. On the paper was written,
“Thou who holds the magic sword shall have the power to find the three keys. If thou choosest the wrong box thou shallst be poisoned by the black cobra with red eyes.”
The Prince nervously opened the first box. Inside was the bronze key. He chose another box and inside was the silver key. He chose a third box and inside was …. THE BLACK COBRA WITH RED EYES! He felt its fangs sink into his arm and at the same time felt himself getting older and older.
The prince chose another box and this time he found the golden key. He knew he didn’t have much time as he was getting older every minute. He rode Trojan as fast as possible to the castle. The magic sword felt heavy for an old man. He slowly lifted it and the dragon tripped over the rocks and fell on the sword. The dragon was DEAD

The prince had to find something to cure the poison because the guard at the door did not recognize him. The guard finally said, “If you can answer three special questions you can pass through the door.” The prince answered them but he was too old to move those last three steps .Some magic trees ran up and helped him. After using his keys and stepping through the door he started getting younger .He made a wish to know where the princess was locked up and found out she was in the dungeon. He quickly unlocked the door to the dungeon and released the king and queen. The three of them carried the weakened princess outside. The prince tried, but could not awaken her. Finally the wizard appeared on Trojan’s back. He told the prince to kiss the princess three times, on the nose. He did this and she awakened.
The prince and princess were then married and they all lived happily ever after at the castle.
