Braveheart Ben
The Great Leap Forward
Book 18 in the Ben series.
Once upon a time.. there lived a king in a far
away land of Ladie-Land.
He was a magical king, who lived in a castle
above the ground. He always
had good weather. It was never to hot or too
cold, and he loved his home.
But one day his parents came to him in
a dream....
"Son, you have grown up. You must build
yourself a new castle. In a new
land."
"Dad, Mom, how could I leave all these
wonderful things, my friends, my
home, Everything I love?"
"Son, you must move on, no matter how hard.
We know you can do it."
"I understand... Wish me luck!"
"We love you!"
So the king sold his last few cows and
bought a magic carpet, to fly to
a strange new world. He packed what ever fit
on the carpet and flew away.
After flying for an entire day, the king
decided to rest the night at a
valley in the mountains. He parked by a cottage
where Marvin the
Marvelous and his Magnetic Mistress lived. The
king was so impressed with
them he decided to stay.
In the Morning Marvelous Marvin Mentioned
a Machine for Making Magic
Mallets. The king was impressed, he would need
a mallet to make his
castle. Mr. Marvin Mimicked MagicMax, a store
for Making Mallets. For
months the king made the perfect mallet. When
it was done, the king
summoned Marvin, and asked if he knew of a place
to find stone. Madly
Marvin Mumbled "superMarket".
As the year ended, the king missed his
home in the sky, and the warm
weather, everything about Ladie-Land. He knew
he was learning here, it
may not be better now, but soon he would have
enough supplies, and would
go on another Mission to find others to help
him in his life.
And maybe next time the snow melts and
summer returns, we will see The
Magical King flying through the air once again,
on his new mission, for
his new Castle.
THE END (maybe)
