Mary Smith was walking in a park near Hometown, USA. She was watching butterflies playing in the flowers and was quite surprised when a king and queen arrived.

“We’re looking for a beautiful, young girl to become the new princess of our kingdom,” the king said.

“I’ve always dreamed about being a princess!” Said Mary.

The happy king and queen took Mary back to their castle.

“I wish Casey and Billy could see this place!” Mary said. “It’s so big you could have the whole kingdom over for a party.”

Soon, the entire castle was busy with preparations for a fancy ball to welcome their new princess. The royal dressmakers created a beautiful gown just for Mary. When she tried it on, Mary, could hardly believe her eyes. “In this dress, I really do look like a princess,” she said.

All eyes were on Mary as she made a grand entrance into the ballroom.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce Mary Smith,” the king announced.

Cheers from the crowd filled her heart with joy. Being a princess was even more wonderful than she had ever imagined.

In her glittering ball gown, Mary was the center of attention all night long.

Everyone wanted to meet the new princess and share a dance with her.

“Mary is the most beautiful princess in any kingdom,” they all agreed. By the end of the night Mary had made a lot of new friends.

When Mary awoke the next morning, the weather was warm and sunny. “You should go to the beach and have fun with your new friends,” the queen said.

“That sounds great!” Mary replied. She spent the whole day at the beach swimming and playing in the sand with her new friends.

When Mary returned from the beach the queen had a surprise for her.

“Tonight the royal dancers will perform a ballet at the castle,” she said. “And they want you to dance with them!” That night Mary was nervous but excited as the dancers began the ballet.

Soon it was time for Mary to join the ballet. She took a deep breath and stepped out on the stage. Mary heard the beautiful music playing and saw the smiling ballerinas all around her. She forgot how nervous she was and danced more gracefully than she had ever danced in her life.

Mary met the king and queen for tea the next day. She was still tingling with excitement from the standing ovation she received at the ballet.

“You are the finest princess we could ever wish for Mary,” said the queen. “We hope you will stay here with us for a very long time,” the king said.

“Then you must return to them,” replied the king. “After all, you are their princess, too.”

“We’ll miss you,” the queen said as she waved goodbye.

The royal carriage took Mary home to Hometown, USA, but she knew she would be back to visit again very soon.
