Once upon a time,there was a little boy who wanted to meet the king.He set off,walking towards the king’s castle.After many years of walking,the king’s castle came into his view.However,as the boy drew closer to the outside of the castle,the guards took notice of him.

“Get out of here!” commanded the guards.

Well,the little boy didnt have to be told twice.He turned...and ran right away.All he wanted to do was to tell the king wonderful things,and see all the beautiful things in the king’s house.But he couldn’t even get near the castle! The boy finally stopped running,sat down and cried.

A young man happened to be coming down the path at the very moment.He saw the little boy and came up.“What’s wrong,young man?” he asked.

“Sir,I walked and walked just to see the king.But these guards made me frightened.I wanted to tell the king how lovely everything is and just tell the king that I just wanted to see him!”

The man looked at the little boy thoughtfully.“Look,why don’t you try again.Don’t lose heart.I’ll come with you this time.”

The little boy got up and took the man’s hand.The king’s guards spotted them.

“Look,mister,we don’t have to do this...I don’t want you to get hurt.We can just turn around now.”

The man held the little boy’s hand and went on.The boy really thought the man might be crazy until he looked back up at the guards.They were all smiling now.The little boy was surprised.

“Who are you?” asked the little boy in surprise.

“Why,I’m the king’s son.You can enter the castle and be with the king,” said the man.

The little boy broke into a huge smile.
