Good news, everyone!

OK, Brain. What is UP with the whole fairy tale thing? Is it because I keep refusing to write anything? Are you going stir-crazy up there?

What about The Eleven Dancing Princesses and their Eccentric Brother? Possibly alternate title, The Little Gardner Boy?

Please somebody tell me it's been done so I can not think about it anymore.

When he reached the castle, Steven went straight to the gardener and offered his services. Now it happened that the garden boy had just been sent away, and the Star Gazer looked very sturdy, the gardener agreed to take him, as he thought that his pretty face and golden curls would please the princesses.

The first thing he was told was that when the princesses got up he was to present each one with a bouquet, and Steven thought that if he had nothing more unpleasant to do than that he should get on very well.

Accordingly he placed himself behind the door of the princesses' room, with the twelve bouquets in a basket. He gave one to each of the sisters, and they took them without even deigning to look at the lad, except Tony, their brother, who fixed him large brown eyes as soft as velvet on him, and exclaimed, `Oh, how pretty he is--our new flower boy!' The rest all burst out laughing, and his eldest sister pointed out that a prince ought never to lower himself by looking at a garden boy.

Now Steven knew quite well what had happened to all the princes, but notwithstanding, the beautiful eyes of the Prince Tony inspired him with a violent longing to try his fate. Unhappily he did not dare to come forward, being afraid that he should only be jeered at, or even turned away from the castle on account of his impudence.

See? SEE?!?! *grumbles*
