Once upon a time, classic opening to classic stories. In these stories there are always damsiles in distress, princes that rescue, evil plots to ruin everything and of coarse happily ever after's. The story you are going to hear certainly may not be well known however it deffinatly has all of the things that make stories worth telling. There of coarse is a princess, what good story doesn't have one, the one in this tale isn't ordinary. She has long locks of chestnut hair, her eyes are the color of caramel. Her beauty is only matched by her kind heart and genteel personality. This princess's name was Lori. She was in desperate need of a prince to rescue her. You see the king and queen were always trying to control her every decision and run her life the way they planned. She wanted to meet her prince and fall in love.
