(A note from Queen Mommy...Today, Nutmeg put her little brother, Laddy, down for a nap all by herself. She decided to tell him a story to help him relax and go to sleep. This is a story similar to the one she told...as is the case with all good storytellers, she wasn't able to tell the story the same way twice!  )
Once upon a time, there was this huge castle on this mountain. In the castle lived a prince named Laddy. And Prince Laddy went to his mommy, the queen's room and he said, "Hello, Mommy." And then he went to his daddy's room (the two rooms aren't set apart, but there is this bathroom and there is the door beside the sink beside the faucet) and said, "Hello, Daddy." Then he went to his sisters' room (Princess Nutmeg & Princess Sunshine) and then they wanted to go outside. So, they ran to the door, but just then, a clap of thunder started to sound. And then they got scared and they ran into Prince Laddy's room and hid under the covers.
And then, Prince Camoboy went in to see what was going on. He saw the covers that were lumpy and he went under the covers and saw Princesses Nutmeg & Sunshine and Prince Laddy. He asked them what was going on. They said, "We heard a lot of lightening and thunder and we ran into Laddy's room." And Prince Camoboy said, "Now I see!"
Then, Queen Mommy & King Daddy ran into the room and said, "Did you get scared of the lightening and thunder?" And they said, "Uh-huh. We got so scared that we ran into here." And then they understood.
And then, another clap of thunder and lightening struck a tree twenty miles away. They were happy that it didn't hit the castle.
They were kind of bored. They wanted to go up to the tower above Laddy's room. And up at the tower, there were lots of bags of clay. Then, they decided to go up there and make something out of the clay. They made this huge castle out of the clay and showed it to their mommy and daddy.
Then, it stopped raining. They went outside and played. They played tag.
