So prince's come from all over the land trying to tell a story better then the Princess. Three brothers come and the two oldest fail at the task and so the third brother named boots gives it a try. He was successful and after a long story of how his farm is better then hers she finally says "That's a Story" and they get married and live happily ever after.
Readers Reaction: Not going to lie when I first read this fairy tail I was really confused and didn't really understand what I was reading. It was hard to read because of the language.
Potential Problems: Teaches Children it is ok to lie and make up stories. Hard to read because of the language.
Recommendations: Read it to the child, don't let the child read it its hard to understand.
