The Greedy King
By Sreela, 7, ON
In the castle gardens there were many rose bushes. But in one bush, there was a golden rose. People came to look for the rose. But the guards kept them away. One day, the king saw the people looking for the golden rose. “I should go look for the golden rose, too!” said the King. The King knew the golden rose could grant you three wishes. He asked one person where the golden rose was. He said it was in the third bush in the middle row. The King was really greedy when he found the rose. He wished for gold. But the king realized it wasn’t a good wish. So he took a bath and the golden touch was gone.
