A story to tell

So recently I watched some kids and one of them asked me to tell him a story. sometimes my spur of the moment stories are good and sometimes they are not. This one was pretty good. so, I thought I would share. here it is. please enjoy:

Once upon a time...

There was a little boy, who had no idea who he really was. One day while he was watching his sheep in his families field a wizard came to him. As soon as the wizard saw the little boy's brown hair, purple staff, and the little scar on the left side of his nose; he knew that he was the next Prince of Crayon-land. 

The Wizard explained to the boy that Crayon-land needed a new ruler because the people were so confused. They didn't know what color to color the sky. they didn't know what color to color grass. They didn't even know what color to color the beautiful castle. 

The boy could not believe what the wizard was saying, but he decided to try anyway. The wizard told him that he needed to walk until he found the big blue lake, then follow the path to the left until he saw the green tree, and when he saw a fork in the road, he should go to the right and there he would find the rainbow that would lead him to the world's most perfect box of crayons. 

The boy started on his journey and came to a Big lake, but it wasn't blue. The lake was white. The boy was confused and didn't know what to do until a blue bird came down. 

"Can I help?" the blue bird said

"I don't know how you can, I was looking for a blue lake, but this one is white. I don't know what to do." the boy said. 

"if you sing a song to me, I might be able to help." chirped the blue bird. 

"Okay, I try," said the boy. The boy sang. 

Blue, Blue, I love you

Blue, Blue, you are true.

Blue, Blue, I love you.

Blue, Blue, you are true to me. 

With that, the blue bird flew up into the sky and opened up his wings. Out of his wings came blue sparkles. The sparkle fell into the water and turned the lake from white to blue. 

The boy was so happy as he continued on his journey. He remembered that he had to follow the path to the left until he found the green tree. 

On the path in front of him he found a yellow tree. The boy stared at the tree and wondered if he had gotten lost somewhere. Once again the blue bird flew next to him and asked him if he could help. 

"I don't think so," the boy said, "unless you know how to turn a yellow tree to a green tree." 

"maybe, but you might want to sing again." 

"sure, why not" thought the boy. 

Blue, Blue, I love you

Blue, Blue, you are true.

Blue, Blue, I love you. 

Blue, Blue, you are true to me. 

With that the bird flew up into the air and circled the tree. The bird opened up it's wings and out came big blue sparkles. The tree magically turned from yellow to green as the blue sparkles hit it. 

"of course", said the boy" yellow mixed with blue makes green."

The boy thanked the blue bird for his help on his journey to find the world's most perfect box of crayons. 

As the boy came to the fork in the road, he could not remember which way he was supposed to go.  The boy thought and thought but somehow he could not remember, so he started to skip back and forth. He skipped back and forth so long that it started to rain. The raindrops were very little and light. As he thought about the light rain, he got an idea. 

He pulled out his flashlight and shined it into the rain, as he did a little rainbow appeared. The boy followed the rainbow and the path to the right. As the rain stopped, the rainbow disappeared and in front of him, he found the world's most perfect box of crayons. 

The boy picked up the crayons and as he did and powerful rainbow encircled him. All the colors, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red encircled him and made a beautiful multicolored coat for the new prince. And, on his head was a six point crown with different gems on top. 

And that is the story of how Crayon-land got a new prince.
