A Girl Not Named Lady

Time once upon there was a young girl and a young born that did not get married young. Why they were not married young, well that is a longer story.
There was once a girl. Who was not a boy, She was poor. She was not rich. Her name was not Emma. Her name was not Jane. Her name was not Phil. Her name was not Lady. But we forgot her name so we will just call her Lady. But that was not her name.
Lady was not rich, but we have already pointed that tid-pit out. She was pretty. I don’t think we have said that yet. In fact, she was not ugly. Surprising, I know.
One day she was walking back from her job in a factory in NYC. When she did not, not meet a very handsome young man. And guess what…he wasn’t ugly.
He was in fact not a very poor young man. In fact, he was very rich. His father owned the factory where they lived.
He and she started meeting secretly together because they knew their parents would never approve. One day thought when they were meeting. The young man’s, whose name was not young man mind you, came in to check up on him, he saw the two of them together and forbid them ever to talk again. Two months later, the young man did not find himself happily married to the one he loved, instead he was married to a woman, who name was not Mary, who was his cousin. She was also fifteen years older than him.
Fifty years later, Lady married a man.
That she knew as a young man.

The Sadie and Elizabeth Letters (Part One)

August 9th 1909
Dear Sadie,
I have just arrived in New York City. My family is taking a vacation here. Isn't that nuts? Most people try to get away from New York during the summer because it is so hot, but no my family goes there during the summer. We are going to visit my aunt that lives in the city. My mother also wants to shop for things for the new house. New York is HUGE! I can see so many new people here and it is so interesting. There is so much to do! I shouldn't ever be bored during my stay here.
My house in New York State is nice. It is very large and very roomy in is also just a six hours ride from the city. I still miss all of you guys in North Carolina. I can't believe we had to move! It has only been two weeks but I still miss you all very, very much. I don't have much time left to write. My mom wants me to go shopping with her for some new things for the house. Tell me what everyone is up to and that doesn’t mean just telling me that there hasn't been a lot going on because when you say that I know your lying.
Your Friend,
Elizabeth Montgomery
P.S. My mom says that we may come back to visit next summer! That is so far away! And please tell me about the people who are moving into my old house.

A Great Tragedy

Time once upon, there were two cousins, Ann and Joy. When Joy was 7 her parent died and she moved in to live with Ann, her well-to-do cousin. During the summer, they met two brothers. The oldest, the heir to the family fortune, name was Gill. And the younger ones name was Finn. The two boys  were staying at their uncle and aunt’s house for the summer. Eventually, love bloomed between the cousins and brothers, Joy with Finn and Gill with Ann.
When the summer was over, Finn and Gill went home to be with their parents. Finn asked his parents permission to marry Joy.
“Honey, we have already made plans with a wealthy family we know that you will marry their daughter. This way, when your brother inherits the family wealth, you will be well-off when we are gone.” His parents told him with sympathy. Finn was highly distraught at the news he couldn’t be with his love.  
Come December, Finn was preparing the met the girl he was going to marry. He looked out the window to see Joy and her cousin, Ann arrived. He was very surprised at this and ran downstairs to greet them.
“Son,” his mother said, “Meet your betrothed, Ann.”
To his great dismay he could do nothing about it.
“Gill,” their mother continued, “This is, Joy. You two are also betrothed to be married.”  
That summer the brothers were married to each other’s loves. The couples nearly went insane from seeing each other’s loves with another. The cousins began to hate each other because they were married to the ones they loved and the brothers no longer wished to speak to another because of their envy. After a year of marriage, the two couples decided to go on a vacation to Africa. They all boarded the ship together for the long six week ride.
In Africa, while they were on a safari, Joy went out to get a better view of a giraffe when a lion attacked her and killed her. Finn was devastated. They quickly left Africa. On the way back Ann found out she was pregnant. But on the way back the boat crashed kill both her and Finn.
Gill went back and shut himself up in a small house in London and stayed separated from the rest of the world until he died at the age of 101.

The Perfect Princess

Once upon a time there was a princess. And she was as perfect as a princess could get. She lived in a palace with her mother and father, the queen and king. She was also engaged to the most handsome prince. He was also rich, kind, and very smart. 
One day she was walking through the woods and she met a little green frog. He told the young beautiful princess, "if you give me a kiss I will turn into the car of your dreams." So she bent down and gave him a kiss.
He then turned into a ugly rusted out minivan and ran over her. Then he turned into the ugliest little ape you had ever seen. He was dressed up in a ugly green coat with a sword. He then went to the palace and stabbed the king in the heart and pushed the queen off a cliff into a deadly waterfall.
Two weeks later the prince that was engaged to the dead princess came to marry her and when he heard that she was dead, he fell over and died of a broken heart.

Dear Johnny

Once upon a time there was a girl named Samantha Pislik. While she was walking in the park on a sunny summer day, she met a guy named Johnny Melek. It was love at first sight. Johnny was a missionary to Turkey and Samantha was a pretty jerk. She was upset because he spent all his time helping orphans and widows (she hated spiders). He went back to Turkey for a missionary trip that would last for three months. He promised he would come back and marry her when he returned. He even gave her a ring made of grass.
While he was away, Samantha met a wealthy gentleman jerk. His name was Peter Zengin. She burnt Johnny’s ring and married Peter. She sent Johnny a text message that read: “Dear Johnny...That is your name right? Anyway…I am getting married to this really rich guy!!! AHH! I am so excited! :) See you soon then, Samantha.”
The angelic Johnny was upset at the news of his beloved married to another. He threw his phone in the fire and it exploded in his face. He was left forever blind.
Meanwhile, Elephants stole Samantha’s husband, Peter’s, money. He went into extreme shock and died. Samantha was extremely sad because she had no more money.
One day at the park on a cold winter day, she saw Johnny and waved. But he didn’t respond so she assumed he was ignoring her. Feeling sorry for what she had done she went up to him and gave him a big hug. Startled, the blind Johnny yelled and knocked her to the ground. Shocked and distraught by his response, Samantha ran away crying.
