Story rec

I must pimp this story about a distinctly eastern dragon. In fact I must quote it verbatim under the lj cut:

The Dragon Saes the Day - A Story

One day a princess wes capcherd

The Dragon fot wthi the pessen who capcherd her.

They wer scard of the Dragon.

They gave up and ran awaey.

At last the princess was fry.

They leavd happily arver after.

They end.


Note that the pessen in question is a prince. Lucky that some 7 year olds know what's what.

(This entry eye-proofed because I dare not spell check.)

I am sorry, at first I thought the Princess was barbequed safely out of way and then the Prince got to live happily ever after with Jeepu,er, I mean, the Dragon.

This is the famous 'a little learning is a dangerous thing' aspect of English spelling. The author meant that the princess was fri, but knew that final i's are spelled y and wrote it that way, unaware of the implication that the princess had become BBQ.

Internal debate resolved: better late than never.

Happi Birthdai!
