Okefinoke

There once was a place called Okefinoke. The people there were very nice, especially the princess of Okefinoke. Her name was princess Kandy. Every year, she would throw a party at her castle and invite everyone in the land to go. Everyone thought that princess Kandy was the fairest lady of them all. Every man in Okefinoke wanted to marry her. The only thing was that princess Kandy was under a spell. She had really bad breath! Princess Kandy must have tried every single mint, gum, toothpaste, gargle, and dentist on earth to cure her halitosis. No luck. Even though she was pretty, she had a breath that would make the flowers die. One day, princess Kandy had enough. She was going to cure her halitosis once and for all. That night, she was awoken by a strange noise in the kitchen. She went to the kitchen and saw her fairy godmother cooking. “What are you doing here?” princess Kandy asked. “I am baking a cake, my dear.” Said the fairy godmother. “But why?” princess Kandy asked. “You’ll see,” the fairy godmother replied. Soon enough, the fairy godmother finished baking the cake. She gave it to princess Kandy and said, “Here, eat this at 12:00 tonight and tomorrow go kiss a willing man to marry you and the spell will be broken. Your halitosis will be cured.” Princess Kandy thought that this was a silly idea, but she ate the cake at 12:00 midnight and then she went to bed. The next day, she had a really bad stomach ache but she took some Tums and she felt better. While she was at the marketplace, she saw this handsome fellow. She snuck up on him and she kissed him. The handsome fellow thought at first that her bad breath was unbearable, but then her breath tasted like mint leaves, so half way through the kiss, she had a fresh breath. Two months later, princess Kandy and the handsome fellow, who’s name turned out to be Rick, got married and princess Kandy and her husband, Rick, lived happily ever after.
