The Worst Gift Fairytale
It is December 24, 1582. There is a young boy that is a KIT (Knight in Training). This boy wants a new sword because he lost his last one in a battle. He is in his bed trying to go to sleep, because he can't wait till tomorrow because tomorrow is Christmas and hopefully his parents will give him a new sword. But the thing is, he never told his parents he lost it because he was afraid they would be disappointed because that sword cost 500 gold coins. He'd opened up his window before he went to bed so that right when the sun came up it would shine in his face and wake him up. He goes back to bed so he can fall asleep, then he wakes up and goes downstairs but nobody is awake yet so he goes to the present boxes and looks for one that could be a new sword but none of the boxes are shaped like a sword....He waits about five minutes and then "EVERYONE WAKE UP!" he screams. His mom wakes up and goes to the tree and the others come down about 10 minutes after her...."OK, come on, let's open presents." The boy sounds excited, like VERY excited. He wants to save the best for last so he opens the small one first. It's a sword sharpener....and a scabbard....but no sword. Now this boy cannot be a knight. Well, not until he buys a new sword.
