Back in the Days of....

I prefer not to act old (yet), by refering to myself... so, Back in the days of when Europe was at her prime there lived a servant girl. She hadn't always been a servant. She was born the daughter of a normal farmer in England, when the king of the time (who's name has been lost in the passing down of this ancient tale) sent some servants to go around and collect small children to come and be trained to serve the king. Well, this girl was taken from her home as a small toddler and had grown up waiting upon the spoiled princess. The servant did not like the princess, but she knew that she would get in trouble if she voiced her opinion, and so every day she woke up at dawn and prepared the princess' royal bath, started and fire and made sure her room was clean, even though the princess was very messy. As soon as the princess' room was clean, the servant girl would spent the rest of the morning in the stables, with the horses. She was SUPPOSED to stay in the princess' bedroom till she awoke, but the princess was often hungover from the night before, and slept a long time. So every day, the servant went and cared for the horses, whom she loved, and was often met by her friend Tom, who was the stable boy. They talked and laughed until, the girl heard her bell, and she had to run swiftly up to the princess to attend to her every need. She would have to clean her room all over again, help the princess dress, and hear her every complaint while she piled her ever-changing hair up on top of her head.
One day, the girl decided she was sick and tired of the princess, so she took a horse, and her and her friend Tom, ran away from the palace, got married, and they lived happily ever after.
(OK that was a really dumb story, but the bell's gonna ring and that's more that 100 words).
Oh, and of course the servant girl got to wear pretty, long dresses till the day she died, and even then she was burried in a pretty pink dress with silk and flowers on it.
