A Fairy Tale

(This image from the royal archives shows the actual Shoestring Prince before the deluge. It is one of the greatest works of the royal artist M. Photoshop)

Once upon a time there was a little prince.

He was born to an impoverished and deposed queen but she loved him more than any other child, prince or pauper, who had ever lived on earth.
This queen swore that somehow, someway, she would raise her son with as many of the princely perquisites as possible.

If this poor, silly queen had two working brain cells to rub together she would have bought the kid a happy meal, plopped him in front of the trusty Game Cube and left it at that...she didn't however...and this is the story of a very poor prince and how the sole remaining member of his court moved heaven and earth to gain his kingdom back for him.

Now and again, the Shoestring Prince himself may comment on just how mad his queenly mother is.
