Princess Dorinda reluctantly slank to the door and opened it a crack just wide enough for the frog to squeeze through. I guess you can come in she sighed audibly.  
  
Hopping, she let him traipse behind her to the resplendent dinning hall. “Thank you for you’re hospitality sire I’m Arthur,” the frog introduced himself.  
  
Dorinda, her father commanded Pick Arthur up and let him feast unstintingly from you’re golden plate. Yuck I won’t touch another bite she moaned again. “Be that as it maya promise is a promise,” King Morton reminded him.  
  
Now, what Dorinda Maribella and King Morton did not divine was that Arthur was not truely a frog, but a prince! You may have surmised this all ready but they hadnt read any fairy tales lately.

David Finds a Helper
That morning David said to Mother, “Why does the milkman come at night?” “He does not come at night, David,” said Mother.
“I heard him, Mother,” said David. “I heard something go clinkety, clinkety, clinkety. Father and I looked out. We saw the milkman and his truck. 
It was just like night.” 
“Maybe it was dark,” said Mother, “but it was morning. Most people are not up when the milkman comes.”
 “I would be afraid to go out in the dark like that,” said Ann.
 Mother said, “The milkman is not afraid. He wants to help people. If he were afraid we would have no milk for breakfast. Most people want milk for breakfast. The milkman brings it to them.”
“That is kind of him,” said David.
“Is he one of our helpers, Mother?”
“I wish I could talk to him some day,” said David.
“I would thank him for all he does for us.”
Then David and Ann said good-by to Mother and Baby Mary. Away they ran to school.
