Week 20 

Tossing her golden locks Dorinda quickly turned away, why does everyone think I ought to be considerate she mumbled querulously?   

Now youve probably guessed it again, sure enough, the old lady was a fairy in disguise. Brandishing her wand, Princess Dorinda was instantly zapped into a toad. 

All that remained of the lovely lady was her crown conveniently miniaturized two fit her diminished stature and her beauty spot prominent on her high cheekbone between all the other toady wart’s. 

“That’ll teach you some manners Miss High and Mighty” the fairy snapped. “Maybe youll learn a little humbleness in your altered state! If you can ever find an honorable prince which will give you a kiss in true love you might be restored to humanity

Week 18
After the battle, sadly it was his daughter which ran to greet him not an animal as he had complacently assumed. Bound by his promise to God however he had to follow through with it.
Dorinda squirmed as she read the veracious story to Arthur, isn’t there anything a little you know happier to read, she asked hopefully?
“Sure, I know. Theres an enthralling story about healing you might enjoy reading,” he replied. “Find Luke 17,12. He tells about 10 lepers which Jesus instantly and miraculously healed!”
Good night Dorinda exclaimed in amazement. Its still daytime, Arthur wryly observed pretending not to understand her slang. 

Week 19
With interest Dorinda read the story, as Arthur indicated Jesus healed 10 leper’s. What Arthur failed to disclose was that only one demonstrated any gratitude for the kindness, only one returned to thank Jesus and glorify God.
Getting the message the book was slammed shut by Dorinda and she ignobly escaped to the palace grounds. Wandering through the gardens she approached the fateful well. Surprised she noticed someone their an old woman attempting to draw water from the deep well.
The old woman futilely tryed to turn the crank which would not budge clearly her finger’s ached and what slight strength she had in them gave way. When she heard steps the woman turned her attention to the curious princess
“Gentle Princess the woman began I’ve got rheumatism in my hands which makes it painful to draw up the brimming bucket; would you be so kind as to fetch me a cup of water?”
