Twisted fairy tales


Once upon a time there lived a beautiful witch called Laykan, but she didn't like being pretty. One day she asked her Prince Charming on the wall, "who is the ugliest of them all?"
"You are your majesty," he said, lying.
The 2nd day she asked the same thing but there was a different answer. He said "not you, you are the prettiest of them all. I'm sorry I can't help myself."
"I can't believe it!" Laykan cried. "How long have you lied to me?"
"Since you first laid eyes on me and hanged me on the wall," answered Prince Charming. "Oh and now you are the 2nd prettiest of them all. That lovely girl over there is beautiful."
"That's it!" she yelled. "This is a competition. I want to be the prettiest!" So off she went. Even though just a minute ago she said she wanted to be the ugliest. I guess she changed her mind.
When she reached the girl, she said to her "oh no little girl, your face is breaking out. Take this cream." But all that did was make the girl's face smell like a peppermint foot. Laykan was angry, so she went to the huge mansion that the seven giants owned. She peeked in the window. No one was home. She sneaked inside and went into the pretty girls room and under her pillow was her diary. Laykan grabbed it and she started to read and she found out that her name was Delaney and her weakness was cookies.
Laykan ran home and grabbed a banana and dipped it in cookie crumbs and put banana yogurt all over the top and then she waited until Delaney got home. An hour later Delaney returned and went inside and the witch knocked on the door. "I wonder who that could be?" she said and answered the door.
"Hello," said the witch in an old women voice. "Would you like a banana?"
"Oh yes please," answered Delaney. The witch handed the banana to Delany and she bit it. "Mmmm, delightful."
"What, wrong banana? Damn it," said Laykan in her head. She gives a fake smile to the girl and runs home.
When she returned the Prince Charming asked "how are you so healthy?"
"Oh I just eat lots of fruit and veggies." replied Laykan. Then she picked up the banana and took a bite out of it, but what she forgot is that she is allergic to bananas. Uh, oh! She falls to the floor and that was the last of the witch well known as Laykan.
