Spunky Princess Suzie

By Christina Demaskie

Once upon a time, there was a princess named Suzie. 

She loved playing dress up and wore all things pink.

But Princess Suzie also loved to make mud pies and 

chase after bugs.

One day, Princess Suzie's friends saw her playing in the 

mud. "Why are you playing in the mud?" they asked. 

"Because it is one of my favorite things to do," Princess 

Suzie responded. "But you are a girl! You are not 

supposed to play in the mud," Princess Suzie's friends 

exclaimed. Princess Suzie felt embarrassed.

She went running back to the castle not knowing what 

to think. She had always thought that it was okay to 

play in the mud. Princess Suzie was sad and needed 

someone to talk to.

Princess Suzie fled to her mother and father. She 

told them about what had happened and asked 

them what she should do. "Oh Suzie, just 

because you are a girl, does not mean you 

cannot play in the mud," her mother said. 

Princess Suzie listened to her mother's advice. She 

realized that she could love playing in the mud just 

as much as she did playing dress up.
