Queen’s favourite
Once upon a time, there was a queen. She liked to eat oranges. One day, she gave ten stones to the servant because she wanted to eat oranges. The servant went to the market but the oranges cost eleven stones. They were only ten stones in the spring, but eleven in winter. The servant went back to the castle. The queen said “When it is spring, we will buy them again!” Time flew by and it was springtime again. The queen gave ten stones to the servant, but the oranges now cost twenty stones. He telephoned the queen. He told her everything but found that the peaches only cost ten stones. He bought the peaches and went back to the palace. He gave her the peaches and she thought they were oranges because she could not see that they were peaches. The queen said “Very yummy!” The servant told her the truth. She loved peaches very much.
