The Rooster Under the Table

<p><strong>Once upon a time in a land of magic there lived a princess who did NOT want to marry. </strong><span>She wanted to have adventures like the knights or rule a kingdom like her father. She didn't like sitting around in pretty dresses eating daintily with fancy silverware and speaking in a soft ladylike voice. And those were the only things a queen ever got to do. So she put on her overalls and sat under the table where she chatted with a rooster who gave her new ideas about how to think about herself and her future.</span> </p><p><strong>This is not your classic folktale princess.</strong></p>
