The City Whom Lived Under The Sea
Once upon a time, in as land once known as Atlantis, there was a king, which everyone loved. He had a son and a daughter, whose mother died several years ago in a tragic accident of mass proportions. The father had no force of discipline on them, because he believed the death of their mother was hard on them, so these children were ill mannered. He also believed that because they were “heart-broken” from their great loss they misbehaved.
That was not the case. The children did not love their mother, because she only married their father because of his wealth. She treated them poorly, never gave them money for food, clothes, ect. She didn’t even take them on family trip with her and the king. Thus the death of their mother was not sad event; but more of a joyous one.
The king’s daughter would be turning 21 in the next couple of weeks, and everyone knows, boy, girl, old, or young, that at age 21 you are then to be told not to eat from the forbidden vegetable garden, outside city limits. The surrounding cities were jealous of Atlantis because of their delicious crop and meat. So they created the garden which was lush, green, and full of life, but really anyone over the age of 21 who took a bite would die. So the rule was anyone who turns 21 must be told of the rule and abide.
Barney, the princess, had her birthday ball, and more importantly had the talk with her dad about the forbidden vegetable garden. He told her all about the dangers of it; she even promised him that she would never ever go near the garden. Later that day, Barney got bored, so she asked her father if she could go on a carriage ride. So with her father’s permission, Barney and the carriage driver went for a long ride out of the city limits.
All of a sudden she saw a lush and yummy looking garden, when she asked the carriage driver what the name of the place was he said, “Uh…. It’s…. the Atlantian’s royal garden!” With that, Barney ordered him to take her there immediately and let her out, and so he did so. When the carriage stopped Barney hoped out and ran inside the garden, plucked a red, ripe, scrumptious tomato, then took a HUGE bite. Immediately after taking the bite she felt dizzy and collapsed. She was dead. At the same moment that had happened, Barney’s older brother Elmo ran away from home.
His father had sent guards out looking for him, but they couldn’t find him. Meanwhile the carriage driver was actually a thief who ran away with all her money
