Midnight struck and the coach became a pumpkin (Friday Fictioneers)

“Mum! Mum… What’s that?”
“Oh, um. That’s a foot, Darling.”
“Someone’s foot? Who does it belong to?”
A glance around showed a relatively empty city square. Too early for office lunch crowds, the air bit at their throats and made their noses drip. “Well, uh… Cinderfella of course.”
“Who?” Giant eyes grew rounder.
“Poor Cinderfella. His fairy godmother helped him get to the ball but alas midnight came, and he had to leave the Princess behind…”
“Will she find him, Mum?”
“I’m sure the Princess will hunt forever and ever to find him.”
“Princesses are awesome.”
“You’re so right, Jimmy.”

Princesses are awesome 🙂
They are indeed!! 😊
My granddaughter has been a princess for the past two years. They are awesome!
Awww that’s so cute Liz. Moana and Mulan, Shuri and Leia are my kind of princesses!!
Ha! I love this. Cinderfella indeed.
Hahaha thanks Alicia! It would make a fun tale I think 😂
Yes, it certainly would.
Cinderfella… saw a play called that and it was just as funny as this.
Hahahaha those Pantos are the best!! Such fun. Thanks Dale
I love the way you changed the story around. Brilliant. Loved it!
Thank you!!! It was a bit of fun.. I wouls totally read it too 😉
Wow! What a great way of breaking gender stereotypes so early one. Loved it.
Thank you. I find kids are great. You just tell them and they are like… Yup whatever. Hahaha
Nice one Laurie!
Click to read my FriFic tale
Thanks Keith!
I’m sure they will find him, one step at a time. I do wonder though, if children can unfathomed the little white lies that enhance their imagination? Fun read.
Hmmm I wonder…
Mum is pretty quick on her feet, I’d say…. Nice one.
Hahaha yup. Its a great story 😉
What a great response to the photo prompt! 🙂
Thank you Gwen. I really had fun with it. 😁
What a lovely story. I never head of Cinderfella. Great idea.
Oh yes…. peels of laughter in Panto. But I think it would also make a great fairytale
Dear Laurie,
Such a cute story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle! 😊
Cute story, I enjoyed reading this
Thanks Michael! 😊
🙂 Love Mum’s quick thinking there. I don’t imagine Jimmy ever gets bored at home.
She’s definitely got some great Mommy skills! And nice swap of the glass slipper for the artificial leg! It does not seem to bother the child one bit that the hero is missing part of his leg. That’s raising the next generation right!
Thank you!! Oh yes, anyone can be a hero of a story!
Hahaha I hope so!! 😊
