Princess Kitty and Luna

Princess Kitty will be nine this year, but unlike other birthdays, where her present list was as long as the palace corridors, this year she couldn't think of a single thing. For days she thought and paced, and paced and thought. She wrote and rubbed, and rubbed and wrote.

Luna loved her royal life, she loved her big comfortable stable with its huge cozy straw bed. She loved eating juicy grass in the fields and rolling around in the mud.

Show Day was such an exciting day for Princess Kitty, and she couldn't wait to show off her new pony to the other children. Kitty was so happy Luna looked like a shining star. The king was delighted to see Kitty looking so smart and Luna's red coat gleaming in the sunshine. They looked as elegant as any royal pair should at Show Day.
