This is my 9-year-old Granddaughters' version:
In the countryside, there was a big house full of 3 things: sLaves, cooks and workErs. And of course the MasteR and Missus themselves. Oh, and lots of stuff. The big house had lots of holes and places between rooms in the walls. So, in the walls lived lots of mice. Slaves, cooks and worker mice just like the real house but of course, everything was much smaller and cuter. The king and queen mice, or leaders, would have their own special maid or righthand mouse.
There was a King who was very cruel, always boasted about things, ate lots, bossed people around and took no notice of helpless villagers asking for supplies. Whereas the Queen, who was gentle and kind, helped others and was gentle with her people. In the King's favourite place, his garden, was a beautiful apple tree which he had painted the trunk white to repel the pests.
This is my version:
Liam had put on a fair bit of wEight in Recent months. So his wife, Lisa, had put him on a strict diet. Liam grumbled to Lisa "You are cruel to me not letting me have any bacon sarnies and doughnuts and instead give me two crackers and Marmite which does tend to repel me". Lisa merely shrugged her shoulders and tucked into her baked potato with chicken supreme with coleslaw side.
