Once upon a time there lived a princess in a tower. As all princesses in towers are, she was beautiful, but this princess was also very smart. She built the tower single-handedly, all by herself, using nothing but two magical symbols, XD and LOL. As expected, it was a magic tower with no entrance, and all the valiant knights who sought to rescue her knocked themselves silly against the magical stones, to no avail. The princess sometimes heard the loud puffing and panting of those knights all the way up in the top of the tower, but she couldn't care less. She had a pet raccoon and a pet ferret, which was all the company that she needed. That and her laptop, of course, through which she MSNed and blogged her way through to the outside world. Also, for human company she had a magical portal through which her best friends, all other princesses with their own magical towers, could visit her.

One day, she was sitting at her window, enjoying the night breeze, when a little bird, a tiny wren, flew down onto her windowsill. Thrilled, she tickled the little wren lightly so that it would sing. Of course, wrens can't sing, but the little wren was so pleased that it tried to anyway. What came out more like a squawk, but it made the princess laugh. The wren was pleased that it managed to make the princess laugh and continued to squawk some more. Just then, though, the princess's pet raccoon crawled into her lap and gave her a big, wet lick. Seeing this, the little wren grew jealous of the raccoon, because its own tongue was too short to do any proper licking. All it had was a miserable, hard beak. And it wanted to lick the princess just like the raccoon did. So, in a fit of envy, the little wren turned its back on the princess and started to pout.

The princess, of course, was so smart that she had learned how to read the thoughts of animals. She knew that the little wren felt bad because it couldn't express its love for her the way it wanted to. It wanted to lick her and make her happy but could only squawk to make her laugh. So she did the nicest thing she could: she turned herself into a wren. Overjoyed, the little wren rubbed heads songbird-style with the princess to express his love in the only way he knew how. The princess rubbed back, and together they flew off into the sunset.

Back in the tower, the raccoon noticed the princess's absence and went to find the ferret. Then it got down on one knee and declared its undying love for the ferret, mentioning in particular the ferret's energetic nature and nesting instincts. The ferret giggled and gave the raccoon a big lick.

The end. XD LOL
