The Twelve Dancing Princesses

The girls slept in a tall tower with their beds side by side.
Every night, the king locked the tower door, so that they couldn't sneak out.
One moring, when the door was unlocked, the princesses were still asleep.
As the maid went to wake them, she noticed their shoes were lying in a soggy pile on the floor.
The shoes were worn out. When the king heard about the shoes, he was furious.
"Those girls have been out dancing," he spluttered.
"Princesses should not be out dancing all night!" he yelled at them. "
"You need your beauty sleep. You should all be ashamed of yourselves."
The girls weren't ashamed in the least. What's more, they wouldn't tell him how they had escaped or where they had been.
The next morning, it was clear that the princesses had been out again. The same thing happened seven nights in a row. The  king didn't know what to do.Then he had abrilliant idea.
He decided that the first man to discover where his daughters went each night could marry one of them. Posters went up across the land.

Today I read The Twelve Dancing Princesses, a book in the Usborne Young Reading series.
It eritten by Emma Helbrough.

Princesses are supposed to be quiet and well behaved, but the twelve princesses in this story like to have fun. When their father finds out they've been sneaking off at night to go dancing, he's furious.
"Dancing in banned!" he declares. But will that shop them?"

I think Ralph is so wise man !
In the end, he and princesses are happy, so I think this story is interesting!
Please read it.
