Story
Once upon a time there were two brothers who were in a frantic tug-of-war over a sandwich, for they were very hungry.

“You are never going to be boyfriend material if you act like common idiots over food,” said the young princess sitting by the hydrangeas scribbling the alphabet on her tablet.

The brothers immediately stopped arguing and turned to the younger girl, their sister. “We’re princes, potato-head,” the older one said. “We don’t have to be boyfriend material.”

“Right!” The boys clapped hands in a high five.

The princess merely rolled her eyes and continued working on her lessons. “You keep thinking that. I’ll keep thinking in general. We’ll see who comes out best.”
