One day, princess Jenny found a silkworm under a mulberry tree. She thought it was cute and thought it would make a great pet. She picked it up carefully without dropping it and went back to her castle. She didn’t know that the silkworm was magical!
“I’ll put you in a container,” Jenny said, putting the silkworm into a pickle jar. Then she went to sleep. When she was sleeping the silkworm quickly spun silk and made a gown. When Jenny woke up she saw a beautiful gown made out of the silkworm’s cocoon. It shimmered in the light. When the king and queen saw the gown they were amazed.
“Who made this glamorous gown?” the queen said, smiling.
“I don’t know, mother,” said Jenny.
Out of nowhere, the Silkworm Prince appeared and said, “I made it out of my silk.” The Silkworm Prince closed his eyes while he was talking.
“How?” said the King.
“Well I am a silkworm,” said the Prince.
The parents laughed and laughed until they had cramps. The King and Queen did not believe the Silkworm Prince. “He’s dumb,” said the King.
“And he’s useless too,” said the Queen.
“But I am a silkworm!” said the prince.
“I trust you!” said Jenny.
“What?” said the Queen.
“I really love the Silkworm Prince,” said Jenny, “and I think I am going to have two baby girls soon.”
“Who is the father?” The King said.
“The Silkworm Prince!” said Jenny.
“YOU ARE GROUNDED JENNY!” the Queen said. “I mean it! Nothing will change my mind!”
“Noo!” Jenny yelled.
The queen was annoyed.
“I think you’re right, my love,” said the King.
While Jenny’s parents were talking, she left with the Silkworm Prince by tiptoeing out. The silkworm Prince took Jenny to a magical castle and this is where the babies were born. Only people who believed in magic could see it. People who didn’t believe in magic just walked passed it.
The King and Queen noticed Princess Jenny was gone! The king told the bravest knights to find his little girl, but the queen just panicked. The Queen said, “Where’s my baby?”
The knights looked far and near but Jenny was nowhere to be found. Rocky, one of the knight’s sons, believed in magic and other fairytales. He found Jenny in the castle.
“There you are,” said Rocky “You should go home.”
“No way! I don’t want to!” said Jenny. “My Parents are mean and cruel to the Prince and they don’t believe he is a prince!"
“Did you say a silkworm was a prince?” said Rocky.
“Do you have a problem with that?” said Jenny.
“Oh my god lady! Are you nuts?” said Rocky.
“How dare you say that to your future QUEEN,” said Jenny. “You are an insult!”
“How dare you say that to me, you you ... you ...you girly girl,” said Rocky.
Rocky kept on jabbering while Jenny slipped away and locked the door. The Silkworm Prince was right outside and was about to knock on the door. Jenny and the Prince went outside and put wheels under the castle then linked it to their car. When they were about to go, twenty guards show up and surround them. “Halt or else!” said one of the guards. Princess Jenny and the Silkworm Prince were shocked that they got caught. They thought there were no guards. Then the queen came out with the king from behind the guards. The queen took Jenny’s arm tightly and walked her back to their castle and locked Jenny in her room. The king grabbed the Silkworm and put him in the dungeon, leaving the two baby girls crying in the car.
“I will never see my Silkie again,” said Jenny, wiping a tear from her eye.
The Silkworm Prince walked back and forth in the dungeon, saying, “When will I get out of here so I can save my Honeybunch and destroy the king and queen?”
Jenny found a sharp piece of metal and scraped cement off the brick wall in her room. “I hope I’m not too late,” she said, wondering if her babies were dead. She scraped and scraped and made some bricks come loose then she pushed them out and escaped. Jenny found her babies still crying and fed them milk. She crept into her parents’ room and took ten bags of gold and the key to the dungeon and some clothes and lots of food. Jenny let the Silkworm Prince out of the dungeon and they went to the city and bought a house.
“Let’s get married,” said the Silkworm Prince.
“Ok,” Jenny said. “Let’s have a huge cake!”
