Gertrude was enjoying a warm summer day with all of his identical brothers and sister. They were all having fun playin cards and craking jokes with one another. It wasn't long before Gertrude reolized he had forgotten to apply lotion to his terrible sunburn. For all Solo's skin was very white and the rays from the sun where not kind to them. He skipped along merrily oblivious to the fact that he was being watched, and hunted by a huge hand from the sky! Gertrude sensed somthing wasn't right, as a large shadow gazed over him. He turned around franticly to see what was wrong, but it was too late. The hand swooped him up faster than the blink of an eye. The pain from the hand touching his sunburn was more than he could bear and soon passed out.

Grahfeeky was an young african princess who was known for her beauty. She noticed it was a beautiful day and decided to ask her father if she could take a leasurely stroll around the countryside. He agreed to let her go but warned her to stay away from the rocky mountains in the north. For she had a rare disease that made her bones very week. She oblidged and began her walk not aware of what she would run into along the way.


Grahfreeky was not walking for long beofre she noticed a figure off in the distance. She was feeling a little adventurous so decided to go check it out. As she got closer she discovered it was a young boy about her age uncouncious in the sand. She leaned over and spit water in his face to wake up the young fellow. As he awoke he was very confused, and didn't remember much. As he laid in the sand his memory slowly started to return to him and he reolized that he had been taken from his family and thrown very far away. Gertrude explained his situation to the princess, and they began thinking of where his home was in relation to where they were. Grahfreeky noticed the young boys sunburn and knew that he must be from over the the moutains to the north, for that was the only place that the sun could have such an effect on ones skin. The boy thanked her a began to get up to start he journey, but when he did he noticed he had broken his leg. He would need aid from someone if he was going to make the trip back home. The princess was taller than him and felt sorry so she agreed to carry him home, regardless that her father had told her to stay clear of the mountains.

So their journey began, days turned into nights and nights turned into days until they finnally reached the mountainside. Grahfreeky was very cautious the whole way up and the whole way down. It wasn't long before they reached Gertrudes small town. Everybody was very excited to see him. He told them the whole story of how Grahfreeky had carried him all the way back and if it wasn't for he he would have perished in the sun. They all thanked the princess and wished her a safe trip back and insisted she let them know that she had gotten back safely. She agreed and began the long trip home. Many months passed with no letter from Grahfreeky, until one day Gertrude recieved word that she had tripped on her journey back and shattered into many peices. The whole town was crushed. But they soon got over it.
