Princess Merida (Brave)

King Fergus and Queen Elinor ruled the kingdom of DunBroch in Scotland. They had three sons and one
daughter, the beautiful Princess Merida. All four children were mischievous! Queen Elinor tried to teach
Merida how to behave like a perfect princess. But Merida liked to slip away from the palace to practice
with her bow and arrow. She was a skilled archer. One night, the queen announced that three clans
were coming to visit. Each would present a suitor to compete for Merida’s hand in marriage. Merida was
horrified. “I won’t go through with it!” she shouted.

To Merida’s dismay, the suitors arrived as planned. Merida sat waiting on her throne for the archery
contest to begin. She knew she could handle a bow and arrow far better than the suitors could! Once
the suitors had taken their shots, Merida marched onto the field. The queen yelled for her to stop, but
Merida didn’t listen. She fired her arrows and hit each target dead center. She had won! Now she
wouldn’t have to marry anyone! Queen Elinor was furious at Merida for ruining the contest. She warned
that things needed to be set right.

“Merriage is what YOU want!” Merida shouted. Then she slashed the tapestry that depicted her family
and ran away. Merida fled deep into the woods where mysterious blue will o’ the wisps led her to a
cottage. Inside, she found a witch. Merida begged her to change her mother. The Witch gave Merida a
speel cake. Back at the castle, Merida presented the cake to her mother. She watched closely as Elinor
took a bite. At first, nothing happened. But then, Elinor began to feel sick. Merida helped Elinor into bed.
The next thing Merida knew, a huge, furry shape was rising from the sheets! The Witch’s cake had
turned Elinor into a bear! Worried her mother was in danger, Merida sneaked her out the castle.
Merida and Elinor-Bear first went to the Witch’s cottage and only found a message : “Fate be

changed, look inside, mend the bond torn by pride. ”Merida would need time to figure out its meaning,
but for now, she needed to teach her mother to fish! Merida realized that to mend the bond and break
the spell, she must repair the tapestry she had torn. After sneaking into the castle, Merida and her
mother were discovered by King Fergus. The king drew his sword. “It’s not what you think!” Merida
cried.

The king wouldn’t listen. He slashed at the bear, who struck back, knocking him to the ground. The noise
drew the visiting lords and their sons. Terrified, Elinor-Bear raced from the castle. Merida grabbed and
needle and thread and the tapestry then jumped on her house. She took her little brothers, too. They
had eaten the spell cake and turned into bear cubs! Merida sewed as they all raced to save their mother.
When Merida arrived, she wrapped the mended tapestry over her mother. “I want you back, Mum,”
Merida cried. “I love you”.

King Fergus was shocked to realize the bear was his beloved wife. Merida felt a hand brush her hair. The
spell had been broken! Elinor was human once again. The triplets were no longer bears. The queen
smiled at Merida. From then on, Merida could be a princess AND be herself.

One day, at the farm there was a hen with her 7 eggs. The one of those eggs was too big for the usual
hen’s egg. The hen did not understand how she had that egg but she still took care of it.
At one morning, all of those eggs cracked. There were six cute yellow chicks and one big black and ugly
chick.

The mother did not understand why one of his chicks was too big and black and ugly. That ugly chick
also grew too fast than the other six chicks.

All chicken at that farm laughed at that ugly chick and every day they mocked him.

That ugly chick was so sad. He felt different and ugly and he was so shy of his appearance.

One day, the ugly chick decided to run away from the farm.

He asked the other bird about his kind but there was no bird knew about him. He was more and more
sad and lonely.

He walked slowly near the river to get food. He saw his appearance at the river and it was true that he
was so ugly and different from the other chicks.

When the ugly chick went alone, a man come and caught him. The man took it home and kept it in a
stall.

Every day that man gave some food and water for that ugly chick. He was saved actually but he felt
alone inside that stall.

outside the stall.

The chick grew bigger and he did not know how long he had been in the stall so far.

He did not know yet how he looked like after he grew bigger.

What he knew was that all chickens on that farm were afraid of him. That made him became more and
more sad and felt ugly.

One day, the man released him outside that stall because its stall was not enough for his size.

He can feel a little bit happier because finally he could walk around.

He saw a big and beautiful bird came close to him. That bird was as big as him and has so very beautiful
feather. He was afraid and the he run away.

Near the pool at that farm, finally he can see his appearance. He was the same with the big bird he had
seen before.

Then he understood that he was not a chicken but a bird. Then he came to that bird and asked about his
kind. He told all of his sad stories to that bird.

He was a beautiful peacock with his new family.
