Again, thank you, Val! I've fixed the spelling, changed the font, corrected a few glitches in the story, re-hyphenated and de-hyphenated where necessary, and am ready now to start writing the next part. You're wonderful! :D

A charming tale that reminds me a little of "Beauty and the Beast" that I think would be perfect for children (of all ages)! So many messages are contained within this fairy story - the first being tolerance and perhaps the second being unconditional love, without thought of "looks" or what others might think.

Once again, Judy Colella delights us with her imagination, humor and descriptive abilities, designed to make us think, laugh and be thoroughly entertained.

If I am forced to critique this lovely short story, I would perhaps choose a different font, as this was a little difficult to read, and prevented capital letters from being formed after periods.

The word "porride" I think should be porridge.

And that's it! Another treat from Judy that readers of every age will enjoy and smile at.
