Kinda sad today and well when I am sad I write so here it goes. Like the storyteller only a new story I made up from scratch.
The Girl And The Music Box
StoryTeller: (sitting infront of the fire with his dog). One day in a far away land lived a girl. Her life was so happy and full of goodness until one day she was given a treasured music box by a well wisher. (image of an old cloaked woman with the dark haired girl). Take good care of it she said. And great things await you inside. But the girl tempted to refuse the gift would not take it. With a shake of her head the woman infront of her turned into a beautiful Queen.
Queen: Take the box my dear and all your dreams will come true.
Storyteller: Or so she said...gold...treasure. Candy. Anything she wanted the girl thought. But what was it her mother always told her.
Mother: Don't take thing's from strangers.
Storyteller: But the girl ignored her mothers voice and accepted the box, with a small curtsey she skipped inside holding the box under her arm. Later that night the girl opened the box to find nothing in there but a small coin. So shiney and small was the coin. But it made the girl smile. It was good enough for her...but then she watched as the coin became boiling hot and dropped it to the floor. Withing seconds...minutes...hours it had turned her room into a room of doors. Coloured and numbered, each with it's own picture. But what should she do? Which door first?

(fades back into view of the Storyteller and his dog).
Storyteller: She picked number one first of course. It was the prettiest door. Pink bright and beautiful. A rainbow painted on the front. But...when she tried the door...it was locked.
Dog: Locked?
Storyteller: Locked chained and bolted! (nods head firmly).
Dog: What did she do? (tilts head).
Storyteller: She tried the next door and the next and...the next. Until every door but one had been tried. She put her hand onto the door and within mere seconds it flew open. Inside it was like a fairyland. But all fairytales have villains she thought. And she was right. For there sitting in her tower was the mysterious woman who had given her the music box.
Queen: (plotting in her tower).
Storyteller: And the Queen had a plan, a horrible terrible plan to get the girls beauty.
Dog: But I thought she turned into a beautiful Queen?
Storyteller: Alright smart dog! The Queen had used that as only an illusion. Because right now in her tower she held her secret. Her true appearance.

(fades back in to the Queen plotting in her castle).
Dog: Where is she?
Storyteller: You mean the girl...ah well she had ventured into this magic land. It seemed safe enough to her. Each step she took she looked around in wonder, feeling as if anymoment a wicked witch would fly past on her broom and cackle...
Dog: As witches do. What happened next?
Storyteller: The girl walked for six hours for six days until she came upon a field of flowers. Just to smell one she thought what harm could something so pretty do.
Girl: (picks up flower and sniffs it fainting).
Dog: She fainted?
Storyteller: Out cold! The witch...I mean Queen had put a sleeping spell on the flowers. Knowing that the girl would pass them on her travels towards the castle. Finally there it was the biggest brightest castle she had ever seen. Brick walls with stained glass windows. Up in the high tower the witch...Queen had prepared a special tonic to steal the girls beauty.
Dog: If she stole it...then what would happen?
Storyteller: Who is the Storyteller? (raises his eyebrows).
Dog: You are!
Storyteller: Then we will continue wont we....
