Once upon a time there was a pretty princess by the name of Mikaela that was so beautiful everyone envied her beauty. Princess Mikaela was a humble princess that believed animals were all a work of art and she tried to capture their beauty in everything she did. Mikaela would draw the animals she would see on her walks or take pictures of them with her camera.


It was a beautiful summer morning and Princess Mikaela decided she would take a walk on the trail to look for animals to take pictures of as this was one of her favorite things to do. Not long into Princess Mikaela's walk did she spot the prettiest animal of all.......

Princess Mikaela had stumbled upon a beautiful Tree Frog with bright green skin and big round red eyes. This tree frog was so beautiful and unlike stories of princesses kissing frogs in search of a prince- Princess Mikaela only wanted to take it's picture. So she pulled out her camera and just as she snapped the picture.....

Picture of a pelican

Just as Princess Mikaela snapped the picture down swooped a large white pelican and the Tree Frog was gone. Princess Mikaela screamed "Oh no, poor frog it was so pretty-bad pelican, bad pelican!" The pelican landed just a head of her and looked back at her while she was shouting undisturbed.


Princess Mikaela was so sad the pelican had eaten the beautiful Tree Frog but at least she was able to capture a picture of the Tree Frog before the pelican ate him. After all it's the circle of life.

The End.
