Once upon a time, there was a beautiful kingdom with a big castle. In the castle lived a prince who was as thin as a stick and as sweet as sugar. One day, he met an ugly witch who was as fat as a pig and as stinky as garbage. The witch offered the prince a potion that would make him the most handsome prince in the kingdom.
But the prince was smart, so he asked the witch if the potion was clean or dirty. The witch, who was always up to no good, said that it was dirty.
The prince, who wanted to stay pure and clean, declined the offer and instead offered the witch a drink from his own fountain of pure water.
The witch, who was used to drinking dirty water, was shocked at how sweet and clean the water was. She drank it all up, until the fountain was empty.
And with that, the witch transformed into a kind and beautiful person, no longer stinky and fat. From then on, the former witch and the prince became the best of friends, always keeping themselves and their kingdom clean and full of love. The end.
