Once upon a time, in a magical land filled with all sorts of fantastical creatures, there lived a mischievous sprite named Spritz. Spritz loved to play pranks on all the creatures in the land, but his favorite target was the grand castle that sat atop a hill.

The castle was magnificent, with tall spires reaching towards the sky, a beautiful portico that welcomed visitors, and a sprawling terrace that offered breathtaking views. But Spritz was determined to make the castle look silly.

One day, Spritz came up with a brilliant plan. He snuck into the castle and used his magic to create projections of silly faces all over the castle's walls. He laughed and giggled as he worked, imagining the surprise on everyone's faces when they saw the silly projections.

However, Spritz didn't realize that the projections were not just limited to the walls. They also appeared on the spires, the portico, and even on the pilasters. The once magnificent castle was now covered in silly faces, and Spritz couldn't stop laughing.

But Spritz's laughter was short-lived when he saw that the projections were not just limited to the castle. They had also appeared all over the surrounding town, causing a major setback for the residents. People were confused and scared by the sudden appearance of silly faces everywhere.

Spritz realized the error of his ways and set out to undo the magic. He used his magic to make the projections disappear, but instead, they became roundels that floated above the town. Spritz was in a panic, but then he had an idea.

He used his magic to make the roundels change into colorful, happy faces, and soon the entire town was filled with joy and laughter. The residents of the town forgave Spritz, and he learned an important lesson about the consequences of his actions.

From that day on, Spritz continued to play pranks, but he always made sure to use his magic for good. And the castle, with its tall spires, beautiful portico, and sprawling terrace, once again stood proud and magnificent, with a new addition of playful roundels floating in the sky.
