Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a young boy named Will. Will lived with his parents on the east side of the village. He was always curious about the world and loved to explore new places.

One day, Will decided to take a walk towards the west to see what was there. As he walked, he stumbled upon a beautiful castle with a large gate. The gate had a sign that read, "Welcome to the West Kingdom."

Will was so excited that he ran towards the gate, but just as he was about to enter, he tripped and fell into a big puddle of water. "Oh no!" he cried. "Now I'm all wet!"

But little did Will know that his wet clothes would be the least of his worries. As he walked through the castle gates, he suddenly found himself surrounded by a group of guards. "Who goes there?" they shouted.

Will was so scared that he could barely speak, but he managed to stammer, "I'm Will. I came from the east to see the West Kingdom."

The guards were so impressed by Will's bravery that they decided to let him in. As he explored the castle, he came across a beautiful princess who was getting ready for her wedding.

The princess was so grateful to Will for coming to the West Kingdom that she asked him to be the ring bearer at her wedding. Will was over the moon with excitement. "I'd be honored to be a part of your special day!" he exclaimed.

The next week, the day of the wedding arrived and Will was ready to do his part. He was given a small box with the wedding rings and a small cart with wheels to carry it. But as he was making his way down the aisle, he tripped and the box with the rings flew into the air.

To Will's surprise, instead of falling to the ground, the box started to float! It was as if it had become lighter than air. Will quickly realized that the box had lost its weight because of all the water from his wet clothes!

The guests at the wedding were amazed by the floating box and Will became a hero in the West Kingdom. From that day on, he was always welcome in the castle and was considered one of their own.

And as for the princess and her prince, they lived happily ever after, with Will's wet clothes as a reminder of their unforgettable wedding day.

The end.
