Okay, now here’s our story.
A long, long time ago, there was a queen named Quincy.
She loved quilts, but she didn’t really want to buy a quilt.
She wanted to make one ’cuz she was CREATIVE.
So she went on a looong quest to go see Quintin, her friend the porcupine.
If she could borrow one of his quills, she could use it as a needle to make her quilt!
When she finally got to his house, he wasn’t there!
Queen Quincy thought and thought.
If Quintin was quietly hiding nearby, she could possibly talk him into giving her a quill.
So, the queen yelled out, “Quintin, I have a quarter for you if you give me one quill!”
Quintin crept out of his hiding place.
He decided he’d like that quarter for a quill ’cuz he may want to buy something.
Queen Quincy sewed and sewed and sewed with the quill to make a beautiful quilt, but she hadn’t forgotten what Quintin gave to her.
Even though she got her queenly quilt, she made Quintin his own queenly cozy quilt.
So he can quietly snuggle in his own quilt. So warm and cozy!
The End.
Q!
