Once upon a time, there lived a princess named Dora. One day as she was out for a morning stroll in a forest, a monster suddenly leapt out from behind her! He caught Dora and brought her back to his castle and threw her into the dungeon. "Wait till tonight, big fat pig! Mwahahaha!" The monster cackled wickedly and locked the door.

After the monster left, Dora spotted a large mirror behind her, so she looked in it. "Who is that in the mirror?" She had an idea. "I know. I can do more exercise to keep fit! But the monster says he will have me as dinner tonight! What should I do?" Dora was afraid.

"Look in the mirror again." said a voice. Dora jumped to her feet and turned around to see who it was. She saw a fairy and followed her command. Dora looked in the mirror and became very slim instantly! "Now climb through the bars of the window with this long rope." Dora climbed out of the window and saw that the monster was taking a nap.

"I don"t want to wake him up." she thought, "I must tiptoe when I get to him.” Princess Dora tiptoed and then ran as fast as she could. When she got home, she commanded her servant to cook healthy food for her and bring her to the park daily. "Aha! If the monster catches me, I will be able to escape again!" she said to herself merrily.

Once upon a time, Princess Dora was doing some exercises. A monster saw her and said, " I hate people doing exercises in the morning. Men, capture her and put her into the jail in my castle!" His men obeyed their master and put her into the jail of the monster"s castle.

Suddenly, she saw a horse. There was a famous prince called Ben riding on the horse. He killed the ugly monster"s men with his mighty sword and threw a rope to princess Dora"s window.

She tied the rope to one of the bars and climbed down to the bottom of the rope. The prince saw the monster and told her to hide behind a bush. Princess Dora did what she was told. The monster fought the prince with his strong, sharp claws. Meanwhile, Princess Dora came out of the bush and saw the prince just as he was killed! She was very shocked and angry with the monster, so she sneaked up behind the monster and followed him. Then the monster came to a sudden stop and saw the princess. After a long and merciless battle, Princess Dora successfully killed the monster with the prince's sword.

She ran to the prince's horse and rode him until she saw her own palace.

Keeping Fit by Being Locked Up

"Ouch.” Princess Dora was locked in the castle by the monster. Every day, Princess Dora thought of a new method to get away. She knew that she couldn"t get away from this cage by climbing out from the window because she was not slim enough to get through.

Day after day, Dora thought of healthy recipes. She asked the monster for different food every day. On Mondays and Saturdays she had vegetables and meat. On Tuesdays she had grains, dairy products and fruit. On Wednesdays, she had one candy, veggies and fruit...

Year after year, Dora became thinner and thinner, slimmer and slimmer. Until one day... she thought of doing exercises too! Every day she ate healthy food and did exercise.

She eventually was so thin that she could fit through the window. She climbed out, and fortunately there was a rope tied there. She crept along. Luckily the monster was asleep. You think the monster is really asleep, right? Noooo! The monster never slept. It was watching Dora all the time. Secretly, it was the health ambassador of the king and queen, Princess Dora's parents. Its secret job was to watch Dora because she was too unhealthy.

Dora tried to get away and the monster was delighted. He chased Dora. She was scared. She thought that he wanted to eat her or something, but noooo! The monster stopped her and told her the truth. The queen, king, monster and healthy Dora all lived happily ever after.

Name: Li Ching Yin, Allen

Once upon a time, there was a silly princess called Dora. The reason for her seeming idiotic is because she allowed a weak monster to somehow lock her in a castle! To make matters worse, she was extremely fat, so she couldn't escape easily. She was thinking about what to do: "Maybe I should either eat more junk food, or do more exercise in the castle!"

So, she immediately started doing a lot of exercise and two months later she became a slim, beautiful and intelligent princess. The monster was dozing in the sunshine, so Princess Dora had a good chance to escape. She fetched a rope, hung it down the castle, and slid down the rope. Still, the monster was sleeping, so she ran for it.

The monster woke up a few minutes later. "Where's the princess? I'm so hungry." When he found out that the princess had escaped, he was angry with fury. He tried to resist his anger, but it had already lit up. His mind was on fire, his fists started to grow spikes and his eyes glowed neon red. "You will NEVER escape next time!" he said, going bananas.

Suddenly, Doora fell down on the floor and stopped breathing. A shadow killed Doora. He was Prince Edward. He said, "Are you fine dear?" Dora said "I... I'm fine."

Then, they took a rope to climb down the scary castle's wall, but they fell and landed on the time machine that Doora had made. "Arrrgh!” they yelled.

Luckily they got away but they saw many people in a strange place that had purple walls. They were in 2015! They had gone to the future. Something else funny had happened... They were in Prince Edward MTR station. The prince's name was also Edward, so he said, "This is my country – Prince Edward!"

Once upon a time there lived a fat princess who loved to eat French fries. One day a monster locked her in a castle. The monster said he was doing this "for her own good."

The king was heartbroken and sent ten thousand knights in shining armour to look for her but they were all eaten alive by a herd of rhinoceroses that had escaped from the royal zoo! It was very unfortunate for a loving king like him.

Six days later, the ghost of the respected Master Yang paid the surprisingly thin Princess Dora a visit. He said, "Hi there! You look thin, here are some biscuits." After a spell, five chocolate chip cookies appeared before their eyes. Dora was very grateful and the next two hours were filled with "thank yous" and "How did you do thats". Master Yang did not answer her questions, instead he calmly said "There are a few tricks in everyone, but only a few know how to summon them. Here is a rope. Use it to leave this disgusting place."

The next day the princess tied the rope to the bars on the window and lowered herself down. That was when she saw all of the guards were dead. She was shocked. Master Yang appeared again and spoke: "It was all because of a disease... a terrible disease called the measles. I was sent to take you to this castle to protect you. Here is the Staff of Creation. Go to the tallest mountain in the land and you will find the Temple of the Dragons. Put the staff in the chimney there and the fire will burn the staff and the disease will be gone. Farewell!"

Then she set off on a journey through the forest to find the temple to restore harmony.

Then she became so slim she was able to slip through the bars. She climbed down a rope and ran for her dear life. On the way home she met a handsome prince and ...

Princess Dora replied "I will escape." "Escape? Hahaha, don't be silly, Princess, you are too fat." Princess Dora started to worry.

After a while, Princess Dora, thankful for having a few days before the monster would eat her, thought she could change. She started to run around the castle and ate less junk food. When the monster gave her some dishes, she would say "I just need the vegetables, thank you." After a few days, she was thin again. She thought of a great idea to escape. First, she took a rope in pocket, then she would climb the rope to the ground so she could be free again. Unluckily, the monster found her and said angrily, "Heh, what are you doing? Stop right there or I will eat you at once." Princess Dora wasn't afraid, she was brave and she killed the monster. The Princess escaped. She ran away by herself.
