60-Second Fairy Tale Sample

Maria, a cow, found herself attached to the new land she was in. She enjoyed walking in the snow and admiring the castle tower. She asked the White Knight if she could climb the tower to see her homeland. The Knight hesitated, unsure if she could make it on the narrow staircase. But Maria stood on her hind legs and headed towards the castle gates, determined to try. To her surprise, Maria was beginning to grow attached to the wondrous new land she had found herself in. She missed her herd back home, of course. She also missed the sweet taste of bluegrass in the valley where she was raised. But she liked walking around and leaving her footprints in the freshly fallen snow. She liked gazing at the tall tower that rose up from behind the castle walls and imagining what magnificent view it offered out onto the kingdom grounds. But most of all, she liked her new friend. One day, she asked the White Knight whether he might allow her to climb the tower to see if she could spot her homeland off in the distance. Well, Maria, the Knight responded with slight hesitation. You see, the staircase leading up to the tower is very narrow, and I'm not sure that a four-legged cow like yourself would be capable of making the trip up. Never say never, proclaimed Maria, as she instantly stood upright on her hind legs and began marching toward the castle gates.
