A Children's Fairytale, Written With Love. "Dinner Glorious Dinner."

Can you think of a title for this work? If so, comment below, would love to hear it.

It is dedicated and hugely inspired by my two nieces, and their dad, it was something that we were discussing in Serbia, and then I turned it into a children's story, in order to tell the girls about the world.

Once upon a time, in a place far far away, in a big beige castle, lived two beautiful twin girls, who were very very tall. One was named Mila and the other Nikolia. They loved talking to each other, playing volleyball and having fun. They could draw, swim and speak English really well. They loved wearing shiny silky dresses, too balls and parties, and had the prettiest hair and the most fashionable outfits in all the land. 

Until one day, their great-grandmother came over, to the castle, all the way from VillainVale, to pay a visit to the girls, to see how they were. While the girls weren’t home, great-grandma cooked a great big fabulous meal, full of turkey, chicken, potatoes, soup and bread. When the girls came home, they were starving, “Oh dad, we are so hungry, what is for dinner? May we eat?” Said Mila. “We had such a great day at school today, we learnt Mathematics, English and Science. Oh the wonderful things there are to learn about!” announced Nina. “Well off to the kitchen to see what is for dinner, my lovely girls” said their father. 

As they walked into the kitchen where there was a glorious table full of delicious foods. All the foods from around the world. “Look at the turkey!” Exclaimed Nina. “Wow it’s enormous, how are we going to eat all this?” Mila asked. They sat down and began eating, rushing to cut the turkey and chicken, slurping on the soup, like two hungry girls who needed a good meal. They were happy, and delighted. They giggled and chatted about the latest trends and the how they will wear their hair and makeup at the next party. 

Suddenly, the kitchen door opened loudly, and the girls look up from their conversation to see Great-grandmother, with her cooking apron on. “Good Evening my lovely granddaughters, I’ve come to cook you a very large meal, to stuff your bellies with” said great-grandmother. “Oh why thank you, it is quite pleasant, and we were hungry” the girls said together and smiled. Great-grandmother sat down at the table, and started talking profusely. Mila and Nina started to wonder, as to why grandma was cooking so much food, and talking a lot.  They began feeling a little doubtful that the meal was a good idea, and that so much food was okay. 

And as they suspected, the food was far too much for their little bellies. “Oh no” said Mila, “we ate too much and baba’s food now tastes awful.” 

Days, months, years went by, and the story of great-grandmother passed as a lesson. Mila and Nina went on to play Volleyball all over the world. And when work was done, they were happily married, and the people ate all together again, with a better belly.
