The Princess and the Musician – by Alia Richmond
A lonely princess often snuck out of her palace and met a homeless boy who played music in the streets.
He treated her like a normal girl, and they slowly fell in love, sharing dreams of freedom and a different life.
One night, the guards appeared with torches, calling the princess’s name.
The boy froze as he realized who she was.
She stepped forward just as the palace gates flew open behind them,
and everyone waited to see what she would do next.
The Turning of February – by Clara Wierzbicki
The crimson of the roses filled the snow
The new leaves began to grow
Although the flakes still fell on the ground
The change was visible all around
It marks the start of the season of Lent
February illustrates all the love shown by others
