They just wanted to live in the beautiful castle. The cook and Sally then came up with a plan to make them think that the castle was haunted so that they would leave. But the castle turned out to be really haunted. Read the story and find out what happened next.
The Castle Contest
This is a story about a king and queen who lived in a run-down castle. They needed a new one built so they held a contest. The winner would win a chest of gold. Lots of people entered the contest and the king picked the design submitted by the baker. But, that castle was made of food, bread, fruits, and so on. So, soon birds and other animals came and ate up the castle. Another contest was held but it too turned out to be disastrous.
