Sarah Smith, age 5, was walking in a park near Denver, Colorado. She was watching butterflies playing in the flowers and was quite surprised when a king and queen arrived.

"We're looking for a beautiful young girl to become the new princess of our kingdom," the king said.

"I've always dreamed about being a princess!" said Sarah.

The happy king and queen took Sarah back to their castle.

"I wish Steve, Tara and Aunt June could see this place!" Sarah said. "It's so big you could have the whole kingdom over for a party."

"What an excellent idea'." said the Queen.

Soon, the entire castle was busy with preparations for a fancy ball to welcome their new princess.

The royal dressmakers created a beautiful gown just for Sarah. When she tried it on, Sarah could hardly believe her eyes.

"In this dress I really do look like a princess," she said.

All eyes were on Sarah as she made a grand entrance into the ballroom.

 "Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce Princess Sarah Smith," the king announced.

Cheers from the crowd filled her heart with joy. Being a princess was even more wonderful than she had ever imagined.
