Old Moon Eyes
Princess Matilda


Princess Matilda lives in a very big castle in the middle of a very big forest. And, she has three beautiful crowns. A crown made of gold, a crown made of silver, and a crown made of old rubber tyres.
Princess Matilda wears her crown made of gold when she goes to the cinema. She wears her crown made of silver when she goes swimming. And, she wears her crown made of old rubber tyres when she goes to London to visit the Queen.
And, what does Princess Matilda wear when she is at home in her castle? The answer is funny. She wears a very old tea-cosy that her grandmother knitted a long time ago!
