Prinella in The Clouds

Here's a different twist on the first act of the Prinella puppet show that I've shared with you in previous posts: It's a word cloud generated by wordle.com. I'm not exactly sure what I would use a word cloud for but isn't that the case of many things you find on the Web?

When we last left the princess, she was comforting a sick dragon named Elemenopeo (after this book that I love: Elemenopeo). He tells her that she needs a key and a wand to open her chest of treasure. So off to get those things the Princess, Bella and all the kids go. They play pin the wand on the princess and the sword on the prince. Through some magic that I won't describe here, the wand and key appear. And, at that very moment the princess noticed that someone had dropped a clue...the birthday girl, Prinella, gets a book.

Prinella, being an exceptionally smart princess (must have gotten her intelligence from her mother the queen), realized that this was actually an encoded message. The princess noticed that there were several princesses in the book and thought if maybe they counted all the Princesses and came up with the number they could use this to find another clue.

"What’s the number? Six?" says Elemenopeo. "Hum…Let’s see. Doesn’t ring a bell. Wait, wait, now I remember. We used to make up little jokes and riddles. We had quite a bit of fun back in the day. You know, before he started doing this evil dragon stuff...."

  1. Hexagons have 6 sides. Insects have 6 legs. Beer comes in 6 packs. Oy, I'm not getting the riddle.
