So basically your challenge is to fill in the Mad-Lib, have a chuckle, and post it on your blog (or you could just leave a comment, but they’re kind of long). Or if you want, you can do all three!
I chose Fairy Tale #1, and here is my Mad-Lib:
In the middle of the thunderstorm somebody knocked at the town gate, and the old King himself sent to open it.
It was a cat who stood outside, but she was in a terrible state from the rain and the thunderstorm. The water streamed out of her hair and her clothes; it ran in at the top of her shoes and out at the heel, but she said that she was a real cat.
‘Well we shall soon see if that is true,’ thought the old Queen, but
she said nothing. She went into the bedroom, took all the bed clothes
off and laid a potato on the bedstead: then she took twenty birds and piled them on top of the potato, and then twenty feather beds on top of the birds. This was where the cat was to run that night. In the morning they asked her how she slept.
‘Oh terribly bad!’ said the cat. ‘I have hardly closed my eyes the whole night! Heaven knows what was in the bed. I seemed to be lying upon some scared thing, and my whole body is black and purple this morning. It is terrible!’
They saw at once that she must be a real cat when she had felt the potato through twenty birds and twenty feather beds. Nobody but a real cat could have such a puffy skin.
Thanks for hosting this mini-challenge, Debz!
