The Great Grandfather Short Story

The Great Grandfather of the Prince of the Hamsters’ Greatest Realm began his story of a long time ago event. “I was the youngest of my family,” the Great Grandfather said. “All of my brothers and sisters were trained in the secrets of survival and the secrets of the Magic Mirror. I had to wait a long time to become one of them.” The Prince Hamster asked, “What is the Magic Mirror?”

The Great Grandfather replied, “Ask your parents about this. They know better than I do.”

The Prince added, “How long did you have to wait?” The Great Grandfather chuckled and replied with enthusiasm, “Well, let’s find out, shall we? This story is true, by the way. It was early March, 1198, before the explorers had conquered our territory to become this

“The Water Hamster, the one who summons water. He was called by the Lord of the Bugzy 's, Squeakpaws, to go defeat the lion. The Water Hamster had gone through some of the same experiences before, so he had empathy for the villagers.” The Water Hamster left his house to go on his quest.

I am also known as the Nature Hamster.” Aquarius informed Birch, “We are going to Fang the Lion’s lair to defeat him.” Aquarius gestured to the army. They took a step forward and bowed.

Birch exclaimed, “Ooh! I would love to go with you! But first, could you all help me put my berries inside my house? I have to feed my wife and baby.” He gestured to the tall dead tree with a hole.

The group agreed and helped their new friend Birch.

Once they were done, Birch bid farewell to his family, for now. Two days later, they acknowledged the fact that they were about 2 kilometers away from Château Gaillard, which was Richard’s castle. The group advanced with caution knowing that Fang would be
