About the Story
The Princess and the Pony takes common story ideas and turns them around. Princess Pinecone is a very strong girl. She is a brave warrior who loves to fight.
For her birthday, Princess Pinecone really wants a powerful warhorse. She wants a horse that can help her in battle. But instead, she gets a small, very cute pony.
Princess Pinecone's New Friend
At first, Princess Pinecone is not happy with her new pony. The pony is quite gassy, which means it passes gas a lot! She tries to train it for battle, but it just isn't built for fighting.
Even though the pony isn't a warhorse, Princess Pinecone decides to enter it in a big tournament. This is where other warriors show off their skills.
A Surprising Victory
During the tournament, the pony's cute and funny actions win over everyone. The other warriors are charmed by its silly behavior. The story is meant to be very funny and make readers laugh.
