‘Once the spell is broken

My prince will be revealed,

All handsome and kind

and polite and refined

And I’ll be wined and dined

I can see in my mind

That he’s one of a kind,

In my heart he’s enshrined

And our stars are aligned

For our fates are entwined

Now I’ve found peace of . . .’

‘. . . Rind?’ said Bonnet, appearing at the door.

‘Oh – thank you!’ said Lavender, whirling round, her eyes glowing with happiness.

‘Rind soup,’ said Bonnet as he handed her a bowl of thin, grey soup through the bars.

‘It looks delicious!’ Lavender replied, for she knew that the food was enchanted. If only she could see it as it really was, it would be something like a slice of double dark chocolate fudge cake (with extra chocolate ice cream). It just looked like thin, grey soup. But Lavender could imagine how gooey and delicious it looked, and how sweet and delicious it tasted. With all the different layers of chocolatey deliciousness just stacked on top of each other . . .

‘This must have taken hours,’ said Lavender.

‘Er, not really,’ said Bonnet.

‘Well, you’re very kind.’

‘Oh, thank you, Your, er, Highness,’ said Bonnet shyly, his heart melting. (Not literally melting, you understand. That would have been disgusting.) ‘It was the least I could do,’ he said with a shrug. (Which was true. It really was the least he could have done.)

Bonnet trudged off down the stairs, thinking how kind and polite princesses were.

I wish I could help her. But I’m only a tiny giant. What can I do? Bonnet thought to himself, absent-mindedly swinging the keys to Lavender’s cell.
