There once lived a king and his daughter the princess in a castle on top of the mountain. One day the princess was walking in the woods and was captured by the baby dragon. There the horrendiously short, fat, princess fell in love with the cute baby dragon. The king realized his daughter was missing and sent the one of the strongest woman in the town to rescue his daughter. After she returned she came back with an invitation of the wedding of the baby dragon and the princess. After sending many more women for the job and getting the same result, the king decides to wait for the wedding day to kidnap his own daughter and bring her back. Wedding day arrives and the whole family including the village is there along with the family of the baby dragon. While they are saying their royal oaths, the king tries to catch the princess but falls his face and everyone laughs at him. The baby dragon's mother picks him up and they quickly become friends. 1 month later the king marries her. THE END

It definitely needs work. As mentioned above, a parady is a satirical twist on something. There are two ways to approach it in what I would say is a unanomous re-write. First, take the basic structure of a fairy tale and poke fun at it. So, once upon a time in a land far far away, there was a beautiful princess who was captured by an evil witch. Her charming prince rode into save her. He rescues her and they live happily ever after. Make the princess fat, the prince ugly, or say they didn't live so well after all. Watch the movie Shrek and notice the gobs of jokes that poke fun at the elements of a fairy tale.



The other approach is to take an actual fairy tale and satire it in a Weird Al fashion. So, take a topic that you like or want to use. Then, change the characters or symbols of the fairy tale to fit the new mold. When I had that assignment in school, I used Goldilocks and I wrote Curious George and the Three Tax systems. It had President Bush wander upon the home of the three tax systems. The Flat taxes were one extreme, the Proportional Tax was a second extreme, and a Balanced Mix was the system that was "just right". Our assignment was specifically to use political satire. So, you could also use social issues or whatever you like, if the assignment permits it.

It is mildly amusing. I wouldn't quit my day job to become a writer just yet, but keep working on it and you will get better. I disagree with the answer given by Lindsay which states that this isn't really a parody. i think that is fairly obvious the gender role reversal you have done. Also making the princess short, fat ,and ugly instead of tall thin, and beautiful. I would have made the ruler a queen, instead, of a king to have continuity throughout your theme. If you are under 12 years old this is a very good piece.

I actual have exceptionally sharp thoughts of my adolescence. i understand that is uncommon, yet i'm no longer mendacity. i've got used good judgment and asked people who have been there to corroborate the dating. I as quickly as asked my mom at age 4 "why did human beings make God?"....does that count quantity as thinking? anyhow, i began out analyzing around age 5 and inhaled some a hundred+ website books containing fairytales. yet I definitely believed in God up until age 19. My atheism is barely some years previous whilst in comparison with how long i've got believed. yet in spite of this I wasn't ever informed that the thoughts that my individuals informed/examine weren't rather authentic, or maximum probably untrue. I propose, to me they have been purely entertainment and that i'm confident i assumed they have been authentic as a baby. in line with probability that's an considerable ingredient. Believing without thinking, extreme thinking skills do count number, and my faculties did no longer rather permit me strengthen mine until at last previous due extreme college. the style you examine issues isn't the comparable as how plenty you have examine. additionally, my kiddie Bibles have been continually friendly and not too questionable. No rape, racism (blatant), and so on.

A parody is "a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing" (dictionary.com). Basically it's making fun of another type of work; in your case a fairy tale.



Your tale appears to me to be an original fairy tale, but not a parody of anything. It has IRONY at the end, but that's not the same thing.

Yes, it's good enough. It reminds me of Eddie Murphy doing all the lead roles except the princess.
