"'Death To Diversity! One Race, One Culture, One Nation!'
One Caramelitia."

Gee. I didn't know Boazy was "Caramelite" - I thought he was one of those Brethren types :)

Shockaholic's fiction is improving though. That one would be worth a C+ at Year 6 level, I reckon.

I reckon Shocka was abducted by aliens and they didn't like him either.

Once there was a king who had a plain, but good-natured daughter called Aussierella.

Upon marrying a snob named Mrs Watermelon, the king was convinced by her that Aussierella was boring and he needed some more exotic or classy daughters.

So the king started adopting daughters from all over the world.

The new daughters shared the stepmother's contempt:
Aussierella was too ordinary compared to them.
So they ignored her or made fun of her.

Aussierella tried to be polite and friendly, but felt left out.

One day, all the other daughters got invited to the king's ball.
They dressed up in their finest dresses, full of embroidery and ornament.
They taunted Aussierella over her plain practical clothes.
"Jeans and T-shirt!? No prince would dance with you!" they laughed.

After the rest had gone to the ball, Aussierella sat alone, wondering what she'd done to deserve this.

Then, Poof!
Priscilla her fairy godmother appeared.
"What's the matter, love?"

"I didn't get invited to my own father's ball! I've had a gutful!"

"She'll be right!" said Priscilla.
"Fetch me a big pineapple from the fridge."

With a wave of her wand, the big pineapple turned into a Holden ute, and Aussierella jumped in.

"Hang on a sec!", and waving her wand once more, a pair of glass thongs appeared on Aussierella's feet.

"Bugger me! I didn't know they came in glass."
And Aussierella was off to the ball.

She got the usual cold reception.
"She has no class"
"She's not exotic at all" the guests whispered.

But being the friendly, funny girl she always was, she soon won them over.
And by the end of the night, she was the Belle of the Ball.

And nobody treated her like a peasant in her own kingdom ever again.
Or she gave 'em what for!

Shocka, this isn't kiddies corner btw.

Perhaps its time you went and played with other
kiddies, leave OLO to the grown ups, who
sometimes actually make intelligent comments.

Clearly thats beyond you.
