Remember imagery is when the words used (usually adjectives) create a picture. Similes and metaphors are also types of figurative language used to create imagery. keep this in mind prior to reading this "fairy tale."

Then read the story one time through for enjoyment. Then go back and answer sidebars and all questions 245-247.
