A man went to a Wizard to buy a magic spell but the man only had 4 pennies in his pocket and so the wizard said to him,
"For four pennies I can't sell you a whole spell but, I'll tell you what, I'll sell you 4 magic letters; I, B, Q and T".
"Four letters?", asked the man, "What am I supposed to do with those?".
"Use them wisely, I suggest", said the Wizard.
And so the man gave the wizard his four pennies and went off with the four letters in his pocket.
As he was walking through the forest however, the man thought he heard a womans voice speaking but, looking round, he couldn't see anyone.
So the man took the letter 'I' from his pocket and it turned into a magic eye and, holding it up in front of him, through it he saw a beautiful princess locked in a tall tower that was guarded by a ferocious looking lion and the princess was saying to herself as she sobbed,
"Oh won't some brave man rescue me?".
"They must be invisible", thought the man to himself, "But how will I get past that ferocious lion to rescue the Princess?".
Just then, however, the man had an idea and, taking the letter 'B' from his pocket, he turned it into a Bee that stung the lion upon the nose and tail and buzzed in both its ears until it chased the lion away.
But the tower was too tall for the man to climb and he had no ladder or rope to climb it.
So then the man took the letter 'Q' from his pocket and it became a queue of people and getting the people to all stand upon each others shoulders they formed a human ladder, then the man, climbing over them saved the princess from the tower.
"Oh thank you", said the Princess, kissing the man, "I'm so grateful".
But then, looking in his pocket the man saw that he had one magic letter left; the letter 'T' and so he turned it into a teapot and he and the Princess both had a lovely cup of tea.
