Once upon a time there was a little girl called Pretty Polly, because she was as pretty as a flower, who had 7 sisters.
One was called Messy Jessy because she was very messy and always dropping litter and crumbs wherever she went; one was called Chatty Cathy because she was always talking even when no one was listening; one was called Smelly Kelly because she was very smelly; one was called Fatty Patty because she was very fat and always eating; one was called Lazy Maisy because she was very lazy and always sleeping and there were two twins called Mina and Mona who were always fighting with each other.
And one day, Pretty Polly and her 7 sisters went into the forest to play and pick flowers or atleast Pretty Polly picked flowers; Messy Jessy just dropped litter; Chatty Cathy just chatted to herself; Smelly Kelly made all the flowers wilt with her odour; Fatty Patty just stuffed her face with chocolate and when she ran out of that tried eating the flowers; Lazy Maisy just fell asleep and Mina and Mona just fought with each other, shouting and screaming so loud that it scared away the forest animals.
But then, suddenly the sisters heard a loud growling noise; the sound of a forest ogre and, apart from Lazy Maisy who didn't hear the ogre because she was fast asleep, all the other sisters tried to hide themselves.
And Lazy Maisy because she hadn't heard the ogre and would have been too lazy to run even if she had got grabbed by the ogre and put in his sack.
But then Messy Jessy who hid herself behind a tree was found by the ogre because he followed the trail of litter she had left behind her and then he put her in his sack.
And Chatty Cathy who had hid inside a cave was found by the ogre because he could hear her inside the cave chatting away to herself and then he put her in his sack.
Then he found Smelly Kelly who had hid herself behind a flower bush because, apart from the fact that it was all covered in wilted flowers, the ogre could smell her with its long nose and then he put Smelly Kelly in his sack.
Fatty Patty had tried to hide inside the hollow of a tree but she was so fat that she got stuck and so the Ogre, grabbing her by the feet pulled her from the hollow with a loud pop, like a cork from a bottle, and put her in his sack.
Then the ogre caught Mina and Mona who hadn't even managed to hide at all because they'd got into an argument about where they should hide and the ogre, grabbing Mina in one hand and Mona in the other threw them both into his sack.
Fortunately, Pretty Polly was so Pretty that, even though she had just stood next to a flower, seeing her, the Ogre had thought her a flower and when he sniffed her with his long nose just to make sure, because she always used scented soaps, she smelled like a flower too so the ogre had just ignored her.
But Pretty Polly loved her 7 sisters and didn't want them to get eaten by the ogre and so, rummaging around in her bag full of beauty things like her hair brush and her nail file, she found a little pair of scissors and, following the ogre she used the scissors to cut a hole in his sack.
Then, as the ogre was carrying the sack away, out of the hole fell Messy Jessy along with a whole lot of litter and crumbs.
Then out fell Chatty Cathy still chatting away.
Then out fell Smelly Kelly, quite a relief to those still in the sack who had found the air unbreathable with her in it.
Then out fell Lazy Maisy still fast asleep.
Then out fell Fatty Patty. Well actually, Fatty Patty got stuck at first but Pretty Polly pulled upon her feet and she came out of the hole making it an even bigger hole in the process.
Then out through the big hole that Fatty Patty had made fell both Mina and Mona still fighting and arguing.
But then, hearing Mina and Mona fighting, the Ogre turned round and, realizing what had happened he roared loudly with anger.
So loudly infact that it even woke Lazy Maisy up and then, because the ogre started to chase after them, Pretty Polly and her 7 sisters ran all the way home.
And fortunately, when they got home, Pretty Polly's Mother had cooked enough food for Polly, her seven sisters and the Ogre and when the ogre smelled the delicious food he forgot all about eating little girls and ate dinner with them instead.
And, after that, the Ogre and the little girls became the very best of friends
