In a very ugly lawn <br />Stood a pail from dusk to dawn <br />That old pail was touched by none <br />But the brightly shining sun <br />That very mysterious pail <br />Was found by little Abigail <br />That pail Abigail dug in <br />From here this story will begin <br />After two years that ancient pail <br />Was found again by Abigail <br />But the poor little Abigail <br />Didn’t remember that old pail <br />The pail had no mystery <br />But a tale, its history <br />Long ago there lived a king <br />Who’s name was Ardfaar Lirfing <br />Ardfaar Lirfing hated gold <br />Its reason by all is told <br />The king and queen went out to walk <br />When on the queen fell a huge gold rock <br />That was the end of the poor queen <br />Whose body was never seen <br />From now on he hated gold <br />To everyone he always told <br />Never show gold before my eyes <br />Whoever does in my hands dies <br />Ardfaar’s crown is in the pail <br />That’s the tale behind the pail.<br /><br />Risha Ahmed (12 yrs)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/037-ardfaar-s-gold-a-story-poem/
