Two teenagers play with a five year old? Aunt Greta wasn't kidding. "It'll be nice for her to be in your game," she cooed, handing her daughter over to John and David. "She has no brothers of her own, so it's lucky she has you two as cousins!"

That was it. The boys were stuck with her while the adults played Bridge. Glumly, they took her outdoors with them.

They knew only one rule about looking after a kid. 'Don't Let her Cry or The Adults Will Ask What You're Doing To Her.' They had to keep her out of the way nicely - so she didn't cry.

It was David who hit on the idea.

"You be the Princess," he told the little girl. "And we'll be the wicked pirates who kidnap you."

The kid was excited. She got to be the Princess!

"We've kidnapped you and we're going to tie you to the mast of the pirate ship."

So saying, the boys tied her to the lamp post and left her there while they played their own games. When she showed signs of protesting, they called out, "We'll untie you when the King pays the ransom, Princess."

So, the Princess waited. She didn't cry. She was going to be untied soon.

The adults must've finished their game, because the children heard, "Come in for a snack!"

Forgetting all about the Princess, the boys ran in.

They were washing their hands when they heard Aunt Greta ask, "Is little Sue in there with you?"

"What were you thinking?" David hissed. "You forgot to untie her!"

"So did you!" John retorted.

Could they sneak back out and rescue her?

They were attempting it when they heard her voice, "Yes, Mummy, and Uncle Fred paid the ransom and carried me here!"
