The Princess and Prince that Love to Eat

Once upon a time, in a far away land, there lived a princess and a prince that loved to eat more than anything.  One time the prince said, "I would like to have some tomato soup."  The princess did too.  For one hour he looked for tomatoes and he picked one hundred of them.  And he put them in a pot at home.   Then he said, "Some chicken would be good in this stew too."  Then he looked for half an hour for a chicken, and he finally found one.  Then he put the chicken in the pot.  And then he said, "It would be really good to have some green beans and onions in this soup."  So he got some onions from his cupboard, and he went to his farm to pick the green beans.  Then he said, "A little bit of water and lentils would be nice too."  So he got lentils and put them into the pot.  Then he got four cups of water and put it in the pot.  He stirred it for a little bit and then said, "Some garlic and cumin would be good too...and the secret ingredient--a little bit of salt and pepper."  So he added two tablespoons of salt and pepper.   "I'll add some noodles too," he said.  He let it cook for twenty minutes, but then it overflowed and there was lots of smoke everywhere.  He had to get under a blanket and open all of the windows.  He coughed a hundred times.  So he went to look in the pot and said, "The soup is ruined!"  "I'll just have to make another one!"  And he did and they had a big dinner party with the soup.  And they lived happily ever after.  The end.
