On Saturday morning, Princess Fay and Princess Kay put on their work gowns.
Prince Jay put on his work clothing too.
They went to Silly Dilly Land.
“I am sure it will be nice and hot in Silly Dilly Land,” Prince Jay said.
On the way they met Naa Princess.
She was walking to the Palace, backwards.
“Don’t forget,” Princess Kay whispered to her sister.
“Naa Princess speaks and does things backwards, and that seems
strange to us.”
“I know,” interrupted Prince Jay.
“But it’s not strange to her, or the people who live in Back-down Land.
They don’t think they do things backwards.
We do things backwards to them!”
“How true!” said his sisters together.
“You meet to glad so am I,” said Naa Princess, backwards, as she faced away from the children. "Is fair farm this where sure not am I."
Prince Jay told Naa Princess that they were happy to follow her and tell her
which way to go.
When they came to the palace Prince Hop-A-Lot was waiting for them. Mr. Pin Cushion, his pet porcupine, was in his big pocket. Princess Peek-A-Boo was hiding again but she jumped out saying her name within a minute.
Prince Hop-a-Lot was very excited. "We have to hurry."
“Where are we going, exactly,” asked Princess Kay.
“We are going to the Farm Fair on Friendly Farmer Foley Fit’s fantastic Farm,” replied Princess Peek-A-Boo after she jumped out from behind a chair shouting her name.
It is not far from here. That is where the Farm Fair is,”
The children met many people on the way to Friendly Farmer Foley Fit’s Farm Fair.
When they arrived at the farm, they were given some farming tools.
Princess Peek-A-Boo was given a needle and thread.
Prince-Hop-A- Lot was given a toothbrush.
Princess Kay and Princess Fay were given a hair dryer.
Prince Jay was given a bottle.
Naa Princess was given a hammer.
"Now we can start picking plants," said Prince Hop -A-Lot.
“Put Hoppy,” Princess Peek-A-Boo told her brother. “First we have to see the animals.
There are animal contests and that is the most fun to see.”
The children went to a big barn.
The first contest they saw was the Pig Contest.
All the pigs were dressed up in their very best boxes.
The pig who was wearing the prettiest box would win the prize.
“What is the prize?” asked Prince Jay.
“And when is it given out. Princess Peek-a-Boo , do you know?" But Princess Peek-a-Boo
wasn't there. Suddenly, she jumped out from behind a big stone shouting her name.
“The first prize for the prettiest pig is a one week visit to Faliddle land,” answered Princess Peek-A-Boo .
That is another kingdom where all the animals rule the people.
“The pig gets to be King for the whole week.”
The second prize is one week in Faliddle land,” she went on.
The pig gets to be King for the whole week.
And the third prize is a one week stay in the Faliddle land, where the
pig gets to be king for the whole time.”
All the animal prizes are awarded when the weather gets cold.”
“That would be summer,” said Prince Jay.
“Right,” said Princess Peek-A-Boo
“Fanny Filter’s pig, Fancy, won first prize in last year’s contest, with Frank Fish’s pig Fussy coming in second, and his other pig, Befuddle coming in third.
“Gee,” mumbled Prince Jay.
“That sounds so great.
I wish I were a pig!”
Then they went to the cow contest.
In this contest, the cow that lays the fewest eggs in ten minutes wins the first prize.
“In Willy Nilly Land , cows do not lay eggs at all,” said Princess Kay.
“Cows don’t usually lay eggs here either,” said Princess Peek-A-Boo .
“So I expect that there will be a lot of winners.”
“Can you guess what the prize is?”
“One week in Faliddle land where the cow gets to be king the whole time,” laughed the Willy Nilly children.
Naa Princess laughed the same thing, backwards.
“Is there a second and third prize for cows,” asked Princess Fay.
" I really don't think so," Prince Hop-A-Lot said but I'll find out.
He went up to a cow who understood snowman language and asked...
"Munch ingle de toefoo la crinkcle a beet? "
The cow looked at Prince Hop-A-Lot and replied,
"Messa minga coolie some, where heepa poola mind.
Wista moo moo inda cook, wah seepa creep find."
The WillyNilly children and Naa princess wondered what the cow had said, and asked
Prince Hop-A-Lot.
"The cow said 'no,' " he replied.
Then the children went to the last of the animal contests.
This was for seals.
In this contest, the seal that could flap its flippers for the longest time
without making noise, wins.
.
“You know,” Princess Fay said, “ if a seal flaps its flippers under water it wouldn’t make noise.
Then Princess Peek-A-Boo started to laugh.
“So that’s why Slubby Seal was racing to Farmer Foley Fit’s house. He
probably wanted to flap his flippers in Farmer Foley Fit’s bathtub and win the prize.”
“I suppose the first prize is one week in Faliddle land where the winner gets to be king for the whole week,” said Prince Jay.
“ That is correct,” said Princess Peek-A-Boo
“There are ten other prizes for the seals too.”
“Guess what the other prizes are!”
Then Princess Fay asked a very important question.
“Do the animal prize winners go to Faliddle land one after the other and take turns?”
“Certainly not,” replied Princess Peek-A-Boo . “They all go at the same time.
Otherwise it wouldn’t be fair, would it?”
“!Fun what wow,” said Naa Princess.
Then the children went to eat lunch at Friendly Farmer Foley Fit’s Farm Fair Food Festival Factory. The food was so good.
What foods do you think would be served at a SillyDilly Farm Fair Food Festival?
Here are some hints: l) You can eat all of it . 2) No more hints.

“Now it is time to get to work picking the plants,” said Princess Peek-A-Boo .
Do you all have your farm tools?
“Yes, yes,” the WillyNilly children said at once.
“Yes, yes, “ said Naa princess backwards.
“Dunk , dunk, “ said Prince Hop-A-Lot, still speaking snowman language.
“Okay, let’s go to the carrot field,” they all shouted.
Princess Peek-A-Boo said that Naa Princess should start.
Naa Princess put her hands behind her back and hit the carrots into the ground with the hammer.
Then Prince Hop-A-Lot used his toothbrush to dig the carrots out.
Prince Jay squeezed the carrots into the bottle.
Then they went to the corn field.
It had rained early in the morning and the ground was muddy.
Princess Fay and Princess Kay dried the ground with their hair drier.
Then Princess Peek-A-Boo picked the corn kernels off the cob, one by one, with her needle and thread.
“I never knew that being a farmer is so much work,” shouted Princess Fay.
“But it is also lots of fun.”
“Yes, I think I will be a farmer when I grow up,” agreed Prince Jay.
Soon it was time to go home.
“Work that all after tired am I,” yawned Naa Princess.
“Me too,” yawned Prince Jay.
“Me three , ,” yawned Princess Peek-a-Boo, when she jumped out from
behind a haystack shouting her name.
“Me four ,” yawned Princess Kay.
Princess Fay didn’t say anything.
She was fast asleep.
“WAKE UP! IT’S TIME TO GO BACK TO WILLYNILLY LAND.”
The next day, Princess Peek-A-Boo got a singing letter from Willy Nilly Land.
A servant sang the message to Princess Princess Peek-A-Boo and her brother.
Here is how the song went...
