The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe

Once upon a time there was a witch and a lion that fell in love. They got married and soon the witch was pregnant with a little baby boy. Well, the witch and the lion wanted the best things for their little baby. However, the witch and the lion didn't have a lot of money. So they began slowly collecting things to make sure the baby had everything he needed.

One day the witch and lion were offered a wardrobe for their baby. The witch was very excited as this was a special wardrobe. This wardrobe had been passed down from witch to witch and had belonged to the witches family for many years. However, the lion grumbled and roared about keeping the dresser. You see, because the wardrobe was very old, there were things broken on it. Also, the witch demanded that it be refinished because her baby could only have the best things! The lion, having refinished furniture before, knew that this was not going to be an easy job. He growled, roared, and gnashed his terrible teeth. But in the end, the lion loved both the witch and the baby with all his heart so he did what the witch asked.

The witch was planning on helping the lion with the wardrobe. However, because of the special little baby growing in her belly, the witch could not do much to help. So the lion stripped and sanded and refinished and glued and reglued and screwed the wardrobe together. It took him many weeks and he worked and worked to please his witch. The witch wanted the wardrobe to look it's best, so the witch and lion had to buy supplies for this special wardrobe. Two trips to Home Depot and $60 later, the wardrobe looked wonderful! The lion grumbled and complained about all the work and the fact that the free wardrobe cost almost as much as a new Ikea dresser. However, the witch was pleased with the wardrobe. She knew that even if it wouldn't be much more expensive to buy a new one, this one was special and much sturdier then Ikea furniture.



Here is the special wardrobe in all it's glory. I love the lion and all the hard work he did on it. It looks amazing! Thanks honey!
