The masked cleaning ladies meet the pirates

Queen Norah was showing Princess Jane the Royal Treasures.

‘Jane’ snapped Queen Norah. ‘You aren’t listening!’

‘I’m’ yawned Princess Jane.

‘Then,’ said Queen Norah, ‘what is this?’

She pointed at a model of a horse.

‘It’s er…’ began the Princess.

‘You’re as bad as King Harry. He doesn’t care about the Royal Treasures either.

This is the Golden Horse of Tong.

It belonged to your Great, Great, Great Grandfather. H…’

King Harry came in.

‘The postman’s just been,’ he said. ‘This is for you.’

Queen Norah opened the letter.

‘Bad news,’ sighed Queen Norah.

‘My sister’s crown is missing.’

‘Stolen?’ asked King Harry.

‘I expect she’s just it down somewhere. You know what she’s like. I shall have to go and help her find it.’

‘What day is it?’ said Queen Norah.

‘Monday?’ said King Harry.

‘Correct. The cleaning ladies will be coming. The front of the castle needs a jolly good scrub, I want you to stay here and make sure those cleaners do a good job.’

‘Yes, dear,’ said King Harry.

‘I shall lock up the Royal Treasures. I don’t want our Royal Treasures being lost or stolen.’ King harry waved goodbye to Queen Norah.

‘Now,’ said King Harry to Captain Smith and Captain Jones.

‘It's time for up to change into the Masked Cleaning Ladies of Om.’

The King and his two captains took over the housework when the last cleaner left. They kept it a secret from Queen Norah by dressing up as cleaning ladies and wearing masks.

The Queen would have been furious if she ever found out.
