He settled on three contests: a race where the princesses would ride horses, a poetry writing competition, and one where the princesses would have to come up with a question to ask him.

Not so fast......Upon waking, the emporer realized he had been dreaming. He was so happy, for he surely wasn't ready for someone who believed they had lived amongst trolls, witches, fairies, and such.
