2. Once upon a time there was a little princess named Nelly. She found out that the Pharaoh was not feeling well, so Princess Nelly gathered him some food. She gathered him some grapes, apples, peaches, and bread with honey.

3. “Be careful when you cross the Nile,” Nelly’s mom said. I will,” Nelly replied. So Nelly went off. Princess Nelly realized it would be very hard to get to the Pharaoh because she had to go past the pyramids and through the Nile to get to the Pharaoh. “I will.” “Be careful when you cross the Nile.”

4. Princess Nelly heard something, but when she turned around no one was there. A few minutes later she felt like someone was following her, then she looked again and a tomb robber was there!

5. “Give me your food,” said the tomb robber greedily. “What?”questioned Nelly with fear. She began to shiver. “Give me some of your food!” the tomb robber yelled this time. Give me your food! What? Give me some of your food!

6. “No!” yelled Nelly and she ran as fast as she could away from the robber. Nelly hadn’t seen the robber for a long time and thought he was gone and would not bother her any more. No!!

7. What Princess Nelly didn’t know was that the tomb robber had taken a short cut through the Nile, dressed up like the Pharaoh, and hid him. When Nelly finally reached the Pharaoh she gave him the food. Nelly realized that the Pharaoh was smaller than his normal height, and didn’t look very sick at all.

8. “Well, Pharaoh you don’t look sick at all,” Nelly said suspiciously. “Well little Nelly you see, sometimes you don’t have to look sick to be sick,” said the tomb robber. Nelly heard the crackly voice of the tomb robber and knew it wasn’t the Pharaoh. Nelly didn’t believe him one bit. Well, Pharaoh you don’t look sick at all. Well little Nelly you see, sometimes you don’t have to look sick to be sick.

9. “I must be on my way now,” said Nelly. “Give me your food Nelly, NOW!” yelled the robber. “HELP!!!” Nelly screamed, but no one could hear her. “HELP!!!!” Nelly screamed even louder this time. Finally someone heard her this time, it was a hunter. I must be on my way now. Give me your food Nelly, NOW! HELP!!!!!!

10. “What’s wrong, little lady?” asked the hunter. “This tomb robber dressed up like the Pharaoh, just to steal the food I got for him!” Nelly replied. The hunter pulled out his bow and arrow, and threatened to shoot the robber. What’s wrong little lady? This tomb robber dressed up like the Pharaoh, just to steal the food I got for him.

11. “AHHH!!!” screamed the tomb robber, very frightened. The tomb robber ran away and no one saw him ever again. In the end, the hunter and Nelly found the real Pharaoh in the closet. AHHH!!!
