Once Upon Ikea

Once upon a time a young king and queen lived in a cinderblock palace with their two young princes.  The two young princes had lots of toys they loved to play with.  The only problem is, there was very little room in the cinderblock palace and no place to put the toys, so the palace usually looked like this:


Finally the king could stand it no more.
"Let's go to Ikea and get something to put all this stuff in."
"I don't like Ikea," the queen said.  "I'd rather go to Target."
The king said, "I know you don't like Ikea, but the furniture there is made for small places that have no storage areas.  Plus, it's cheap."
The queen knew that the king was right, so she reluctantly went to Ikea.  Once they got there, they ate a mighty feast of meatballs, then proceeded to go shopping.  There were many strange and wonderful things in Ikea, like rugs for under $100, and storage shelves of every shape and size.  They returned from their conquest, put the princes down for a nap, and proceeded to assemble their prizes.
It was hard work, but luckily the queen had given the king lots of tools for Father's Day, so he was quickly able to assemble things.  Once it was all complete, the queen decided that Ikea was pretty cool after all. 

 Now the king and queen can enjoy their cinderblock palace because there's a place for everything, and everything is in it's proper place!
At least, that is, until the little princes wake up.
The end.
