4. There once was a boy named William who did gymnastics and had a nanny. The nanny lived with them for ten years. Her Husband had died and all she had left from him was a picture. Her mother died too and all she had left from her was a pearl circle pin. The nanny’s name was Mrs. Phillips. She decided she wanted to move back to England with her brother.

5. Mrs. Phillips gave William a castle before she left. In the castle there was a knight named Sir Simon who was cursed and the only way to brake the curse is if you pick him up. No one knew that other than the person who cursed him. Until one day William picked him up and he came alive and Sir Simon is a very very small.

6. William and Sir Simon found a token that shrinks people and they decide to shrink Mrs. Phillips. Then they go on a adventure to fight the wizard who shrunk Sir Simon and he is taking over the castle that used to be Sir Simon’s.
