10. Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Writing, there was
king named King Author who loved his three daughters so
much he could hardly stand it. He never wanted to let
them go. But he knew he had to let them move on in their
lives because keeping such beautiful and intelligent young
ladies cooped up forever would be a crime, to say the least.
So King Author had a competition to find the best suitor
for each of his daughters. The competition was so
successful that his daughters and the suitors were able to
figure out who was the best suitor for each of them and
there was no disagreement whatsoever. Each daughter
married the proper suitor and everyone lived happily ever
after.

11. A long time ago, in the Writing Kingdom, King Author
adored his three daughters so deeply, it was
maddening. He wanted to keep them forever and
ever. However, he knew he had to let them grow up,
get married, and begin their own lives because it
would be a shame to keep such beauty hidden.
Therefore, the king created a competition to find the
best suitor for each daughter. The competition was a
success and each suitor and each daughter figured
out, on their own, which match was the best, and it
was done without any arguing. From that time
forward, they lived the happiest lives that ever there
could be.

12. In a land long ago, in the Kingdom of Writing, King Author
loved his daughters so deeply, he never wanted them to
leave his side. However, he knew, to be fair to them and
considerate to their striking beauty and amazing
intelligence, he had to allow them to move on with their
lives and marry. Subsequently, King Author created a
competition in order to find the best man for each of his
daughters. The challenge was a success and each daughter
and each suitor was able to know beyond the shadow of a
doubt who they should marry, without disagreement. All
three daughters married the proper suitor and all three
couples lived the rest of their lives in marital bliss.
