popping sound She turned her head and saw a strange young man He was dressed just like a knight with a sword and a helmet

"Who are you, and how did you get in my room?" Doris exclaimed The man didn't know He introduced himself as Prince Albert and told Doris a very confusing story

The Prince had been riding his horse to a nearby village when he found himself instantly transported to Doris's room He had no idea how

to get home He seemed very distraught about his situation Doris told him, "Don't worry I will help you until you return to your time."
