This true story is one that my Uncle Rich told my sister and I when we were only tots.
"Once upon a time, there was a princess named Princess SamBekaRebekahSam. She lived in a castle in Uzbekestan where she lived freely and happily among her subjects.
But, one day, Princess SamBekaRebekahSam was kidnapped. She was taken away to a far away land on the other side of the world, where her kidnappers locked her in a cage that was no bigger than a box of bread. They the box closed with a huge iron lock and threw the key into the St. Louis river, where it was swallowed by a little baby walleye.
That walleye has grown up since then, and the key still lives in its belly. And Princess SamBekaRebekahSam is still trapped in that far away country, locked in the tiny cage. So, whenever you catch a walleye in the St. Louis river, make sure to look in its belly for the key. You never know if you'll be the one to find it and free the princess. And, if you find a small fish that's too tiny to keep, give it a kiss. He'll spread the word and send the key fish your way."
