Chapter One
Once upon a time, in ancient China, Annie Pooh, Princess Pup, was walking with the princess in the palace gardens. Annie Pooh, Princess Pup, picked up a stick off the ground and brought it to the princess.
The princess didn't know what to do with the stick, so she threw it away. Seeing where the stick landed, Annie Pooh ran after it and brought it back to the princess.
The princess then realized that Annie wanted to play fetch. After that, the princess and Annie spent many happy hours playing fetch.
One day Mi Lou, one of the princess's maids, was walking with Annie and the princess in the garden. After throwing the stick, the princess suddenly called out Mi Lou's name and pointed to the maid.
Annie Pooh, Princess Pup, looked slightly confused at first, but the princess kept pointing at the maid. Annie Pooh finally trotted over to Mi Lou and dropped the stick.
The princess and Mi Lou were very delighted with Annie and praised and petted Annie so much that Annie decided that this was not a bad way to play fetch.
Soon Annie Pooh became very good at this game. The maids could even hide behind bushes and behind benches, but Annie Pooh always found them and gave them the stick the princess had thrown.
One day the neighboring prince arrived with gifts for the princess. One of the gifts was a half-grown Lhasa apso puppy that was a cousin to Annie Pooh. The prince said that the puppy's name was MarLee and that MarLee was named after a famous queen who had ruled the prince's province several hundred years earlier.
As Annie Pooh sniffed MarLee's nose, the puppy licked Annie's Pooh's face, and from that moment onward, MarLee followed Annie Pooh everywhere.
At first Annie Pooh wasn't so sure she wanted a puppy around all the time. But as time went by, Annie Pooh learned to wrestle with and chase MarLee. When they chased one another, their small legs would move so fast that not even the quickest of the maids could catch them. The little dogs were so funny when they ran that everyone would smile and laugh at them.
On his way home from visiting the princess, the prince had to pass near the border of the king of Tsoo's province.
When the prince neared the border of the king of Tsoo's province, some of the king's soldiers stopped the prince and told him the king wanted to talk to the prince.
When the prince finally talked to the king of Tsoo, he found out that the king wanted a large amount of gold before he would allow the prince to return home.
When the king found out that the prince had no gold with him, the king locked the prince in his jail and posted a guard at the door.
