The Rewritten Ending of The Tale of Despereaux

    “What did you say your name was,” the king asked. “His name is Despereaux,” the Pea said before Despereaux had a chance to speak. “Well, Despereaux, for you courage in saving my daughter, all mice are now welcome in my castle.” Antoinette gasped in surprise as she had been eavesdropping on the conversation.

    “Also,” the king said,”as I talked about your courage and bravery Despereaux, I grant you with the privilege of eating soup. In fact, I will now allow the entire kingdom to eat soup as they please.” The Princess Pea then spoke up, “Father, can we have a soup feast with all of the kingdom in honor of Despereaux?” “Yes, let us have a feast with all of the kingdom for the mouse and Despereaux, invite all of the mice you can find to the feast. Let the servants start preparing and someone tell Cook that we are going to be needing a lot of soup within the next few hours.”

    The Pea then got a tap on the shoulder and saw that Despereaux was standing there. “Thank you so much for suggesting the feast. I never thought I would tell you this but, I love you.”
