The Waffle Castle

King Waffle is cheerful, proud and a little impulsive, and he loves waffles more than anything else in the world. On a bright sunny morning he decides to build a castle made completely of waffles, with crisp square walls, towers stacked like pancakes and a gate protected by a syrup moat. His royal bakers and builders agree to help, and soon the golden castle rises, smelling so sweet that invitations travel far and wide.

Hungry visitors come from villages near and far, and among them is Little Pip, a small boy with messy orange hair and a missing front tooth who carries a wooden fork in his belt. King Waffle first laughs at the nibbling, but the walls, towers and even the drawbridge start to shrink day by day. Worried, he calls on Architect Syrup and Architect Butters, who measure every wall, draw new plans and test thick, crunchy waffle bricks with Pip's help. This warm, playful tale by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN follows a king who must trade a wobbly idea for careful planning, and it can be read on Online Masal.
