"Setswana Love"

Matt had no idea where he was. He was searching in his airship to see if he could find his space map. Then, all of a sudden, his airship started to float in the direction of the village. He hoped that the people in the village were nice.
When Matt got to the village he saw many people on the street because there was a holiday. He went over to a guy and said “Hi, I am Matt. What is your name?” The guy said “I am Costinco, but people call me Costin. I am the blacksmith of Setswana.”

“What are we celebrating?”

“We are celebrating the engagement of Princess Swana and Prince Conja.”

“Why is Princess Swana so mad?”

“King Setswan is over-protective and in Setswana, the father decides who will their child marry.”

“Costin, do you know where the best hotel is?”

“The best hotel in Setswana is Setswana is Setswana Royal.”

“Thank you very much, COstin. I hope I see you again. Bye.”

Matt went straight to Setswana Royal, got a suite and went to his room. In his room, Matt saw Princess Swana crying. Matt asked “Why are you sad.”

“I am stressed out.”

“I thought being royalty is a ball” then chuckled.

“Very funny. I am stressed out because I am becoming soon and I have to get marry to that rat.” Matt said “why don’t you quit”

“Ya, you are right. I am the Princess, I am making the rules around here.”

At the castle Swana went up to her father and “I am not marrying that rat Conja. I am marrying my true love, Matt.”

So Prince Matt and Princess Swana had a happy life. There was Setswana Love.
