Y la atravesó, rompiendo el cristal en mil pedazos.[...] Catapulto había logrado así entrar en distintas fortalezas, pero ¡ay!, el problema llegaba a la hora de salir de ellas. Catapulto siempre era descubierto y tenía que huir por el mismo sitio por el que había entrado… ¡lanzándose por la ventana! ¡Es por eso que tenía la cabeza llena de chichones!
[...]Pero el día que acudió al rescate de la princesa de Pantalonia todo cambió. Catapulto, como siempre, asaltó el castillo impulsado por la catapulta y atravesando otra vidriera más.
-"¡OTGA vez! ¡Qué DOLOG tan TEGGIBLE!"
-"¿Quién eres? ¡Qué haces aquí!" -preguntó la princesa de Pantalonia.
-"No te asustes PGINCESA. TGANQUILA. He venido a GESCATAGTE."
-"¿Rescatarme?"
-"Sí, me envía el GEY."
-"¿Quién?"
-"El EMPEGADOG…”
-"Lo siento, no entiendo nada de lo que di…"
-"¡El MONAGCA!"
-”Ahhh, el rey. Vale, bueno… ¿Y quién te ha dicho a ti que yo necesito que me rescaten?”
-”Ah, ¿no? Vaya, qué CONTGATIEMPO… Se supone que los PGÍNCIPES GESTATAN a las PGINCESAS.”
-”Se supone, sí. Pero, ¿sabes qué? Que yo me sé rescatar solita.”[...]

[...] That was how Catapulto entered different castles, but that was also the problem. How to get out of there? Since he was always discovered, he had no choice but to flee through the same window... hurling himself down. That’s why his head was full of bumps. [...]But something changed that day when he was supposed to save the princess from Pantalonia. As always, Catapulto attacked the castle with force from the catapult, breaking another window in the row. “One MOWE time! What a TEWWIBLE SUFFEWING!” “Who are you and what are you doing here?” - asked the princess from Pantalonia. “PWINCESS, do not get agitated! Stay WELAXED! I have come to WESCUE you.” “Rescue me?” “Yes, the CWOWN sends me.” “Who?” “The EMPEWOW…” “I am afraid I do not understand a word you are say…” “The MONAWCH!” “Oh, the Crown. Sure, but… who said I need to be rescued?” “No? Man, what an AWKWAWDNESS… And PWINCES AWE supposed to WESCUE PWINCESSES.” “That’s what they say, but you know what?” I can do it myself.”[...] ![](https://cfcdn.proz.com/images/pftv6/dark_arr_down.gif) | Entry #38090 — Variant: Not specifiednone

| [...] Prince Catapultio soared towards the window of the tower like a featherless eaglet and smashed through it, glass scattered in every direction. [...] Catapultio had succeeded in breaching particular strongholds like this before, but escaping them was always the difficult part. Catapultio was always discovered and needed to flee the same way he entered... launching himself out of the window! That is why his head was littered with bumps and lumps! [...] However, everything changed on the day that he embarked to rescue the Princess of Pantsland. Catapultio, as per usual, attacked the castle by catapult and smashed through yet another window. - "ANODHER window! Dhad really hurd!" - "Who are you? What are you doing here?!" the Princess of Pantsland proclaimed. - "Do nod fear, Princess, I have draveled here do rescue you." - "To rescue me?" - "Precisely, on dhe orders of your fadher." - "Who?" - "His Majesdy..." - "I do apologize, I do not understand what you are say..." - "DHE PONDENDADE!" - "Ohhh my father.

| Prince Catapult flew like hawk clipped of its wings towards the tower window. He broke the crystal glass into a thousand pieces. He had success before entering into different forts, but whoa! The problem came when it was time to leave one of them. Catapult never could hide and had to flee to the same spot he had entered throwing himself out the window! That’s the reason his head was covered with bumps. But the day he came to the rescue of the Princess from Pantalonia, everything changed. As always, Catapult attacked the castle, propelled by the catapult, and passed through another stained-glass window. “Again! How painful!” “Who are you? What are you doing here?” asked the Princess from Pantalonia. “Don’t be afraid Princess. Stay calm. I have come to rescue you.” “Rescue me?” “Yes, the Ring sent me.” “Who?” “The Emporim…” “I’m sorry, I don’t understand anything you said.” “The Monarky!” “Aw, the King. Okay, good. And who told you that I need someone to rescue me?” “Ah, no. Well. What a shame. Princes are supposed to save princesses. “I suppose so. But, you know what? I know how to rescue myself.” ![](https://cfcdn.proz.com/images/pftv6/dark_arr_down.gif) | Entry #38170 — Variant: Not specifiednone

| Prince Catapult flew like a young bald eagle toward the tower window and crashed through it, shattering the glass into thousands of shards. Catapult had used the same method to enter several fortresses, but the problem came when it was time to leave. His entry was always detected and he had to flee through the same way that he came in...by hurling himself out the window! That's why his head was covered in lumps! But everything changed the day he went to rescue the Princess of Pantalonia. Catapult, as always, used his catapult to storm the castle, entering through another closed window. - "CURDES, not AGAIN! That HUDT TEDDIBLY!" - "Who are you? What on earth are you doing here?," asked the Princess of Patalonia. -"Don't be FDIGHTENED, PDINCESS. I have come to DESCUE you." -"Rescue me?" -"Yes, I was sent by the SOVEDEIGN." -"Who?" -"The DULER.." -"Sorry, I can't understand a thing you're saying." -"The MONADCH!" -"Ah, the king. Well, okay... And who told you that I needed rescuing?" - "You don't? It must be an EDDOD...PDINCES always DESCUE PDINCESSES, don't they?" -"Yes, they are supposed to. But, you know what? I am capable of rescuing myself." ![](https://cfcdn.proz.com/images/pftv6/dark_arr_down.gif) | Entry #38192 — Variant: Canadiancanaeng

| Prince Catapulto flew like an featherless eaglet into the tower window, shattering the glass into a thousand pieces. […] Catapulto had been able to break into a number of strongholds that way. The problem, however, was breaking out of them. He always got caught and had to flee the same way he had gone in… by jumping out the window! No wonder his head was covered in bumps! [...]Everything changed when he decided to rescue Princess Pantalonia. Catapulto charged the castle the way he always did: by hopping into a catapult and getting flung through yet another window. “Not ageen! I’m in so much peen!” “Who are you? What are you doing here?,” asked Princess Pantalonia. “Don’t be afreed, Princess. I have come to the rescue.” “To my rescue?” “Yes. The kink sent me.” “Who?” “The Emprah.” “I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you…” “The Monarch!” “The king! I got it.
