A Frida Kahlo Fairy Tale

Once upon a time there was girl named Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo, known just as Frida Kahlo. She was born July 6, 1907, in Coyoacan, Mexico. She had a great imagination. She had a floating unibrow named Ursula and she would always do her artwork on a cloud for great inspiration.

At the age of seven, she was stricken with polio, confined to bed for nine months, and left with a shrunken right leg and a limp. Then when she was 18, a big enormous giant came to town and caused Frida a tragic car accident. Frida was very lucky she survived that.

She still continued painting.

Then finally she met her prince charming Diego Rivera in 1929, and they lived happily ever after.
