My Obscure Fairytale

So, as everyone here should know by know, I'm a huge fan of Sarah Beth Durst, and on her blog she has this segment of obscure fairy tales, and after I read them all, I decided to write my own! So, here it is, at no extra charge:

Once there lived a woodcutter and his daughter. He desperatly wanted a son to teach the ways of the woodcutter, so one day he sent his daughter to go find a husband and told her that if she did not return successfully in three days, he would turn her into a pigeon. Not wanting to be a pigeon, she set off immediately.

While walking along the road on the first day, she came upon a lion. And the lion told her if she would come close to him and brush his mane, he would marry her. Fearful of the beast, she refused and continued on her way.

On the second day, she met an ostrich, and the ostrich told her that if she would kiss him, he would marry her. Disgusted by the fowl, she refused and continued on her way.

On the third day, she met a handsome young man who said to her that is she would fearlessly brush the mane of the lion and willingly kiss the beak of a wretched ostrich, he would marry her. She agreed for he was good and strong and she wished to marry him.

So she set about her task, and when she had succeeded, returned to the man. But when she arrived, she found that he had transformed into her father the woodcutter. He explained that he had tricked her into accepting the marriage of both the lion and the ostrich, for they were both strong and wouold make good woodcutters.

So she wed the two beasts and the woodcutter's new sons learned the ways of a woodcutter. The daughter, glad to not be turned into a pigeon but upset at her new husbands, left her home, he father, and her two husband's and ran away. In the road, she met a prince, and the two wed and lived happily ever after.

The End

How was it? In my opinion, it's very fairy tale-ish.
