Once upon a time, there was a girl whose shoes were too big for her feet. As it began to grow colder outside, she began to wear tights, which only added to the slippery, slidey problem of shoes that were . . . too big. One day, this girl happened upon a set of stairs. She began to climb them confidently, forgetting for a few moments her shoe problems. As she reached the very top step and began to step into the hallway above the stairs, her foot slipped from her shoe, leaving it lying on the 2nd step. She sighed, for this was a constant problem. She turned to look back and gasped, for there, kneeling on the stairs was a prince! He slowly picked up her shoe as if he was in slow motion and placed it onto her outstretched foot. It slid on easily for it was too big, you see. This was the moment the girl had dreamed of her entire life! For a handsome prince to come and sweep her shoes off her feet. But when it happened, she became so flustered by looking at the top of the prince’s head that she forgot to look up when he stood. Just as quickly as it happened, it was over. The girl was swept away in a crowd, barely having time to squeak out a “thank you” before being pushed down the hallway. You must know what this means for our young girl. Yes, she did not see the prince. He is somewhere, wandering the land, and she is unable to find him because she doesn’t know what he looks like.
Did you guess?
Yep. This is a true story.
And I’m the clueless young girl, and I still don’t know exactly how it all happened. Why didn’t I just look up? Maybe he’s looking for me! More than likely, he’s not looking at all, just thinking, “I wonder who that random girl was with the weirdly patterned tights and big shoes.”
Sigh
