Once upon a time there were two kids who learned the hard way how much birds like breadcrumbs. While wandering in the forest, they almost got eaten by a candy-loving witch! But thankfully there was an oven handy, and before the witch could make Hanselburgers, Gretel toasted her golden-brown.
Then there was the princess who fled from her mirror-gazing stepmother — seems the old bat wanted Snowy-Girl's heart on a plate. There were complications involving seven midget miners, and she almost got poisoned by a magic apple, but everything turned out OK thanks to True Love's Kiss.
Once there was a person who answered to your name and looked strangely like you. You weren't asking for much — just a nice Prince or Princess to marry, a small castle in the suburbs, and a steady source of gold coins. Unfortunately, you soon realized that True Love is an elusive commodity, and Happy Endings are hard to find.
Sometimes, life has a way of discouraging belief in fairy tales. Just ask Heather.
