Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time there was a young woman who always said “once upon a time”. When her boyfriend became abusive and unfaithful, she said, “Once upon a time he was a real prince.”
When her favorite slippers became ragged and dingy, she said.”Once upon a time they were golden and gossamer.” And when she died, she said to no one in particular, “Once upon a time I was alive.”
