Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful princess. Since her father ruled the city, she was certain that everyone adored her. "She has a very nice face!" exclaimed all of the subjects in her kingdom. She had the most fabulous sense of fashion; someone was always jealous of the way she dressed. The princess would never leave the castle without wearing her special glass slippers. She would often spin in a circle to show off her beautiful dresses (which is quite hard to do in glass footwear). Once she spun so fast, she almost tipped over! But she maintained her balance because, after all, she is the most graceful princess in all the land.

One day, several of her loyal subjects asked her for her autograph. Since she just happened to have a pencil in her pocket, she agreed. Above her signature she always wrote this sentence: You must love one another to have peace. She was such a wise and intelligent princess.

Even though she was the smartest princess of them all, her story does not have a happy ending. One morning, as she enjoyed a bowl of cereal, something tragic happened. She had stayed up late the night before reading and did not get enough sleep. The beautiful princess dozed off at the table. Her gorgeous face landed smack dab in the center of her cereal bowl (which happened to be full of milk because she always saved the milk for last.) She drowned that sunny morning in her milk.

Her subjects never quite recovered from their terrible loss. Everyone now only eats dry cereal for breakfast. Milk in cereal has been banned in order to avoid this tragedy from ever occurring again. Everyday at noon the church bell rings in honor of the beautiful princess. No one will ever be able to fill her shoes (especially because they were glass slippers custom made for her dainty feet).
