Once upon at time... yeah, there was a little girl and she, of course, dreamed of her Prince. What can I say...it was back THEN. She'd met many who purported to be Princes, but alas, not the case. She decided to give it up and retreated to a tower, threw down the steep ladder and decided that the true Prince would have to rescue her...aha! a test.
A young man came by and asked why she was staying in the tower by herself. She said she was waiting for a Prince to rescue her... he said, 'I'm no Prince, but I can help you get down.' He had her look around to find what she had in the tower to build her own ladder. Often discouraged, she was encouraged by him to try another way and not to give up. Finally after many attempts she was able to get down from the tower. He didn't change into a Prince and was still just a young man, but he had given her the gift of herself...And yes, they lived happily ever after facing their problems together.
Well, of course, this is a true story...and I did find my Prince. He didn't come on a shiny black steed nor was he wearing a white hat. Actually he came with a Siberian Husky and a Plymouth with a bad exhaust. He didn't 'rescue' me from the tower, he showed me how to rescue myself.
It has never been easy...but THAT'S a thing of fairy tales!
