So the prince, accompanied by his seeing-eye dog, was wandering through his father's kingdom, hoping to find a witch. He had been traveling for 2 months & had insulted forty ladies by asking them, "Are you a witch?"

One morning, at breakfast time, a family of bears found that their cereal was too hot. They decided to take a walk through the woods, during which time the cereal would cool.

While the bears were out, a young woman, alias Goldilocks, real name unknown, broke into their house.

First, she entered the dining room and sampled all 3 bowls of cereal. Goldilocks decided that the smallest bowl was most to her liking and ate all the cereal from it.

Then Goldilocks entered the living room and tried to find a comfy chair. The first 2 large chairs didn't suit her, so she tried a smaller one. This chair was meant to be used by a bear cub and didn't support a woman as heavy as Goldilocks. Leaving the broken chair in the middle of the living room, Goldilocks continued to explore the house.

Now the blonde felon came to the bedroom. After trying out all 3 beds, she decided that she preferred the smallest one. Fortunately, this bed was better constructed than the chair & did not break. Goldilocks fell asleep in the smallest bed, as she was very tired.

The bears returned home, noticed the smashed window, and realized that there had been a burglary during their absence. Cautiously, Father Bear unlocked the front door, afraid that there might be an armed criminal in the house. The bears searched the house together. They found the empty cereal bowl and the broken chair. Then Baby Bear heard snores coming from the bedroom. The bears entered their bedroom & awakened the burglar.

Father Bear asked Goldilocks to pay him $312 ($150 for a new chair, $60 to repair the broken window, $100 for the use of the bed -- approximately what the nearest inn charges for one night, and $2 for the cereal). Goldilocks refused to pay, so Father Bear called the police.

Goldilocks was arrested & put on trial. The judge was an owl; the jury consisted of deer, bears and squirrels. The accused was found guilty as charged. She will be out of jail 3 years from now.

Horseman: Once Sebastian had reached the level where the trains were, he started looking for platform 9 3/4. Naturally, it wasn't visible. But he knew he'd have to pass through the seemingly solid partition between platforms 9 & 10, if he was to get to Hogwarts.

Nirvana: And so the shepherd and the princess began their journey to the royal palace.

After walking for 3 miles, they arrived in the city. They visited the market, and bought food for dinner. Then, as they were both tired of walking, they hired a chariot, in order to get to the palace. They paid for both the dinner and the chariot ride with pearls.

When they were at the palace, the princess got out of the chariot, and the shepherd returned to his flock of sheep.

Nirvana:Meanwhile, the abandoned bride walked slowly around the clearing, feeling very lonely and sad at being abandoned. She began to cry. Soon, as a result of the peris' gifts, beautiful flowers were growing in what had previously been an empty clearing. Also, there were many pearls on the ground.
