Mirror Mirror on the wall.

Posted in: PATA
There once was a small mining town and in a forest near the town lived seven ethically challenged short people. Alone and lost in the woods was a Princess. Her evil step mother had tried to arrange her demise by leaving her alone in the forest over night.

This all started went the evil Step Mother would go her Mirror to consult the latest events in her Little Kingdom. ?“Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who in this land is evilest of all?”? ''You, My Stepmother.'' Then one day the mirror replied that her Princess was the evilest of all. She ban the Princess to the forest to fend for herself.

The Princess awoke after the first night lonely and afraid. Not knowing where she was, she wondered through the forest and came upon a little house. The house was filled with very small furniture. Sense it was small and cozy she decided to stay and make herself at home. Tired from her long night she laid down and fell asleep. Only to be awoken by these seven little men.

They were all very hard workers and their work in the mines paid them handsomely. Their long commute to their work took them out of the lovely forest and into the cold dark mines of the seven mountains.

Banning the King?’s daughter to the forest was not a wise move on the part of the evil step mother. She soon realized that by the letters the princess was writing. The princess began writing her father, the King, about the abuse at the hands of her stepmother. When there was no response from the King she tried writing to the tax collector. The evil stepmother had bribed the postman to deliver the princess?’ letters to her instead of the father.

The evil stepmother tried to intimidate the seven dwarfs by having the tax collector raise their taxes. She told the dwarfs if they turned the Princess out into the forest again, their taxes would go back to their original lower levels. Under great pressure to resolve their dilemma the seven dwarfs had a meeting on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30 P. M.

During the meeting Dopey said nothing because he wanted to get the family farm rezoned. Sleepy resigned from the dwarfs and retired. Bashful didn?’t say anything but was elected to Chair the next executive committee meeting. Grumpy told the rest of them to WAKE UP! Happy laughed at some dump jokes, but nothing of substance. Sneezy promised the world to everyone and then blew one over everyone. By the end of the meeting, the seven dwarfs had decided to throw the princess out and return their lives to normal.


After the meeting they all headed home to confront the Princess. It was late and they saw a light in their window as they approached their small home. One by one they stood on a box and peaked into the window. There was their Princess taking a bath. From then on they would call her Snow White. Her skin was milky white and soft. It was also decided then and there to work late to pay the extra taxes and install a much larger window so they all could view their guest together. Of course they made a little extra room for the constable.
The story doesn?’t end happily yet. Please stay tuned for the Handsome Prince on the White Horse that comes to rescue the Princess.

Nothing like a good ?“fairy?” tale

Dear Ed,

Was Doc the ethically challenged short person who wrote the ?“prescription?” to remain with the other dwarfs after the ballot counts banned him from the forest?

I love a good tale and look forward to your continuing Grimm rendition, no matter how the end unfolds.
