Once there was a fat lady named Cinder
who wanted to buy a pair of shoes that fit
She went all the way to the mall
found a frog-looking salesman named Paul.
“Have you got a pair of shoes
that can fit snugly on my feet?”
Froggy Paul looked at Cinder's feet,
surprised at its chunky-looking meat!
“Now let me see what I can find for you…
A pair large enough so your feet don't have to bind,
for you are large on your feet and volume on your behind.”
“I need to find a pair that will really fit
so I can walk on them and feel comfortable when I sit.”
“Well Okay, dear lady!
Let me see what we have here for you!”
“Well, okay beat it!…..you Froggy Paul!
Go find me something in your shoe store!”
Off to the back Froggy Paul went,
he searched and searched, and prayed
for a pair of shoes that is chunkily-made.
Oh goodness! What do you know?
He found a pair of big old crystal slippers!
They were wide on the sides and fat at the toes!!!
He burst out the door,
and took the pair to try them on Cinder
and…
“Wow! These fit like a pair of shoes that is specially-made for you!
Now, don't tell me that you don't like them either!”
Then suddenly, lo...and behold!
Cinder had become slim and beautiful!
and Froggy Paul had become handsome
and looked wonderful!
Paul Ella got down on one knee to propose.
“Cinder, will you marry me?” Paul asked.
“Yes, of course, I will marry you Paul Ella!
And then I will be called Cinder Ella!”
And from then on,
Paul and Cinder Ella lived happily ever after!
And this fairy tale ends with years of laughter!
I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WHEN SHE TOOK THE SHOES OFF? IF THE SPELL WAS BROKEN...I GUESS PAUL AND CINDER WOULD HAVE TO FALL 'REALLY' IN LOVE...SO THAT 'LOOKS' DIDN'T MATTER. ENJOYED AND THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
