Cinderella was now approaching the ripe old age
of 80, having had a
very fulfilling life with the Prince who was
had long since passed
away.. She happily sat in her old wooden rocking
chair, watching the
world go by from her front porch, her tomcat,
Alan, sitting in her
lap for companionship.
One sunny afternoon out of nowhere appeared the
Fairy Godmother. "Oh my,
Fairy God Mother! What are you doing here
after all these years?"
Cinderella asked in amazement.
The Fairy God Mother smiled and warmly said, "Well,
Cinderella, you have
lived a good, wholesome life since we last met,
so I have decided to grant
you 3 wishes. Is there anything for which
your heart still yearns?"
Cinderella was taken aback but simultaneously
overjoyed, and after a brief
few moments of thoughtful consideration, and
almost under her breath, she
uttered her first wish: "I wish I was wealthy
beyond comprehension."
Instantly, her rocking chair was turned into
pure gold. Cinderella was
astouded as all her old belongings were similarly
transformed. Alan, her
old faithful cat, jumped off her lap and scampered
to the edge of the
porch, hunkering down part-way behind a potted
plant with apprehension.
"Oh, thank you, Fairy God Mother!" exclaimed Cinderella,
her eyes alight.
The Fairy God Mother beamed and warmly replied,
"After all this time, it is
the least I can do for you. Now, tell me
you second wish."
Cinderella strained to look down at her frail
body through clouded eyes and
said, "I wish I was once again strong, vibrant,
young and full of the
beauty of youth!" At once her wish became
reality: her vision became
perfect, and her beautiful youthful visage and
beautiful golden hair
returned. Cinderella felt energy welling
up, and stirrings deep inside her
which had been dormant for years. A long-forgotten
vigor and vitality
began to course through her very soul.
Smiling warmly, the Fairy God Mother again spoke.
"You have one more wish,
my dear. What shall you have?" Cinderella
parted her full, ruby lips and
looked over to her frightened cat in the corner.
"I wish for you to
transform Alan, my old cat, into a beautiful,
strong, handsome young man!"
Magically, Alan suddenly underwent so fundamental
a change in his
biological makeup that, when complete after mere
seconds, he stood before
her as a muscular young man -- the likes of which
neither she nor anyone
else in the entire world had ever seen -- so
fair indeed that birds begun
to dizzily fall from the sky to sing softly at
his feet.
The Fairy God Mother adjusted her wand and quickly
spoke for the last time.
"Congratulations, Cinderella. Enjoy your
new life! Bye now!" And with a
blazing shock of bright blue electricity, she
was gone forever.
For a few eerie moments, Alan and Cinderella gazed
lovingly into each
others' eyes. Cinderella sat, tense and
breathless, totally amazed to see
the most stunningly perfect man she had ever
had the good fortune to cast
her eyes on. The bronzed Alan strode over
to Cinderella who sat transfixed
in her golden rocking chair, trembling with anticipation.
He powerfully
pulled her up to his broad chest and held her
close in his young, muscular
arms. He leaned close to her ear, and breathed
as much as whispered,
nibbling at her neck and blowing her golden locks
with his sweet, warm
breath . . .
"... I bet you regret having me neutered, don't
you?
