It was the afternoon of my eighty-first birthday,

  • It was the afternoon of my eighty-first birthday, and I was in bed with my catamite when Ali announced that the archbishop had come to see me.
  • I don't know if it was because of the Archbishop coming but shortly affer Ali had spoken I felt a sharp tingle in shooting up my arm and a numbness in half of my face. Ali looked
  • dazed as the Archbishop threw another straight punch into Ali's face. My face hurt too as I watched Ali stumble to his corner. The crowd went wild! The Archbishop pranced around
  • because he felt so free in his large boxing trunks. Ali was mystified. Where did the Archbishop get such a hard punch? And then Ali saw it, the Archbishops corner man had horse sho

  • Ali shouted as she summoned the powerful dark magic she kept in the necklace her grandmother gave her. She had always hated her grandmother, and the archbishop was just like her.
  • But none the less, she still found the residual power rather useful, and so on this particular occasion, she was grateful for the amulet. Now, it was time for the thieves to pay fo

  • Her mum was pleased that she had been listened to, so she cooked a roast goose on the fire. The amulet had yielded a goose at the doorstep, just when they needed more food. It was
  • Each day the goose reappeared & they roasted it until one day the prince came calling looking for the girl who fit in the tutu. He married the goose who lived happily ever after.

    Full disclosure, I stole my fold idea from the Grimm Brothers who stole it from Charles Perrault who stole it from Giovanni Boccaccio who stole it from a housewife in Certaldo.
