Family traditions . . .

wans apon a time

Once upon a time there lived a princess and a queen.  They lived in a kasol -- I mean, a castle -- that had a beautiful garden.  But one day, everything wilted.  The queen called the magician.  The magician thought for a minute, then he said, "I can make everything un-wilt."  [And he did.]  The end.
