So Young, Yet So Wise

Maia clambered into Noonah's bed in the morning, and demanded a story. Noonah, tired as she was, started telling her a story (which is quite a cunning device to have a half-brain snooze...)

She was happily spinning a tale about Rory Purple McBarry (a dragon) and Princess Pink Maia (guess who), when Maia decided it was her turn to contribute. So here it is:

Romance, According To Maia.

Princess Pink Maia lived in a tower. The Handsome Prince climbed up the walls of the tower and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Princess Pink Maia woke up, and kissed her Handsome Prince. And he turned into a frog.

The End.

Now, how much time and heartache would we save the women of the world if that was the version we read when we were young?
