I wrote this on my other blog but I liked it so much, I decided to post it here.

     Once there was a handsome prince who was married to a good and capable girl of semi-noble upbringing. They had three fine, young children. One day, the prince came home with small, collectible toy cars for each of the children. His wife thought it sweet. Then the prince began bringing home more small, collectible toy cars more frequently, first for the children and then for himself. And later still, the prince began a collection for his good and capable wife. At last, the wife began to think that the prince was spending way too much of his hard-earned money on such things and worried what message this was sending to the fine, young children. As sweetly as she could, she hesitantly voiced her concerns to her handsome prince. His reply melted her heart, "Well, when I was a kid, my collection was stolen so I can't share it with my kids." That was all the prince had to say. Instantly, his wife totally understood, smiled and kissed her handsome prince and vowed in her heart to never, ever complain or worry about this issue again.

The End
