Why would anyone want to cut off their toes to fit in a pair of shoes so they could go riding off with a prince? I guess if he was good-looking or nice, I might understand, but it seems a bit rash.

It serves them right. I'm really glad Cinderella got to go with the prince in the end.

((Someone got her hands on a copy of Grimms Fairy Tales :3))

My, that's quite. . .dramatic.

[chickhasagun]

That's what I said.

[its_a_se_cret]

I'd imagine that the blood loss would kill her.

[chickhasagun]

No. Not from having her toe cut off.

[its_a_se_cret]

Is that so?

At the very least, she would have to learn to walk differently!

[chickhasagun]

Learning to walk differently isn't worth it for a man who doesn't even notice his 'wife's' foot is bleeding.

[its_a_se_cret]

Some people will sacrifice anything to get what they want.

[chickhasagun]

Yes, I've seen that. It's still impractical. But that's supposed to be the moral of the story, right?

[its_a_se_cret]

Quite impractical, yes! But I'm afraid I haven't read the story, so I can't say.

[chickhasagun]

It's called Cinderella.

[its_a_se_cret]

I don't believe I've heard of it. Is it a common story in your world?

[chickhasagun]

It isn't. I read it in a book someone from a different world gave me.

[its_a_se_cret]

I see!

[chickhasagun]

There's a whole book of stories like this, too. It's called Grimms Fairy Tales.

[its_a_se_cret]

Are they all as dramatic as Cinderella?

[chickhasagun]

Cinderella is the most dramatic one so far.
