Once upon a time, in a magic kingdom, there lived a handsome prince. Prince Charming, he was called by one and all. And to this land came a gentle princess. You could say she was Cinderella.
Magic kingdom? Okay, if you're going to be a stickler for accuracy, in this fairy tale the kingdom is Manhattan. But there's magic in the Big Apple, isn't there? Prince Charming? Oh, boy! You've heard the rumors, I suppose. So, he's Prince Not-So-Charming on occasion. So he drives an orange pick-up truck, not a pumpkin coach. Big deal! He is handsome. Cinderella? Well, maybe she does wear blue suede shoes instead of glass slippers, but she's looking for happily-ever-after just the same. And I'm going to make sure she gets her prince and her castle, not some hound dog and the Heartbreak Hotel.
--Elmer Presley, fairy godfather
