Once upon a time, a
Baker and his Wife wished to have a child, Cinderella wished to attend the
King’s Festival, and Jack (of Beanstalk fame) wished his cow would give some
milk. When everyone’s wishes are
granted, the consequences of their self-centered actions come to haunt them.
Eventually, they learn a poignant life lesson
about working together, the stories we tell our children, and the real meaning
of “happily ever after.”
