"The Princess and the Tin Box" by James Thurber (story read by Tom O'Bedlam)

For the first picture of a beautiful princess I am indebted to Susan Maxwell Skinner who painted it. It appears on her website, "Memory of a Rose". Susan will sell you a signed poster-size print for $15 - or the same picture on a greeting card in you prefer something smaller. www.susanmaxwellskinner.com/ce...
The second picture is a drawing by James Thurber, photographed from my old yellowed copy because I couldn't find it on the web.

That's how life is... sometimes, (most times).

@Tallboy119 I appreciate your comment, but I'm sorry I can't allow spoilers.

I had better fetch my chalk and begin writing on the blackboard...

[@Whitewolf1273]

It makes sense being raised strictly to want and own nothing but the best it was the product of her upbringing.
