'Providance of 'Me- Lo- Ley' there lived a family...
"Name of...
'Pi- Lue.'
"And this is where this amazing Fairytale begins!"
...
"Mommy San?"
Yes Mi- lue?
"Mommy San, when I grow up I want to be a Princess and marry a Prince!"
Yes dear...
Fifteen, Years, Later...
...
"Once When Gods Ruled the Land and Cobblers were rare...
"Respected as Grand..
"There was an old, cobbler named Ghepetto...
...
"Gepetto?"
Yes Pinnocheo?
"The Order for 'Pi- Lue Family?"
Yes Gepetto?"
"Is it ready?"
"Yes and a 'MASTERPIECE!"
"To say the least!"
"There daughter will be surprised for it is her 'Twenty- First Birthday!"
Replied Gepetto.
...
"Mother- San, they are so beautiful!"
"The bluest are the clearest and the crystal is the finest!"
States Mother- San.
"Yes, the finest slippers in the Land!"
"I will surely find a Prince that I dreamed...
"Dreamed for all my life...
Exclaimed Mi- lue.

Note: "The Ball was created with intention of finding a proper suiter for 'Prince Lee.'
"Soon to be King of all China!"
'Prince Lee' had enormous shoes to fill!"
"He not only needed a beautiful 'Queen' but an intelligent one...

"The Ball."
"The Carrages arrived in droves from all over China."
"Zang- Ki- Sak, Pe- King, Piu- Li- Su, and the 'Providance of Me-Lo- Ley."
"The evening though...
"Was to be...
"Less than pleasant?"
"Lets see...
Annie...
...
"The music started...
"The Waltz of 'Pi- Su- OhX' and only the most delicant dancer could compete...
"Or complete...
Note: All the Future Princesses dance alone in the center of...
'The Great Hall' for judging by The King and Queen of China!"
...
"King- A- San!"
Yes, Prince Lee?
"The One in...
'The Glass Slippers Of Blue?'
"She seems to be dancing on air for you Prince!"
Notices the King.
"And, she is so beautiful too!"
States Prince Lee.
"Yes son and the Queen noticed that too!"
"Suddenly...
...
'A GREAT WIND' WISKED...
"MI- LUE AWAY!"
"Upon further investigations...
"By The Royal Family...
...
"The Prince...
(Noticing a single, glass, slipper of Blue)
"Collaspes in a horrid heap outside the Castle, lieing next to...
"One, Single, Glass, Slipper, of Blue...
...
"The Prince was devestated!"
"The reward was posted!"
'1,000.000.000.Gold Pings!"
"Posted throughout China by...
"For the return of...
"The Matching, Magical, Blue- Glass Slipper!"
"King Lee."
...
'Investigatiors from all over China, came and went without a single clue or Ping!"
Until...
...
"Mother- San?"
Yes Mi- lue?
"The Ball?"
"I lost my, slipper when...
"THE GREAT WIND" wisked me away?"
"Why Mother- San?"
"Forget the Prince Lee it was not meant to be...
Replies Mother- San Angrily!
"You life is here with me and 'Poppa San weaving straw into baskets...
Meanwhile back at Ghepetto's shop...
...
"We have gotten many requsts for...
"The Slipper of Crystal, Blue.'
"Ghepetto."
Stated Pinnocheo.
"Yes, the same one that were crafted for...
'The Pi- lue Family a year ago."
Adds Ghepetto.
"Impossible to duplicate!"
One Year Later...
...
"The Decree Posted...
'The 'Hand of Prince Lee' to the person who provides the...
"The matching...
'Magical Glass Slipper' that could dance on thin air...
...
"Thousands Upon....
"Thousands came but not one would match...
"Exactly in shape and in size...
"Crafted by fine cobblers through out the Land!"
...
"Mother- San?"
Yes Mi- lue?
"The Slipper...
"The Lost and Magical Slipper?'
"Maybe that was mine?"
"We should return to Peking Mother- San?"
"No!"
"The repeated journey back To Peking would be much too long Mi- lue...
But..
"But Mother- San?"
"The very, next, day...
...
"Mi- lue hides in a horse, covered, wagon in hopes of?"
"A Journey to Peking and marrying...
"Her Prince...
"Her Prince Lee?"
...
"The Journey to Peking?"

"The wagon ride was long and tardy...
"Wet and cold!"
"But Mi- lue convinced herself...
"To be strong!"
"Back home, Mother and Father-San figured that their daughter 'Mi- lue' was following her Heart so...
"They prayed for a safe and speedy return...
...
"The covered wagon finally arrived in Peking after Ninety Nine Days and Nights...
"Exhausted, Mi- lue asked for directions to the Castle...
...
"You must travel forty- four kilometers North - East."
Stated the stranger.
"And, there may be danger!"
...
"Again, Mi- lue finds a 'Covered wagon' to hide under and quickly falls asleep...
...
"She dreams of her Prince and prays...
"And, she awakens at the entrance to the Castle!"
"Excited, she jumps down and...
"Up above, she hears a voice...
...
"Why are you here young woman?"
Questions the King.
"I have the matching Slipper of Blue."
Replies Mi- lue.
"Go home young, woman where you belong."
States the King.
"Please Sir I have come from afar....
"Enter but for just a moment...
...
"Hi, I am Prince Lee.
"You have somethong to show me?"
"Yes...
"Trembling, Mi- lue drops the 'Slipper of Clear, and Pure ...
"Blue Glass besides the Prince's feet!"
"Startled and surprised it didn't break on the hard, marble, floor...
"He gently picks it up and matches it with the lost one..
"He looks up at Mi- lue...
"And...
...
"Once When Gods Ruled the Land...
"A poor, young, Chinese woman's...
"Dream...
"Came true...
"The End.
24.
"Ahh, I can't stop crying readers!"
States Annie.
"And the Lesson of the Day?"
"Dreams can come true and happen...
"To you!"
Annie Oakley.
