[lfjokes] Cinderella.

[Craig Wright]

Cinderella is now 75 years old. After a fulfilling life with the now Dead
Prince, she happily sits upon her rocking chair, watching the world go by
from her front porch, with a cat named Bob for companionship. One sunny
afternoon, out of nowhere, appeared the Fairy Godmother.

Cinderella said "Fairy Godmother, what are you doing here after all these
years?"

The Fairy godmother replied, "Cinderella,you have lived an exemplary life
since I last saw you. I will grant you three wishes. Is there anything for
which your heart still yearns?"

Cinderella was taken aback, overjoyed, and after some thoughtful
consideration, and almost under her breath she muttered her first wish: "I
wish I were wealthy beyond comprehension."

Instantly, her rocking chair was turned into solid gold. Cinderella was
stunned. Bob, her old faithful cat, jumped off her lap and scampered to the
edge of the porch, quivering with fear.

Cinderella said, "Oh thank you, Fairy Godmother".

The Fairy Godmother replied "It is the least I can do. What does your heart
want for your second wish?"

Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said: "I wish I were young
and full of the beauty of youth again".

At once, her wish became reality, and her beautiful youthful visage
returned. Cinderella felt stirrings inside her that had been dormant for
years. A long forgotten vigor and vitality began to course through her.

Then the Fairy Godmother again spoke "You have one more wish, what shall
you have?"

Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat in the corner and says, "I wish
for you to transform Bob, my old cat, into a kind and handsome young man".

Magically, Bob suddenly underwent so fundamental a change in his biological
make-up, that when complete he stood before her, a man, so beautiful the
likes of which neither she nor the world had ever seen, so fair indeed that
birds began to fall from the sky at his feet. The Fairy Godmother again
spoke, "Congratulations, Cinderella. Enjoy your new life."

And, with a blazing shock of bright blue electricity, she was gone. For a
few eerie moments, Bob and Cinderella looked into each others eyes.
Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most stunningly perfect man she
had ever seen. Then Bob walked over to Cinderella, who sat transfixed in
her rocking chair, and held her close in his young muscular arms.

He leaned in close blowing her golden hair with his warm breath as he
whispered: "Bet you're sorry you neutered me now."
