Chapter Ten (J) Excuse me? (T) Snow White was in the box. Yeah, Disney took all the things that had Beauty sleeping in them... (L) Did you ever stop and think about that symbology: Sleeping Beauty? Being awakened by a kiss? (L) No! (L) That’s another analogy. Being awakened from the illusion into which one has been put by the evil witch... (T) Yeah, all of Grimm’s fairy tales were really pretty grim. They have been cleaned up a whole lot. (L) Yeah, in the original Cinderella, the step sister cut off part of her foot to get it to fit the slipper and the Prince found her out because of the dripping blood. (L) Yeah, it’s pretty grim. One cut her heel off and the other cut her toes off. And we are back to Ruby Slippers. Wonder what that can mean? It’s gonna take some work to figure it out! 304 (L) Well, I've heard that Cinderella is politically incorrect nowadays, too. (T) Because she didn’t sleep with one foot on the floor like all the sitcoms. (T) I don’t know. (S) We went from Oz to sitcoms? (J) I think you are mixing your metaphors. (S) That was Sleeping Beauty. (T) Yeah, that was Sleeping Beauty in the box. (J) And one foot on the floor. (L) No, Snow White was in the box. (F) Who turns into a frog. (F) Oh, that’s right, the frog turns into a prince. (F) And Cinderella... (J) Rumplestiltskin... (S) The Ugly Duckling... (J and S) Ooooh! Yuck! (T) Must have been the glass slipper, cut my foot!
