Words of the Constant

I've never met a king before,

I didn't know what they looked like.

Ho, ho!

Truth be told,

I've never met a porcelain doll

quite so alive before.

Perhaps we could travel together?

This road is long, and can get quite lonely.

How wonderful!

Would you teach me your magic along the way?

Yeah, scene 3.

I would be delighted.

The plot thickens.

I think you mean sickens.

HA HA HA HA HA!

The little doll walked and walked,

marveling as the countryside gave way

to a bustling city.

One day, she happened upon a man in a golden crown,

traveling down the road.

He twirled his finger in the air,

Back from intermission.

I'm a bit under the weather.

I'm afraid I can't,

there's a full moon out tonight!

Dear me, I couldn't possibly!

Don't you know it's bad luck to teach magic on Wednesdays?

The doll believed the King,

so she waited. And waited...

Until one day,

she found a hidden chamber in the King's castle,

and discovered his secret.

Yes, on to Act 2!

Oh! Hello there, who are you?

I have no name,

I am known only as the magic mirror.

Your King has stolen my power

and kept me hidden away.

How I hunger for freedom.

Just a taste of the outside world...

I knew I didn't trust that King!

Boo! Hiss!

How terrible!

Scene 1.

Don't worry,

I will help you leave this lonely place.

No! My secret has been discovered!

You didn't honor our agreement.

Now this courageous doll has come

to release me from this prison.
