Shining feet
There was once a king and a queen, who had brought a child into the world. But when the queen looked upon her child and saw that she was not normal, for she was born with golden feet. They feared for her safety. So they but there slaves to work. They ordered them to build a tower in the woods with only one window and a ladder on the side so you can get in and out. But they never heard of the witch that lived there.
Many years went by and the princess was 7 years of age. And the tower was complete. The king and queen told their daughter that they were going to put her in a tower. For they are tired of having her locked up I the castle and being hid from the world. For when the princess was born the king told the people that it was a still born. Before the princess went into the tower she vowed that she would not marry a man who only loves her for her golden feet, but for her heart. And with that she went into the tower and waited for someone to Wisk her away.
Many years past, and so have the princes from around the world and the simpleton in the region. For they are trying to prove that they love her for her and not her feet. But they all tried to cut off her feet and run away. The witch finally made up the perfect plan. She called her handsome son forth.
"My son" she crackled "you should go see the princess, and you will feed her an apple from the tree in the backyard. Once she has taken a bite she instantly falls asleep. And when that happens you will take this knife and cut off her feet! And bring them to me!"
"But mother, I might fall in love, for I have never seen her before"
"No my son, don't fall in love. Do not look upon her face"
"Then I will go mother".
The next day the son went to the backyard and cut an apple off the tree and headed for the tower. Once he reached the tower, he climbed up the ladder and went through the window. The princess saw him, but he had to keep his eyes shut, with that he tripped and his eyes were forced open. He laid his eyes on the princess and went into a deep swoon.
"You there" she said 'have you come to win my heart? Or my golden feet?"
"I have come to win your heart. Here! I have brought an apple for you eat"
He handed her the apple and soon she fell to the ground asleep. He brought the knife that the witch had given him and held it high over her feet. But then he looked upon her sleeping face. Right then he knew that he could not do it. So he sat and waited for her to wake up again.
Many hours later she awoke with a dizzy head. She saw that the man was asleep on the stool, waiting for her to wake…only he fell asleep. Her heart overwhelmed with love, for she thought that he would cut off her feet. Soon enough he awoke and saw her "I have agreed to marry you" he smiled and hugged and kissed her. Dark and thunder started to swarm around the tower. Following that was the cry of the witch.
"You betrayed me! I gave you a home, food, clothes and all I ask you to do is one simple thing. But no, you had to fall in love"
\thunder came upon the tower and started to crack and crumble. The couple held onto each other awaiting their fate and then the tower fell. When the dust and debris cleared up the only thing standing was the couple and the window pane. When the witch saw this she screamed. In fact she screamed so much her tongue well out, and ran away with a trial of blood. The princess and the man rejoiced in their luck and lived happily ever after.
