The Confusing Tale of Snow White Part 4
Well, as you may imagine, poor Alexander was going out of his mind searching for the little brat. I thought of telling him, just to put him out of his misery, but I knew that if I did, he would find some way of 'rescuing' her. Remarkable boy. If only I were a little younger… oh well.
I was going to visit her and bring her food when without noticing Alexander was following me. You see, the clever lad had seen me leaving the castle every day, and deduced that this may have something to do with his missing lover. As soon as I left the tower Alex,short for Alexander, yelled up, "Is anybody up there?"
"Alex?" came the brat's voice. She was actually glad to see him, not that he was any fun, but he had such devotion to her, he was sure to find some way to get her free.
"Don't worry, honeybunch! I'll get you down!" Alex winced as he realized how mushy he had just sounded. "I'll get you down… somehow… I know! Snow White, Snow White, let down your hair so that I may climb the golden stair… no that wouldn't work… I can just imagine how much that would hurt!"
"Why don't I just jump down? You could catch me!"
"But my bad back…" Alex protested weakly. "Oh all right. But try to land gently would you?"
A few seconds later…
"OW!!! I told you I had a bad back!"
"You think you've got it bad! I've got a big scratch on my… er… crazy bone!"
"So wear a hat over it and nobody will notice."
Later…
"Curses!" I shouted. "Why does that dratted Alexander keep saving her! What does she have that I don't? Besides a family, a young husband, beauty, charm, bad table manners, Cheez! That girl really does have everything going for her!"
I needed a new idea. I took her to my candy cottage far away and locked her in a cage where no one could find her, while I pondered the situation. Just then, two little children with grubby faces and no manners started eating my house! My house!
