Grimm Tales

The Witch's husband wants us all to believe his life is a fairy tale.
If we believe that, he can believe that too.
He speaks of his rose garden, the orchards, the yacht, the summer palaces, the robbers who want his money, the women who want his body, you know, markers of worldly success.
But the sad sad truth is all the jewels and fancy robes his witchy wife is wearing can't hide the fact she poisons people's soup, steals their silver and gold, like Rumpelstiltskin asks for people's children. So now, no matter what he says in praise of his "fairy tale" we are still laughing at his gullibility.
