Cinderella was now 75 years old. After a fulfilling life with the
now dead Prince, she happily sat upon her rocking chair, watching
the world go by from her front porch, with a cat called Alan for
companionship.
One sunny afternoon, out of nowhere, appeared the Fairy Godmother.
Cinderella said "Fairy Godmother, what are you doing here after
all these years?"
The Fairy Godmother replied "Well Cinderella, since you have lived
a good, wholesome life since we last met, I have decided to grant
you 3 wishes. Is there anything for which your heart still
yearns?"
Cinderella is taken aback, overjoyed and after some thoughtful
consideration and almost under her breath she uttered her first
wish: "I wish I was wealthy beyond comprehension."
Instantly, her rocking chair was turned into solid gold.
Cinderella was stunned. Alan, her old faithful cat, jumped off her
lap and scampered to the edge of the porch, quivering with fear.
Cinderella said "Oh thank you, Fairy Godmother".
The Fairy Godmother replied "It is the least I can do. What does
your heart wish for your second wish?"
Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said: "I wish I was
young and full of the beauty of youth again".
At once, her wish having been desired, became reality, and her
beautiful youthful visage had returned. Cinderella felt stirrings
inside her that had been dormant for years and long forgotten
vigor and vitality began to course through her very soul.
Then the Fairy Godmother again spoke "You have one more wish, what
shall you have?"
Cinderella looked over to the frightened cat in the corner and
said: "I wish you to transform Alan my old cat into a beautiful
and handsome young man".
Magically, Alan suddenly underwent so fundamental a change in his
biological make-up, that when complete he stood before her, a boy,
so beautiful the like of which she nor the world had ever seen, so
fair indeed that birds begun to fall from the sky at his feet.
The Fairy Godmother again spoke: "Congratulations, Cinderella.
Enjoy your new life." And, with a blazing shock of bright blue
electricity, she was gone.
For a few eerie moments, Alan and Cinderella looked into each
other's eyes. Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most
stunningly perfect boy she had ever seen.
Then Alan walked over to Cinderella, who sat transfixed in her
rocking chair, and held her close in his young muscular arms.
He leant in close to her ear, and into her ear breathed as much as
whispered, blowing her golden hair with his warm breath, "I bet
you regret having me neutered now, don't you?"
