It was overcast today, but the sky cleared later. This afternoon, I learned about a modern revision of "Cinderella" that I think is even better. Unlike the original, which suggests a prince or fairy godmother will solve everything, this story teaches children a different lesson: we must ultimately rely on ourselves. Fairytales don't come true, magic wands don't exist, and we need to stand tall, using our own wit and determination to overcome problems.

You are right again! However, a little bit of magic is fun.
