Once upon a time, *there lived a little girl with a red cape, who laughed at much and cried at little, whom every one called, "Red Riding Hood."* *there lived a beautiful maiden with kindness in spades, who lived with her vile stepmother and stepsisters, whom every one called, "Cinderella," after the ashes left in her hair from cleaning the fireplace.* *there lived a genie in a lamp, who traveled across the lands from hand to hand, whom every one called, "genie," because none knew it's name, for it had been lost long ago to* time. Right now, ***a man climbs Everest, a woman wins a tournament, a child is marked as a genius. we have their names, sealed in our memories. as is only*** right. When a few hundred years of time have passed, They'll say, Once upon a time, ***there lived a man with great determination, and no small amount of love for climbing, whom everybody learned to call, "Everest Man."*** ***there lived a woman who dodged every insult, and practiced until she almost collapsed, whom everybody called, "Yume," because of her inability to stop dreaming.*** ***there lived a child, who grew up in many different places, whom everybody called, "prodigy," because that was what the child was, and the child's name was eventually lost to*** time. Right now, **we haven't anything to say, because the future isn't over yet, and nor will it be, until they talk about us around the campfire, saying,** Once upon a time...
