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...
