"One pon a time"

One pon a time there was a little girl with the silkiest, curliest golden hair. There was only one thing she loved more than telling stories and being the center of attention -- donuts!

The End.

"Achilles Toe"

Most have heard of the story about Achilles. However, many have it entirely wrong. The true story was how it was actually his toe that did him in. His little toe, to be precise. For it was his single left pinkie toe that his mother used to dip him into the waters. This hidden weakness was unknown until the day he was spooked by his pet tiger and flung violently into the side of a marble column. As his body crashed against the deep grooves in the surface, his pinkie toe was caught at a sharp angle which twisted it 180 degrees backwards and 27 times around. This was the worse pinkie toe twist that the world had ever seen or would ever see again. Mothers guarded the eyes of their children then immediately fainted at the sight. Grown men recoiled in horror and burst into tears at a mere glimpse of the horrendous tragedy. The only two beings that were able to stomach the gruesome torture was Achilles own mother and father. Both just stared at the squirming, screaming prisoner to pain, and said calmly, "Get over it. You will be fine."
