Sleeping Beauty and Bigfoot (2 tales)

Story One
Once upon a time there was a woman who went off to her college class. When she came home she found that her three children were sporting new shoes.
Some evil witch (probably the mother's alter ego) had hidden her children's previous pair of shoes from the kind father and when the father had attempted to take the children for some nourishment he could not find the shoes. Thus he tried to cram her children's feet into their dress shoes and decided that the time had come to make a trip to the shoe store. Lo and behold the shoemakers (or at least shoe measurers in this story) discovered that the children's feet had grown a full two sizes since their last shoes. Oh my! Thus the children in this story are sporting shiny new silver sneakers for the boys and the little princess gained some adorable pink with pink flowers (flexible for her newly walking feet) shoes to adorn her feet (perhaps daddy was a bit indulgent for his little princess....).

Story Two
Once upon a time there was a little princess who went to sleep just after her brother's bedtime. She slept and slept and slept so much that her mommy even peeked in to make sure she was still breathing. It was not the first time the little princess had slept through the night, but it was certainly the longest she had slept.
The mommy came home to discover that the little princess's benevolent care taker reported that the little princess had not only slept late, but grazed on food all morning and then had an extra nap and was in fact asleep at the time that the mommy came home from work.
Perhaps the little princess has been put under a "sudden growth spurt" spell!
