Two cute stories by the master story-teller, proving that fairy tales can come true.

The first is "Cindy and the Prince." In this story, "Cindy" is actually short for "Cinderella" and "Prince" is the last name of Thorne Prince, the dashing junior VP who she falls in love with. And, where do they meet? At the Christmas Ball! Of course, after all of this has been set up to play out, Cindy must face the cold hard facts that she's a part time student and janitor, and he's probably the richest guy she'll ever meet in her lifetime.

The second story is "Some Kind of Wonderful." In this story, a self-made billionaire (John McFarland) is exerting financial pressure on Judy Lovin's father. He's forcing her dad to sell family heirlooms in a ruthless attempt to take over the family business. Judy's father refers to his daughter as "Beauty." And, McFarland is referred to as the "Beast."

But, McFarland has been pictures of Judy, his socialite dream woman. And he decides he will hold off on the financial pressure if Mr. Lovin will perform one act: send his daughter to stay with McFarland on his private Caribbean Island. When Judy overhears the conversation, she volunteers in the hopes of saving of her family. However, when she visits the island and falls in love with the place, she becomes intrigued by McFarland, too. ANd the sparks soon fly.

Both of these stories are good fairy tales. They make you feel good and end with the "Happy Ever After" that all good tales do!
