... Cinderella was now 75 years old. After a fulfilling life with the
 now dead Prince, she happily sat upon her rocking chair, watching the
 world go by from her front porch, with a cat called Alan for
 companionship.

 One sunny afternoon, out of nowhere, appeared the Fairy Godmother.
 Cinderella said "Fairy Godmother, what are you doing here after
 all these years?" The Fairy Godmother replied "Well Cinderella, since
 you have lived a good, wholesome life since we last met, I have
 decided to grant you 3 wishes. Is there anything for which your heart
 still yearns?"

 Cinderella is taken aback, overjoyed and after some thoughtful
 consideration and almost under her breath she uttered her first wish:
 "I wish I was wealthy beyond comprehension."

 Instantly, her rocking chair was turned into solid gold. Cinderella
 was stunned. Alan, her old faithful cat, jumped off her lap and
 scampered to the edge of the porch, quivering with fear. Cinderella
 said "Oh thank you, Fairy Godmother".

 The Fairy Godmother replied "It is the least I can do. What does your
 heart wish for your second wish?"

 Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said: "I wish I was
 young and full of the beauty of youth again".

 At once, her wish having been desired, became reality, and her
 beautiful youthful visage had returned. Cinderella felt stirrings
 inside her that had been dormant for years and long forgotten vigour
 and vitality began to course through her very soul.

 Then the Fairy Godmother again spoke "You have one more wish, what
 shall you have?" Cinderella looked over to the frightened cat in the
 corner and said: "I wish you to transform Alan my old cat into a
 beautiful, and handsome young man".

 Magically, Alan suddenly underwent so fundamental a change in his
 biological make-up, that when complete he stood before her, a
 boy, so beautiful the like of which she nor the world had ever seen,
 so fair indeed that birds begun to fall from the sky at his feet.

 The Fairy Godmother again spoke: "Congratulations, Cinderella.
 Enjoy your new life." And, with a blazing shock of bright blue
 electricity, she was gone.

 For a few eerie moments, Alan and Cinderella looked into each
 other's eyes. Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most
 stunningly perfect boy she had ever seen. Then Alan walked over to
 Cinderella, who sat transfixed in her rocking chair, and held her
 close in his young muscular arms.

 He leant in close to her ear, and into her ear breathed as much as
 whispered, blowing her golden hair with his warm breath, "I bet you
 regret having my knackers chopped off now, don't you?"
