Perrault added a moral to the end of Cinderella: "A woman's beauty is a rare treasure, but even richer in value is courtesy. "Courtesy" comes from "court"--it's a royal word, and it made Cinderella a queen. So, take heed! If you wish to win a prince's heart, courtesy is more vital than elegant hair. It's the true gift of the Fairies. With it you can accomplish anything"

"The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea/In a beautiful pea-green boat,/They took some honey, and plenty of money,/Wrapped up in a five-pound note..../They dined on mince, and slices of quince,/Which they ate with a runcible spoon;/And hand in hand, on the edge of sand,/They danced by the light of the moon,/The moon,/The moon,/They danced by the light of the moon."
