The story was a retelling of the Cinderella story from the point of view of a young boy (Teddy?) who makes his way into the palace where they are getting ready for the ball. \u00a0He and the rather silly king get in the way of the queen.

At some point the boy unlocks the palace gate with a small key. I believe it is indicated at either the beginning or end that the story is the boy\u2019s dream \u2013 perhaps he dozed off while reading the fairy tale?<\/span><\/div>\n
