There is a German fairy tale about two princesses: The one is beautiful with long blonde hair and blue eyes. Her curves flowed as a perfect sculptre and women's eyes turned green with envy.

However, her sister was not so extraordinary. She wasn't fat, just pudgy. She had mousy brown hair and brown eyes. By no means was she ugly just Plain Jane.

As the story went along, a prince arrived in the kingdom looking for a bride a WISE prince. At first glance the decision was hands down' the foxy blonde. But as he began talking to them and Yuck! You'd have to see the illustrations in the book in technicolor!

They were all sitting, talking. You turn the page of the storybook and BAM!:

On the left page is the beautiful princess with hundreds of frogs and toads coming out of her mouth as if she were vomiting. On the right page was Plain Jane and, as she spoke, rubies, emeralds and diamonds flowed from her lips into shining piles.
