Once upon a time there was a princess. Like many princesses of her time, she was headstrong enough to leave her castle and kingdom in order to see exotic new lands. With the help of her fairy godmothers and the ability to spin flax into gold, she set off. Eventually, she hit the edge of the world (it was still flat at this time) and rather than fall off, decided to acquire gainful employment in her strange new land.
Since it was strange and new, she decided to take a break from her flax and teach for a living. This seemed to be a good plan and worked out well for awhile. However, an evil fairy was jealous of our heroine's glass slippers and so cast a spell making the school's graduation ceremony more boring than even royalty could take.
Rather than endure one more minute, the princess began to run off to the Big Rock Candy Mountain. But just as she was sneaking off through the back, the students, alerted by an undercover Frog Prince, threw flowers at her head until the spell was broken. She survived the tedium long enough to hug her students goodbye and party into the night with her fellow teachers.
