''[[The Light Princess]]'' is an 1864 fairy tale, was written by [[George MacDonald]] (1824-1905), a writer who inspired the likes of [[J. R. R. Tolkien|JRR Tolkien]], [[C. S. Lewis|CS Lewis]], and [[Madeleine L'Engle]]. It's a fairy tale about a princess who is cursed to lose her gravity, and some parts of it are decidedly tongue-in-cheek. More than one audio version exists, so do give them a try.
 
So this King and Queen desperately want a child -- you know how that goes -- and eventually they get one. The little girl is due to have a christening party when the King conveniently forgets to invite his sister, an evil woman with magical powers. The woman arrives just the same, and curses the Princess with a lack of gravity.
Line 23:
 
Eventually, it proved to be enough, and he woke up; and at this point the Princess fell to the floor weeping. Her love, finally awakened, had broken the curse; the lake was brim-full, and had also crushed the King's sister; and as soon as the Princess had learned to walk like a normal person, she married the Prince and they lived [[Happily Ever After]], having many children, "none of whom ever lost their gravity."
