How Prudence Proovit...
Dear grumps, hotshots, and children too old or smart to believe in fairy tales,
I used to be just like you. That is, until the day some friends of mine got together. Goldie, Snow, and the others, well, they've shown me there's more to fairy tales than red hoods and glass slippers. Trust me, this isn't a spell; you'll learn the truth to if you keep reading.
Sincerely,
Prudence Proovit
Ambassador to Fairy Tale Forest
