NARRATOR As the Prince anxiously waited, The stepmother took matters and Florinda?s foot into her own hands.
FLORINDA Careful my toe.
THE STEPMOTHER Darling I know.
FLORINDA What?ll we do?
THE STEPMOTHER It?ll have to go, But when you?re his bride You can sit or ride, You?ll never need to walk.
FLORINDA **Scream**
NARRATOR Minus one toe, Florinda mounted the Prince?s horse, Unaware of the blood dripping from the slipper.
Lucinda was next.
LUCINDA Why wont it fit?
THE STEPMOTHER Darling be still, Cut off the bit of the heel and it will, And when you?re his wife, You?ll have such a life, You?ll never need to walk.
LUCINDA **Loud Scream**
NARRATOR Minus a heel, Lucinda did her best to swallow the pain.
