fractured tale 8

Once upon a time, there was a queen fascinated by fashion who had a beautiful baby, with a pinkish lovely face.

For the christening, fairies had to visit her in her cradle in order to be a sign of her future.
One of them, the meanest, told the baby the following strange sentence,
"When you are sixteen you will be the First Lady of Uzbekistan."
"Great," said the Queen"this way I can wear ermine furs and I can have a new wardrobe."

A few years later, the little princess who had become spotty with the years but lovely still thanks to her pinkish skin, met the president of Uzbekistan, Nikolai Papoupoula Andreiovitch Sartakis Petrovich, who had a strange obsession for cauliflower. When he visited her realm they fell in love with each other and got married the day after, in a hamlet of his country where the bride wore a cauliflower dress and the banquet was made only with cauliflowers dishes.
The stepmother tasted all these cauliflowers and came back to her kingdom with sixty hundred cauliflower furs offered by her son-in-law who killed all the tourists who didn't bring back cauliflowers souvenirs from Uzbekistan.

The years went by nobody heard of the stepmother any longer who might have forgotten her daughter since she got furs. The First lady of Uzbekistan, still in love with her husband, had to eat, drink, and have showers made only with cauliflower until the day she got a kidneys crisis which left her in a deep sleep. It lasted ten, twenty, thirty years when another fairy thought about a great writer who knew the same thing: Paris Hilton.
She had to find a spindle to save her and so she did. The first lady woke up, killed right there and then her husband throwing a cauliflower on his head and she left Uzbekistan to kill her mother who had forgotten her. She lived happily ever after alone in her realm.
