In your mind, imagine how the world used to be. Believe it or not, less than 100 years ago, the streets were filled with horses, not cars.

“Once there was a miller who was poor, but who had a beautiful daughter. Now it happened that he had to go and speak to the king, and in order to make himself appear important he said to him, ‘I have a daughter who can spin straw into gold.’”

The second is from a less familiar but still widely read story called Rumpelstilzchen (try to spell that word without looking at this page!)
