    What does one do when the object of his desire does not love him back? That depends on whether you are a Wizard King, and you can lock your love away in a tower if you so choose. Ah, but what if your love is a much better match for your handsome son, and not you, old Wizard King? Expect to have your wits matched, especially if your son's fairy Godmother is on his side and not yours. Enjoy another tale from the Yellow Fairy Book!
