It was early afternoon and Cinderella was sitting next to Jan the librarian as she read to small children. She was reading a book about Australia which said Australia was on the other side of the world and the only way to get there other than traveling by sea, land or air, was to tunnel under ground until you came out on the other side of the planet. Cinderella had a lot of time to think and she thought a lot of thoughts. She and Teemeyer shared these thoughts by looking into each other’s eyes at night while he rested in the ditch near the gas station and she purred in the weeds above the ditch.
