Alice in Realityland

Little Alice gaped wide eyed. She had never seen so many toys under a single roof her entire life. While walking through the aisles, clutching her mother's hands,  amongst the racks filled with innumerable toys she was absolutely astounded . A miniature glass dancing doll caught her attention. Seeing her standing there arrested for awhile mom said "so baby, you seem to like this one", to which li'l Alice nodded with eagerness. " But darling" continued mother, " you must understand that this is too delicate for you to handle and if at any point you are careless you will break it, which will leave you heartbroken...". She handed another beautiful and sturdy doll to her and said "Take this love. Although it's a li'l  expensive it's gonna last you a lifetime". Teary eyed, li'l Alice succumbed to her mom's wish. After all what mother says must be right she thought.

Although she was proud to own this new doll, li'l Alice truly smiled only in her dreams when she could see herself dancing among the stars with her li'l glass doll.
