3. About this version

This story is a revised and re-edited version of my work written for the 365 day challenge, where we had to rewrite a famous fairy tale. I had always planned to rewrite that hurriedly written version and this prompt gave me a chance to do so. Since this is not written specifically for the challenge, I would not be submitting it.
