Once Upon A Time...


...There was a Demon...

He created a looking-glass which had the power to make everything good or beautiful that was reflected in it almost shrink to nothing, while everything that was worthless and bad looked increased in size and worse than ever...

...The most lovely landscapes appeared like boiled spinach, and the people- Their countenances were so distorted that no one could recognize them, and even one freckle on the face appeared to spread over the whole of the nose and mouth...

The demon said this was very amusing. When a good or pious thought passed through the mind of any one it was misrepresented in the glass; and then how the demon laughed at his cunning invention...

He wanted even to fly the mirror up to Heaven to see the angelâ%u20AC%u2122s reflections...

...But on his way up it slipped from his hands, fell to the earth, and was broken into millions or pieces

But this was not the happily ever after ending...

...Now the looking-glass caused more unhappiness than ever, for some of the fragments were not so large as a grain of sand, and they flew about the world into every country

When one of these tiny atoms flew into a personâ%u20AC%u2122s eye, it stuck there unknown to him, and from that moment he saw everything through a distorted medium, or could see only the worst side of what he looked at, for even the smallest fragment retained the same power which had belonged to the whole mirror...

Some few persons even got a fragment of the looking-glass in their hearts, and this was very terrible, for their hearts became cold like a lump of ice. A few of the pieces were so large that they could be used as window-panes; it would have been a sad thing to look at our friends through them...

And now you shall see the story of the girl with a piece of the glass in her eye...

Pain to her was not the fear of being unloved...

The pain was to love...
