...Sleeping Beauty received the gift of brand new digital camera from the dwarves. Overjoyed, she spent many happy days taking pictures of the woodland animals and her friends. Eventually, she decided she wanted to have some of her best work professionally printed.
So, she made the long trek to the Big City where they had a photo lab for just such things. She left her files with the Nice Man there who told her to return in a week.
After a week of anticipation, Sleeping Beauty went back, anxious to how her work turned out. "I have bad news," said the Nice Man, it's going to take another week."
Disappointed, she went home and waited another week. When she went the next weekend, she was truly sad to learn that her pictures still hadn't arrived. The Nice Man said, "I don't know what the delay is, but I'm certain they'll be here next weekend."
Feeling very sad indeed, Sleeping Beauty waited another week. However, when she returned the following weekend, only to see the Nice Man looking at her with remorse in his eyes, her frustration and sadness was so overwhealming that she fell to the floor and burst into tears.
The nice man rushed over to comfort her. "There there, Sleeping Beauty... stop crying," he soothed. "I know someday, your prints will come."
