What of Roscuro? Did he live happily ever after? Well… the Princess Pea gave him free access to the upstairs of the castle. And he was allowed to go back and forth from the darkness of the dungeon to the light of the upstairs. But, alas, he never really belonged in either place; the sad fate I am afraid, of those whose hearts break and then mend in crooked ways. But the rat in seeking forgiveness, did manage to shed some small light, some happiness, into another life..
“I’m happy to be going,” said Mig, putting a hand up
and gently touching one of her cauliflower ears.
“Might just as well be happy, seeing as it doesn’t make a
difference to anyone but you if you are not,” said the
soldier..
Reader, do you think that it is a terrible thing to hope
when there is really no reason to hope at all? Or is it (as
the soldier said about happiness) something that you
might just as well do, since, in the end, it really makes no
difference to anyone but you?.
