Ken Kesey
- One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Harding's face and hands are moving faster than ever now, a speeded film of gestures, grins, grimaces, sneers. The more he tries to stop it, the faster it goes. When he lets his hands and face move like they want to and doesn't try to hold them back, they flow and gesture in a way that's real pretty to watch, but when he worries about them and tries to hold back he becomes a wild, jerky puppet doing a high-strung dance.
Old English Tale
- Jack and the Beanstalk
After climbing higher and higher, till he grew afraid to look down for fear he would become dizzy, Jack at last reached the top of the beanstalk and found himself in a beautiful country with fine meadows dotted with grazing sheep. A crystal stream ran through the pastures, and not far from the place where he had gotten off the beanstalk stood a fine, strong castle.
English Folk Tale
- Chicken Little

Charles Perrault
- Cinderella
Cinderella went immediately to gather the finest one and brought it to her godmother, not being able to imagine how this pumpkin could help her go to the ball. Her godmother scooped out all of the inside, leaving nothing but the rind. Then she struck it with her wand, and the pumpkin was instantly turned into a fine coach.
