It's never a perfect fit

Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, lived a lonesome prince. In search of his one true love he held a ball. There were ladies of the court dressed in the finest, and well fitted garb; however, there was one girl who didn't quite fit in. The prince fell madly in love with the girl and danced with her all evening long. Alas the time came when the girl had to disappear, yet in doing so she left behind a shoe. The next morning he set out to find his one true love. The prince scoured the Kingdom for three days before returning to the castle. When he did he found a maid of the house frantically searching for something on the ballroom floor. "What are you looking for?", he called out to her being a polite gentleman. "I lost a shoe. It's an heirloom of my mother and I can't find it anywhere!" This sparked the prince's interest, so he chose to pull out the shoe he had been carrying and approached her. "Do you mind trying it on?", asked the prince. So she did with a sad look in her eyes. For you see it was her shoe, but it wasn't the right size for her foot. The prince realized and smiled at the maid saying,"It's never a perfect fit". Then she got her shoe back and the prince was no longer lonesome.
