Recently in some banana republic in Central America... (so, you have figured out already that this is a bit of a modern fairy tale) ...lived one interesting beggar.
He actually wasn't interesting at all, he was just pretending to be and with that pretense he collected money from people. Afterwards he would go home to his five stories high villa and he would bore himself horribly because he was very, very boring.
And so he decided one day to make a wish not to be boring anymore and so he did.
After his death, some ten-ish years later, they have found his remains and came to a conclusion that he was very, very interesting person. From his villa they've made a museum and declared him the most interesting person of the year. That attracted lots of visitors from around the world and the country's economy boosted quickly.
That increased Lucinda's paycheck who finally gathered enough money so she can afford her lifelong dream to travel to Paris by plane. She was so scared of water and ships, you know.
Unfortunately, her airplane crashed and she was the lone survivor finding herself on a tiny island in the middle of the sea. The only thing she could do was to fish, and so she did and each day she would catch a different kind of fish. That is how she came to an idea to make a collection of diverse kind of fish to cut through the boredom. Yet again unfortunately on one occasion she ate a poisonous fish and died a hard and horrible death.
But, little could Lucinda know that she survived and died on a floating island. That island one day floated straight to the shores of, up until recently, completely irrelevant kingdom where Ricky, the modest fisherman, through a pure case of coincidence discovered it and towed it near his beach house. Finding an amazing collection of fish on the island, he opened up a small museum of wondrous fishes and so he attracted an attention of all the other parts of the said kingdom.
Thus he met Sarah, his wife to be and with her he brought up a dozen of children and they all lived happily ever after.
The end.
