In Children and Books (Zena Sutherland, 9th edition), there's a mention of the legend of Espen Cinderland and his magic whistle, the latter which apparently is to bunnies as the Pied Piper's flute is to mice. There's a cadence to this sentence which totally cracks me up:

Then the king and queen thought it best to give him the princess and half the kingdom; it just couldn't be helped.

(mrissa, when I read this, I immediately thought of "So it's you".)

These things happen. Had to give him the princess and half the kingdom? Ayep.
