Author's Note:

Donkey Skin, written by Charles Perrault, takes place in a mythical kingdom where a queen's dying wish is that her husband remarry someone more beautiful than she. Unfortunately that woman turns out to be their daughter (the world has always been sick). After consulting her Fairy Godmother, the Princess conceives several schemes to escape her father, finally escaping in the skin of his favorite donkey and hiding in the outer reaches of the kingdom. In her new persona of "Donkey Skin," the princess lives life as a simple scullion, but eventually a handsome prince discovers the princess in hiding... when he is visiting the Royal Farm where she found work. Walking through the house he comes upon the door to her room, the only room that is closed. Bending down he peer through the keyhole and there she is. If anyone would like to read the tale, I can pm you the site.

I couldn't find a picture of a keyhole large enough so I had to make my own. I do hope this doesn't take away from the composition...

Please comment and let me know what I can do to improve.
