Soft Steel by Emily Chadwick

“Once upon a time, there was an evil queen. She had raven-black hair and eyes like soft steel.”

“But, Dad, steel is a metal.”

“Metal can be soft. Like gold.”

“I don’t get it.”

“Okay, fine. The evil queen had raven-black hair and eyes like hard steel.”

“That’s better.”

“Are you going to be quiet and let me tell you the story or not?”

“Okay, I’ll be quiet.”
