A beautiful family's memories gone forever

Once upon a time there was a beautiful family with many memories all recorded on a card that is sure to be downloaded and stored in the mind of a magnificent computer. One day the owner decided to add a program that would save all the memories for life. Each time she tried, the pictures would not appear. After giving up many times, she decided to retire the photos to her mind until the day when a great deal of free time would be available. This day never came and the beautiful family memories continued to grow on the card until it was soooo full that not another picture could be added. The owner had a very beautiful and bright daughter who knew a lot about taking memories or deleting them. She saw the card and decided that she too had some wonderfully delightful memories to add. Seeing the card was full and knowing full well that not all memories are to be remembered, she erased a few, carefully layed down on an old wooden bridge close to her home and lowered the camera with her delicate long arms to take a memory of a rare bird and its hatchlings. Her human arm spooked the poor creature and it took flight leaving its little ones in the water. The incredible stretch of its wings and loud squawking startled the poor daughter to the extent that the memories all fell into the moving waters. Two weeks later, a tall dark and handsome prince decided to rescue all the memories and asked the beautiful daughter where the camera was. She told him and they walked together to the old wooden bridge. The prince took off his shirt showing all his muscles and strength and dove into the water. What he didn't realize was the water was stronger than the rushing river and colder than the snow melting upon the face of the mountain. Being clever as a prince is, he asked some onlookers if they would hold a rope so he could stand against the current. Over and over he tried to recover the memories. Along came another prince much taller than he and made it his quest to help the other prince for he knew that memories cannot last in the mind forever. He stepped into the cold water and with his long arms felt the bottom and recovered the card. Everyone in the land happily cheered. The card was dried in the hot sun and cleaned with the greatest of care, but to no avail the beautiful family's memories were never to be seen again.
