The Panama Cannal

I remember learning briefly of this in school. I hadn't bothered to pay attention to any of it at the time. Many years later I was getting super high with my then girlfriend who was in College.

Yeah I knew the Cinderella one. In fact a lot of the "Disney" stories are very very mild when compared to the actual stories. Fairy tales were actually for adults at one time. Disney made it into a kids thing.
