What if that prince, whatever his name was...

...had accidentally dropped the shoe and... A raccoon had put his/her paw into it? Is there a reversed "the glove won't fit" excuse in fairy tales?

P.S. There is enough evidence to put that silly crackpot of a lawyer behind the bars, but... They don't give any crap, because leaving an attorney of the
law, alone, with key evidence, for fifteen whole minutes... Yeah. A real win for the Justice once again. I wonder... Does he weigh more than a duck?
