The story of the cursed ballerina
Once upon a time there was a brilliant beautiful ballerina who said 'all I ever want to do in life is dance'. Whereupon a jealous, cruel and pedantic goddess with a mean sense of irony said 'okay, from now on that is all you will ever do'. This came to pass. The tragic twist was that as the ballerina ceased to have any life beyond dancing, there was nothing for her to express in her dance except 'I am trapped in an eternal dance', and the only way that she could express that was by dancing. All her audience could see was the brilliance and beauty of the dance: it completely failed to communicate the only thing she wanted to say.
