When we hear stories like that of the hairy-wristed hitchhiker who had an axe in a suitcase, or the girl who died from the bites of insects which inhabited her beehive hairdo, we are inclined to believe them. Yet, in most instances, they are nothing but folktales - a sort of modern
Cinderella or Beauty and the Beast.
