Sitting with the "Kong"

We both knew from the beginning that our relationship couldn't last, our backgrounds were too different. He came from the jungle where they called him Kong. I came from European royalty where I was known as Princess Penny.

We met in New York City while he was there performing as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".

Now, it was time for him to go.

As we gazed one last time into each other's eyes, my thoughts were of better times. Soon we would have to part.

My mother, though, was overjoyed. She'd been hoping for someone just a little taller and in medical school.
