I liked it a lot. I mean, you wrote it so well!
I actually don't think I'd ever heard the song... The story it tells seems familiar, though...
But anyway, the story you wrote was superb. :)
Very well executed. I thought it'd be a little weird when I noticed the constant changing from him to her, but it worked smoothly.

About the fable thing...
I don't really think this is one, but that might just be me. (I have this thing – I blame Aesop's Fables for it – that a fable must involve talking animal characters and give some kind of moral lesson.)
But again, I don't know... It's probably just me.

Love ya too, dear! I've just come home from a long week-end in Italy and the first thing I did was to check if you'd posted this story. I'm sure you'll get other reviews, it's so good and my betaing really amounted to very little. Hope you'll write some more soon! (I'm still in favour of a Roberts-centered sequel.)

too lazy to log in.
I LOVE THIS SONG! It is one of my favorites ever...great treatment of it, the story fits so well!
Love ya!
