“There is a very short Grimm fairy tale called, 'The Golden Key,' in which a poor boy finds a golden key and assumes a lock is nearby. In fairy-tale logic, he is, of course, right: he scrapes at the ground a little and finds an iron casket there, waiting to be opened. The Maria Tatar translation of the story ends this way: 'He tried the key, and it fit perfectly. Now he’s started turning it, and we’ll just have to wait until he finishes unlocking the casket and lifts the lid. Then we’ll know what kinds of wonderful things can be found in it.'”
