Author's note: 'This contemporary fairy tale explores possibilities of intercultural problem-solving, by crossing temporal and geographical boundaries. The work presents a nuanced response to the tension between nationalism and multiculturalism across global politics. Whilst this fairy tale’s focus is not didactic, it nevertheless implies that we might find solutions to life’s conundrums by cultivating curiosity, particularly when confronting contradiction, grief or hardship. As we learn from A.S. Byatt’s story ‘Crocodile tears’, one can ‘look with curiosity, and live’ (1999: 40).'
