You read it right, this fairy tale is really about a little girl named Crace. She is unhappy about her strange name, which everyone always gets mixed up.

When her mother signed her up for knitting, she flung herself on the ground and screamed: "Not knitting, I'm going to learn to CRochet!"
She even threw the coloured pencils she got for Christmas away, stomping her feet angrily that she’d wanted CRayons!
When her mother and father came up with the idea of a vacation in Spain, they pleaded with her, "Crace, be reasonable. At least we can go look at a royal CRown."
