It's the same old song...

Once upon a time, there was a girl.
Around that same time, there was a boy.
Once upon a time too far back to name, there was a man.
Once upon a time, the girl met this man, and came to love Him.
The boy, too, met this man.
As time passed, the girl and the boy became nonexistent, but grew to manhood and womanhood.

We now wait for the day when the woman will meet the man...
