Bride. A woman with a fine prospect of happiness behind her.

Summary

This quote, attributed to Ambrose Bierce, humorously suggests that marriage may not always bring the happiness it promises. The term "bride" typically denotes a woman on her wedding day, filled with anticipation and hope for a joyous future. However, Bierce's remark hints that this optimism might fade over time, implying that marriage has the potential to foster disappointments and challenges. It serves as a humorous commentary on the unpredictable nature of relationships and a reminder that happiness cannot be guaranteed solely by one's marital status.

In the revised story, the Hopping Pot protects an innocent wizard from his torch-bearing, pitchfork-toting neighbours by chasing them away from the wizard's cottage, catching them and swallowing them whole.
