I have had a request for a story that my principal read in t= he fifth grade, almost 30 years ago. It is about a girl who always wore a = ribbon around her neck. A boy constantly asked her why she wore the ribbon= , but she would not tell him. Finally after many years they are married an= d she asks him if he still wants to know why she wears the ribbon around he= r neck. He says yes, so she takes off the ribbon and her head falls off. = Does anyone know the name of the story or what book I can find it in? Thank you!
