Well, I’m stumped. What we left with? From a poem? ---

Hints: I feel I gave accurate truthful answers to all the DQs as asked. That said, it is possible that if #14 had been phrased differently or broadened in scope, I may have answered differently. Also, had #8 and #16 not included the word “originally”, I would have had to answer differently. ---

So, maybe a poem or chant or riddle or jingle or folktale that became an opera or a ballet or a musical? ---

A folktale created in or after 1954? Seems unlikely. ---
