Three differences between the variations "Past" and "Present" include: the point of view from which the variation is told ("Past" is told in first-person past tense, while "Present" is told in third-person present tense.); "Past" is told from the perspective of someone who does not know details of the events, while "Present" includes many details; and "Past" is told using straightforward language, while "Present" uses very poetic language to tell the story.
