Violet was nine
and Kathy was sixteen. They ran away from their home silently one day. And they
left successfully. ‘Sis, what should we go now?’ asked Violet. ‘I have no
idea,’ Kathy replied sullenly, ‘maybe go to the town and find some jobs first.’
Then they went to the town.
They passed a forest,
passed a lake, passed a grassland and passed a hill, but they still hadn’t
arrived a town. ‘Please … please give me some food … I’m starving …’ abruptly
the siblings heard a voice. Violet went on and saw a woman sitting near a tree.
‘She seems to be very hungry,’ Violet said to Kathy with a low voice. ‘It’s
none of our business, Violet!’ Kathy roared, ‘let’s continue our journey.’
Violet ignored her order. She took out one piece of bread and gave the woman
with a smiling face. The woman stared at Violet. Thank you! My dear caring
little girl! You have saved my life!’ The woman felt grateful.
‘You stupid girl
……’ Kathy shouted, ‘We only have two pieces of bread!’ Violet shook her head.
‘I won’t eat the only bread which belongs to you, sister,’ Violet said.
They walked and
walked. The sunset ended. ‘It is very dark!’ Kathy stunned. ‘Where can we go
now?’ Violet asked. Suddenly it started to rain.
‘Sister, there is not any place for us to hide in this forest!’ Violet said anxiously.
Suddenly, they saw a light. A beautiful woman was sparkling.
‘I’m Sally the
fairy. Actually the woman you saw this morning is my pretence. I’m going to
reward you three wishes. Say your wish now!’ the fairy said. The siblings were
astonished. ‘What? Is it true? A fairy?’ Kathy doubted, but she tried it. ‘I
want a wealthy and healthy life forever! Can you?’ Kathy asked carefully. ‘No
problem! It’s easy!’ Sally the fairy then made a magic.
‘Boos!!!!’
‘Where are we?’
Violet was thinking.
They were in a
big, big house with valuable furniture and a lot of servants!!! ‘Wow! It’s
true! I’m not dreaming!’ Kathy shouted excitedly. ‘Violet! Take off these
disgusting shoes! I’m going to dress a beautiful dress!’ Kathy threw out the
shoes and went in the bedroom.
‘So … how about
the second wish?’ The fairy asked Violet. Meanwhile, Kathy ran out at once and
said, ‘I want to meet the most handsome prince in this country, and dance with
him! It is impossible, isn’t it?’ Kathy laughed. ‘No problem!’ Sally the fairy
made a magic again.
Kathy’s dream
came true.
‘And, how about
the final wish?’ the fairy asked.
‘I want ……’ Kathy
said excitedly. ‘Sister!’ Violet claimed, ‘I have not made any wish yet!’ ‘Who
cares?’
Kathy yawned,
‘You are my sister! I’m older than you. You have no wish! They are mine!’ Kathy
pointed at her nose and said.
‘I want to become
the princess!’ Kathy said.
‘No way! I won’t
make it come true! And I’m going to take away the wishes you made. You are
greedy and selfish!’ the fairy shouted.
Abruptly, all the
wealthy things, the big house disappeared.
‘Violet, now I
give you three wishes, only for you!’ The fairy said.
‘Dear Sally, I
just want ONE wish,’ Violet replied, ‘I want my mother back. I want to live
with her peacefully. No nervousness and worries forever.’
‘But … your
mother was dead ……’ the fairy said.
‘I had no time to
love her before. I want to love her forever and it is my responsibility to love
her ……’ Violet cried.
Violet touched
Sally. ‘OK! No problem!’ The fairy smiled. Sally the fairy went to find God
immediately and told God this story.
‘OK. Let it come
true!’ God allowed Violet’s mother to live again. He was touched too.
Finally, Violet saw her mother again. They lived in a normal house peacefully and warmly.
