Week 4 Storytelling: Mickey got Minnie back

Here continues the third bedtime story of Mary, Ally and Sarah. This time Ally demands for a happy ending story because she did not like the previous story of Minnie being kidnapped by Pete at the end.

Mary agreed and continued the story from where she ended the story last time.

Mickey being madly in love with Minnie never stopped searching for his beautiful wife. He promised himself and his daughter, Micmin, and said "I would find Minnie and would never let her go with such an evil person, Pete, who pretended to be a good friend during our entire friendship."

Mickey had been searching for Minnie for almost a week, but found no luck. On a random day, Mickey thought about calling Pete’s brother named Lola. Mickey called and asked him about Pete, but not mentioning anything about Minnie’s kidnapping. The purpose behind this was to check if Lola knew anything or not. By that five minutes of conversation, Mickey figured that Lola knew and had information about Minnie because as Mickey mentioned Pete’s name there was a clear change in Lola. Mickey noticed the change in Lola’s voice. Plus, Lola seemed in a hurry as if he did not want to carry on the conversation. After talking, Mickey had huge doubts about Lola. He thought that sitting and thinking over the doubts would not do any good, so he decided to go and check on Lola. 

Finally, Mickey arrived at Lola’s house. That scene was intense. Lola opened the door as Mickey rang the doorbell and he was fully surprised to see Mickey. Mickey calmly said hello and they nicely shook hands. Lola held the door trying to block Mickey from entering in the house, but Mickey entered as they were talking and sat on the couch. There Mickey heard some kind of noises as if someone else was in the house talking and whispering which he thought was Minnie. However, Lola was trying to distract Mickey, so he would not overhear Minnie’s voice. 

There, Mickey asked Lola, “Whose voice was that?”

 As Lola’s face was getting red from nervousness, he said, “Oh, it is just a television.”

But Mickey was confident enough to know that it was no one else but Minnie.

Minnie was in the room right next to the living room, where Mickey was sitting. Minnie knew that Mickey was there because she could hear Mickey talking with Lola.

Lola, on the other hand, was trying to convince Mickey to go out for lunch, so he would leave as soon as possible. But Mickey wanted to take his wife with him.

Then clever Mickey started praising Lola’s house. He said, “It is a nice house. How many bedrooms?" While saying that Mickey got up and managed to take a tour of entire house as Lola was in the kitchen preparing tea for both of them.

Finally, Mickey saw Minnie sitting on the chair tied up with a rope and mouth taped. Mickey ran towards Minnie and said, “Ohhh Minnie, my love.” Mickey quickly untied her and hugged her tightly. Pete escaped when Minnie and Mickey were busy hugging. Then they lived happily ever after with their cute daughter,  Micmin. 

Ally said, “Good story, Mary. I really enjoyed it.”

Author's Note: I am retelling this story based on the Ramayana. It was the original love story of Rama and Sita. The main concept is same, but the story itself is very different. First, I changed the characters to Mickey and Minnie. In addition to that, Ravana is also one of the characters in the story, played as Pete, an evil character. However, Rama had three brothers, who helped and fought for him in getting Sita back from Ravana. Second, the plot was different as well. In the original story, Rama refused to accept Sita because he thought that she is not pure after spending time with Ravana. In addition to that, Hanuman went searching for Sita because he was a good friend and wanted to see Rama and Sita together. Now Ravana was depicted as a powerful guy, who was not afraid of facing Rama. Ravana faced Rama with his whole army, but strong Rama killed him at the end. Unlikely, Pete was a weak guy and never faced Mickey afterwards. Most importantly, I made the ending happy. It was something I disliked the most about my previous story. This time I managed to bring Mickey and Minnie together once again. In the Ramayana, Rama and Sita did not stay together forever because Rama was not sensible enough to believe his wife's purity.
