Here we go with another bedtime story of three sisters:
Mary, Ally and Sarah. Mary said while preparing herself for the bedtime story,
“Okay sisters get your things together. I am about to start our bedtime story
and yes, this time it will be fast and quick.”
Ally continued, “So, that means the story will not be fun
and exciting as before.”
Mary said, “NO, it means you both have to listen to the
story without interrupting me, so it will be fast.
As always we will have Mickey and Minnie as our main
characters and our story will proceed from there.”
Once upon a time there was a king named Mickey. Who was blind
from the day he was born. Mickey’s parents were very worried for his life. They
thought he would never be able to get married and have a nice life partner. Mickey,
on the other hand, never let himself down. He believed that one day he will get
a life partner, who will be familiar with his pure heart inside.
On one random day, Mickey’s father invited his old friends
along with their families just for a reunion of friends. Along with those
families came a girl, who was not very pretty, but an average girl. However,
she seemed really attractive to Mickey’s mother and then she decided to make
her Mickey’s wife. Mickey and Minnie’s parents gathered and planned their
wedding without informing either of them.
As the wedding days were coming closer, Mickey’s mother
decided to tell Mickey.
She said, “Mickey, it is time for you to get married.”
Mickey said, “Mother, no girl would like to marry someone
who is blind. A husband who would never be able to praise his wife’s beauty.”
The mother said, “Oh no my child, you are not blind from
heart.”
Mickey agreed.
The day of the wedding, when Minnie was getting ready, her
sister came in and said, “Minnie, there is no point of showing your beauty.”
Minnie very surprisingly asked, “What do you mean? Is everything
okay? Is Mickey alright?”
Sister replied, “Yes, everything is okay, but there is one hidden
truth about your husband.”
Minnie said, “What? Tell me right now. I want to know it. Is
about my entire life.”
Sister said, “Yes, I know. That is why I came to tell you
now. Mickey cannot see anything. He is blind.”
Minnie calmly said, “Sister, I order you to cover my eyes
with a cloth. I want to be like my husband.”
And there ends the story of Mickey and Minnie. They accept
each other as they were and lived happily.

Author's Note: For this retelling story, I made the story completely different, but the main point was same. In the original Mahabharata, Dhritarashtra was blind, which was played by Mickey in my retell story and Gandhari's character was played by Gandhari.

Aysha,
ReplyDeleteI am a Disney fanatic so I was soooo excited to see you decided to use Mickey and Minnie! I think you did a fantastic job with your story this week! I am not familiar with the original story, so from your author's note I was not sure what else you changed. I was also slightly confused what Minnie meant when she said, "Is about my entire life." I don't know if I was just having trouble reading it but that sentence didn't make the best sense for me. Overall, you did a great job with this story!
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI just commented on one of your portfolio posts! I seriously love this Micky and Minnie theme you've got going on. I am happy they accepted each other despite what some would call flaws. My only suggestion is maybe spacing a bit differently? I got a bit confused on the sentences, but realized its cause I reread them. Great job though! Thank you for sharing.
Aysha,
ReplyDeleteThat was a great story. I thought the image you used of Mickey and Minnie without eyes was definitely appropriate. I am not familiar with the original story but, I was able to use the link you provided to view it. Both characters were noble and had good values. It ended on a good note and that was great since it was a bedtime story for young listeners!
Aysha, I love how you kept the bedtime story theme consistent throughout your stories! Although I didn't read the original reading material, I still got the idea of what it was about. I loved how Minnie didn't care that Mickey was blind. It was nice to read about people accepting others even with their flaws. Like a few of the previous commenters, I think that you could space out the sentences a little bit. This will make it easier to read. Great job overall!
