Here
begins another bedtime story of three sisters. As always they will be focusing
on Mickey and Minnie as their favorite main characters.
Mary
said, “Get yourselves ready girls. I am about to start our new bedtime story.”
Once
upon a time there was a prince, Mickey. He had two brothers named Micko and Mickin.
The brothers had real bond of love between them. However, everyone loved Mickin
because he was the youngest one. The brother’s mother always loved Mickin more
for the same reason. Suddenly, the father was not feeling well.
Now
it was about time to give the kingdom to one of the three brothers. The
brother’s father wanted Mickey to rule because he was the oldest one, but the
mother said, “No.”
She
said, “I always wanted to see Mickin ruling this kingdom after you.”
Then
father said angrily, “NO, it is our oldest son responsibility. I have no
problem in making Micki the king, but he is the youngest from all. He would not
be able to make smart moves like Mickey.”
Then
the mother called Mickey and told him to leave the kingdom and live in a
forest. In addition to that, she told him to take Micko as well. So, Mickin
would be the only one left in the kingdom to rule. So, as they were leaving,
Mickin saw them and forced them that he would not let them go unless they take
him with themselves.
When
they reached the forest, there they saw a pond to refresh themselves. By the pond, they met a guys, who was known as
water-spirit.
Ally
said, “That is interesting. What does he do, Mary?
Water-spirit
has the right to make anyone marry who drinks out of that pond because he is
the king of that forest.
As
the brother drank from pond, the water-spirit took them into his cave and
showed them three different girls and ordered each of the brother to marry each
girl.
Mickey
did not like that and angrily he said, “No, none of us would marry your given
girls. We are new in this forest. We do not know any rules.”
Water-spirit
said, “What is wrong with these girls? Look, they are beautiful and what else
do you young boys need. Either you guys marry these girls or you all would die
within 10 minutes you refuse to marry these angles.”
Mary
said, “Then they all agrees to marry the girls and Mickey marries the girl
named Minnie.”
Ally
continued, “It was nice story, but it did not focus on Minnie’s character at
all. That was sad.”

I was a little confused by the ending, the part with Ally. I’m not sure if that was supposed to be there. Or maybe it is because I saw her earlier in the story. I was just thrown off a little because I can’t see the connection. Oh, also towards the end there is a few spelling mistakes, but those are easy fixes. I’m pretty positive I have a dozens of those in my own. One thing I always liked about your story, is the continuation of certain characters. I follow Mickey and Minnie throughout their various adventures. I come to expect that when I read when your stories and it’s comforting!
ReplyDeleteAysha, this was a really great story! I love reading bedtime stories, as I have chosen my entire Storybook to be in the bedtime story format. I love how you incorporated the reading material into the story, yet still made it your own. My favorite part was when you talked about how the mother favors the youngest child the most. This definitely happens in my family, haha. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis was another great story! Throughout the semester, I have visited your blog several times because I like the consistency of using the same theme. Good job on incorporating the Jatakas tales into your writing. Your story was simple and to the point. The author's note was descriptive and gave insight on what happened in the original reading. I thought it was funny at the end the girls sounded a little disappointed because you didn't focus more on Minnie.
