Walking Fairy Tale (WordPlay Hol HW)

Could you ever imagine a person whose life is a fairy tale? It may sound wierd, or unbelievable, but there are people out there with this kind of life, and one good example is Samantha. Samantha is a girl who just loves to go out and play. However, her mother passed away when she was young

Because of that, her father, who was very rich, decided to re-marry to let Samantha lead a better life with a family consisting of not just a father but at least a step-mother too. When her step-mother came into the family, she brought along two daughters along with her. They are Jean and Jane, Samantha's step-sisters.

When they moved in, Samantha's father had to go overseas for a business deal. He had to be away for a long period of about two to three years. After he had left for the airport, Samntha's step-mother treated Samantha as a maid. She made Samantha do all the household chores, from washing the dishes, to washing the toilet and scrubbing the floor. Samantha also was made to sleep in the attic of the house while her step-sisiters slept in her room.

One day, when she was doing her household chores, her step-mother went out to retrieve the mail from the mailbox. That was when her step-mother noticed a letter for Samantha. Samantha's step-mother opened her letter to read it before giving it to Samantha. There was going to be a Prom Night for all ex-students of her previous school to gather for dinner and dance.

When Samantha got the letter from her step-mother, she was told that she could not attend the prom night as she would be very busy on that night and on top of that, she would not have any new clothes to wear to the Prom Night.

Upon hearing that, Samantha's feelings changed. She became more depressed and prayed everyday that her father might just come home as soon as possible and take her to the Prom Night. But she knew that it takes a true miracle for that to happen as her dad will be away for a few more years.

On the night that she was supposed to be out, Samntha's stepmother and her step-sisters went out shopping and they told her to complete all the chores before 1 a.m. when they come back and they expect her to be sleeping already by that time.

As they left the house, Samantha stayed back and kept on weeping. Soon, her neighbour walked by and asked her what happened. She turned to explain every single detail of what happened and then continued weeping. Suprisingly, her neighbour told her that she was going to help her.

Samantha asked how her neighbour, Chris was going to help her. Chris told her that she did not mind helping Samantha do her chores while Samantha went out to the Prom Night in Chris's gown and glass shoes which did not seem to fit her any longer. She told Samantha that she might look very gorgeous in that gown and shoes.

Samantha did as was told by her neighbour. However, on one condition, she has to be back by midnight to go to sleep otherwise she might be discovered. Samantha took a ride in Chris's father's car to the ballroom where the event was held at. She enjoyed herself tremendously.

At the Prom Night, there is bound to be a Prom King and a Prom Queen, and whether they will start a relationship in future is up to them. At around five minutes to midnight, the Prom King was announced. The Prom King was given the privellage to choose his Prom Queen. He scanned the room and saw Samantha, dressed in her very best.

When he was about to call her up to the stage, she ran off as she remembered that she had to be home before midnight. She got on the car and it sped away. Little did she know that she had actually dropped one of her glass shoes while rushing up the car. The Prom King, Jason, whom Samantha had a crush on during her school days, picked up the glass shoe and went back in to the Prom Night.

He asked for Samantha's address from the organizers. However, they could not tell the exact address of Samantha's place but they can only tell Jason the street name.

Samantha got home on time and she noticed she lost one glass shoe. She did not know how to break it to Chris so she hid all the clothes in a secret compartment in the attic and went to sleep.

The next day, she woke up and saw that the house was very clean, thanks to Chris. Her step-mother told her to take a break at the end of the week for a day for she thought Samantha did a very good job.

On the other hand, Jason was knocking door to door of every house on the street that Samantha was living in as he looked for a person named Samantha whom he saw that night, and her foot must be able to fit into the glass shoe.

It so happened that when he knocked on Samantha's house, it was her day off from household chores. She was asked to open the door by her step-mother. Dressed in ragged clothes, she went to open the door and to her amazement, she saw Jason, drenched in prespiration as he asked for Samantha.

She told him that her name was Samantha. He tried to slip on the glass shoe and it fit. Then, he asked her if she would marry him....

This is the life of Samantha, the walking fairy tale, simillar to the story of Cinderella.
