Some Fairy Tale (Revised)

Once
upon a time, there was this girl. Her name was too weird to say, so I am going
to call her “R”. She has her own book, so she probably had done something
important with her life, or at least that was what I thought. She lived only
with her mother. I do not know where her father had gone, but I wonder if it is
because she was a weirdo. Her mom and she lived in a reclusive house, and R’s room
was on the third floor. Fancy.

She
was alone and did not have any friends. Every day, she would wake up alone,
because her mother worked really early; she cooked for herself the three meals
she would eat (for breakfast she would make chocolate chips pancakes, for lunch
she would have some organic food, because she was skinny as hell, for dinner,
she would eat something that I do not know and do not care). Later on, she
would clean the house, read her favorite book for the fifth time consecutively
(Cinderella), paint, take a nap,
study a little bit (I do not know why, because she did not go to the regular
school, so she could not fail) and go to bed. Her mother left for work every
morning before R was awake and returned at the sunset, just to give her
daughter a goodnight kiss.

&nbsp;She did not have a life, let us be honest. Her
mother would give homework for the week, and teach her on weekends. She was, as
you are wondering, homeschooled. And by homeschooled, she never had been to a
prom, or a sleepover. Imagine that? Her life sucked, until something happen… I
forgot to tell that she had a really long hair, blond, straight, and shiny as
the starts (that is what I heard). She never cut it; people said that is because
her mother does not let her do it. Poor girl, must have many split ends.

One
day, a foreign guy was walking around R’s house and he heard her sing (I forgot
again to tell something, she was a good singer. I think that maybe Adam Lavigne
would turn his chair to her if she tried to get on The Voice). She had an amazing voice. I imagine as Ariana Grande
singing. Powerful. 

He
was curious about the appearance of this singer, so he knocked on the door.
However, R’s mother told her to never open the door to strangers. He thought
that it had to have another entrance, so he stayed and watched if someone would
go in, or come out.&nbsp; Meanwhile, R was
just sneaking at her secret window. I say secret because it was not a regular
window, but a hole on the wall that she found years earlier. She used this hole
to see the outside world. It was the only view that she had from the outside of
her house. She had noticed the stranger who was trying to enter her house. 

He
lurked for couple of hours, until an old woman appeared at the door. She
pressed a hidden button and called for “braiding.” The guy did not understand
anything, until a yellow rope had been thrown from the window. The old woman
climbed the rope, as she was in the army. On another day, the curious guy
waited for the old woman to go out, and he went to the hidden button, pressed
and whispered “braiding.” When the yellow rope was thrown from the window, he
noticed that was not rope, but hair. He met Rapunzel, a beautiful,
sixteen-year-old girl, who did not know why her mother did not let her go
outside. Char Ming, his name, went with R outside, showed to her that the world
is worth being seen and enjoyed. Char and R ran away and lived happily ever
after, or that is what the book told me, but that kind of stuff does not happen
in real life. 


The
end.&nbsp;
