  Some time ago, in the city of Emires the great, there lived a farmer with his family, they have so much to live for but they don’t have money. Emires the great is blessed with three children, a girl and two boys and his beloved wife Rose, she is very beautiful. As time goes on things became worst and Emires the great struggled very had to survive, one day, the great Emires became very sick and in that moment in the city became very quiet. He knew very well that he is going to die, he cried out loud to his God, I still have roll to play in my family, why have you forsaking me! So he started calling his family one after the other, he started blessing them. To his wife, he said to her, you are the main reason why I saw light today, so light will not depart from you my morning rose. The next day he called on his first son and he blessed him, the next day he blessed his second son and in the fourth day he called on her daughter, his eye beloved. My daughter you are like you mother, he couldn’t hold down his tears, he brought out rose flower which he has been growing for long, the rose flower which he will give her on her birthday, in this particular moment things became normal again, and in away perfect for him, he told her a story of all the roses he has been growing in the garden for years, he made her know that the red roses is more beautiful and glittering among all other roses in the garden. He turned to her daughter with painful tears down his chicks and he said to her ‘’ you will glitter like the red roses’’ with the red roses on her face. He finally gave up after saying that.

       From that day her daughter began to glitter day after day, she couldn’t help it any more people, her friends began to avoid her and she received so many names from her friends, some even called her a witch, she is now coursed and casted away like an abomination. She does nothing than to wip in agony, pain.

  With regrets, she decided to leave town to an unknown location but she was very worried about her face, she became a prisoner at her own house.
