Little little happiness

Once upon a time, there lived a family in Melbourne. The father had three lovely children and the mother had passed away while giving birth to her youngest child Zylith. The last words of the mother were “When we have each other, we have everything.” 

The next day they set up a funeral for the mother and the father muttered slowly “Gone but never forgotten.”With the passing of time Zylith grew to be a very gracious girl. 

Everyone around her loved her for her kind heart and she was also very clever. The two older sisters were egotistical and greedy. 

They always celebrated Christmas and it was Christmas Eve at last. Everyone was so excited and they all started to prepare for it.

“Hey Verose doesn’t hang those stupid bubbles, the tree already looks ugly as you” said Emily the oldest sister. She burst out laughing and Verose yelled “Shut up! And you Zylith what the hell are you watching? You better not forget that mom died because of you and she is not here to celebrate Christmas with us, it’s all because of you! From the moment you were born misfortune have been following you.”

 

Zylith tried not to shed her tears and ran to her room. Smirked the two of them and she cried while hugging her mother’s picture.

 After awhile the father came home and told his daughters to hand him the cards and that he’ll post them to Santa on his way to work.

As their father was a merchant, he was mostly out. In the morning there were two presents beautifully wrapped.

The two older sisters got what they wished for, a fine silk dress and a jewelry. The two of them asked “Where is your present Zylith?” Giggled the both of them.

It’s right here said Zylith.

The father said “What do you mean?” You guys are my present and what I need the most. When we have each other, we have everything and the greatest gift of all is family and my greatest pleasure is spending time with you all and I’m happy for that said Zylith. We’re sorry for everything.

You are the good fortune in our family and please forgive us for how we treated you said Verose and Emily. I forgive you two, after all we are a family and family is a gift that lasts forever said Zylith. They all cried out of happiness and lived happily ever after.
