What happen when you are fooled to an outward appearance?
CINDY AND THE MAGIC SHOE


Once upon a time in a far away land, live a girl named Cindy had no penny or dime. She’s a goody though sometimes silly, thus her stepsister always call her “sissy”. She lived in a hut together with some nut. I mean I should say, her step mom and step sis who’s full of crackpot.

She trust somebody so easily that always ends with tragedy. I guess she’ll never learn until that fateful day.

A fairy godmother showed as she introduced herself, but hidden in that curtsy face lays a devious elf! Poor silly little Cindy unknown to the ulterior motive went to the flow unprotected.

The fairy godmother gave her a magic shoe and promised that it will grant any! Her wishes will come true. The girl was so happy that it couldn’t be subdue.

“When the clock strives at twelve, in your right foot put the shoe, then you’ll see the treasure you’d wish that’s for true!” she vanished having the  hidden sinister smile while the good little girl nod and thinks so much that could reach a mile.

The naïve girl followed the fairy godmother’s advice, never thought the danger ahead of her lies.

Dong…dong…dong…some raven flew, the clock sounded so low. That doesn’t matter for she’s focus on the gold she thought, she know.

One, two, three she sighed deeply then she put on the shoe swiftly.
Four, five, six a hallow wind was felt…t’was a jinx! Then, an evil cloud sprouted in a blink.

She wanted to run but her foot was rooted. She shouted, wailed, and asked for help. All was in vain. She was dead.

Now, now little dear listen to what grandma’s saying. Don’t be fool by the  stranger’s look, which is charming or you might end up dying!
