World Storytelling Day 2016: Part 1 by JenniferESL

In a quiet town two sisters decided to take a walk

in the woods near their home.

They often forgot how much they enjoyed being outdoors

until their mother said something like,

"Why don't you go outside? It's such a nice day!"

If they complained that there was nothing to do inside or outside,

she'd tell her girls to turn off their computers,

put their phones away, and find something to do.

"Don't wait for life to happen. Go and make it happen."

And so the two girls would head out together,

not really with a plan,

but at least they were no longer sitting in one place.

On this day, the girls went a little farther than usual

and came across a beautiful large tree.

They'd never seen anything quite like it before,

so they walked closer.

Then a fairy appeared under the branches.

The sisters stared and grew more surprised

when the fairy began to speak.
