Selky! selky!!
The poor girl heard her mother
call out loudly.
She ran as fast as her legs could
carry, wondering as she ran if she had done something wrong.
There by the stool she found her
mother grinning, “Selky my daughter, Aunt Ralia will take you away from the
hardship of the village to the sky lights of the city.”
All she had to do, her mother
told her, was to be grateful.
Selky! Selky!!
The poor girl heard her aunt call
out loudly.
She ran as fast as her legs could
carry, wondering as she ran what she did do wrong this time.
There on the sofa she found her
aunt fuming, “you stupid child, I rescued you from a life of hardship and
plan to put you in a school but you are good for nothing.”
Selky wasn’t sad, now she is
grateful and hopeful.
