Storytelling: The Twins

Image
Once upon a time there lived two twin girls who lived in an attic of a beautiful mansion. They were the servant girls of a horrific woman and her three daughters. The two twin girls lost their family long ago to a car accident and found themselves with no place to live and no money. The girls, Sarah and Tara, accepted jobs as maids in order to support themselves and gain a place to live. Their boss made them do ridiculous tasks just because she had to the right to. She had a tight leash on them because she knew that they had very little money and would not survive on their own.  One day when Tara and Sarah were cleaning the homeowner’s closet, they came across something quite peculiar.

           There were once a family of three brothers who were walking along a road very late at night. The brothers soon grew to be parched, so they went to find a nearby source of water. Once they found a river nearby, they hurried towards it. They were so thankful to find this river because they thought that they might die of thirst. As they draw closer and closer to drinking the water, a shadow appears in the sky. They soon come to learn that this shadow is in fact, the shadow of death. Death told the three brothers that before they could drink the water, they were entitled to a wish.              The oldest brother requested a wand that was struck with magic. An object that was more powerful than any weapon. Death goes to a nearby tree and makes a wand from the branch. He strikes it with magic and gifts it to the elder brother. The second brother asks for the power to bring back loved ...
