Once upon a time, there was a kingdom whose was ruler was called King Judah. He ruled his people in a good way and gave them food. In this kingdom, there were three sisters who lived in a small house in the village. The oldest one was called Elena, the second one was called Sonia and the youngest was called Jasmine. Jasmine was the prettiest of them all. The older sisters were jealous of Jasmine’s beauty. One day the King invited all the most beautiful girls in the village for a ball. Elena and Sonia had a plan to tear Jasmine’s dress in order for her not to go for the ball. The dress was from her mother as a gift. The two sisters laughed at her and said there’s no way she was going for the ball. Jasmine cried and cried. She stood up and wiped her tears and told herself she wasn’t going to give up. “I must make the most beautiful dress which is better than the others,” she said. When her two sisters went, Jasmine repaired her dress and was finally able to go for the ball. When she arrived at the palace, the king saw her and asked her to dance with him. Jasmine said yes. The king fell in love with her because she was very beautiful and Jasmine also fell in love. Soon the king asked Jasmine to marry him and Jasmine said yes. They later got married and lived happily ever after. The writer is a pupil at Kigali Parents’ school
