The Best Dream
Little Elisa was waiting at her bed, waiting for something good to happen. Then she peeked out her window silently, trying to find a light to lead her home. She had lived in a poor house and barely had food to eat. She knew that something would come one day. And she waited and waited as the days passed by.
“Get up Elisa! You have chores to do around the house!” Daddy would always say.
I never get free time around the house. I live by myself, and I have to walk to my daddy and mommy’s house every morning to do chores. Life is hard. I had to earn my own money and work all day. I would wish that I went with my grandma when I was small, but I was scared to. But if I did, I wouldn’t have to end up in this pile of mess. My grandma lives in the far side of the country living happily while I’m stuck here with my stepfather.
My grandma gave my an empty notebook when I was two years old. That was the only gift I’ve ever got from anyone. I had no idea of what it was for until now. It was a dairy. My grandma wanted me to write in it. She would always say that my life would get better when I was young. And now I’m still here. She told me to wait. She said that something will come to help me, something will. Now I write every day and tell my diary how I felt. It makes my feel like I’m with grandma, with grandma.
I’d wake up at 4:00 every morning to dress up and make breakfast. Not my breakfast, my daddy’s breakfast. My mommy was nicer than daddy. She’d eat breakfast at 8:00 so I would have some free time. But it doesn’t work because daddy would make me wash the dishes, wash his clothes, get this for him get that done. Mommy never knows.
Once I had took the mail out of the mailbox and found some mail at the very back that I could not see. It was from grandma. Daddy would never let me get her mail. I was sad, but what could I do, like once my friend said when she was leaving that I was dumb to stay.
Tis continued for years and years until one day, I dreamed of my grandma and she told me to make a piece of clothing out of fabric she had left me under the bed. Then, cover the piece of clothing on yourself and go outside to get a squash. Then, I woke up. I did what she told me to do. After I had picked the squash, I didn’t know what to do.
I sat in the garden for ten minutes and I saw a beautiful unicorn on the country road. I stood there. I didn’t move.Finally, a real unicorn!. I ran up to it and waiting for a magical moment. It flapped its wings. I saw sparkles in the air spelling out a sentence. It told me to get on the unicorn and take a nap. I did it without even thinking because it was so magical. I saw a pillow appear after I got on. I laid on the pillow. It was so soft, I went asleep very fast.
I woke up when we arrived. It was the best sleep that I’ve ever had. I arrived at a pretty house. It looked like home, but daddy was more nice. Grandma was there, sitting on the rocking chair, she looked like she knew I was going to come. I ran to her quickly. I suddenly felt tears coming down my chin. “Oh grandma!”I said
“Now don’t cry, let’s get you some new clothes and get you lunch!”grandma said.
“I love you grandma,”I said, crying even more. “I love you, too,”said grandma.
She got me some of the finest clothing in town and cooked me the best meal I’ve ever eaten.
“Now before you go to play Elisa, I have someone that I want you to meet,”grandma said.
I followed her along. I saw someone, someone that I had been friends with. It was Sally! My friend at my old home!
“Wow! You did get out of that mess!”She said. “Yep, I did,”I replied.
“ Well, then come on! Let’s play!” She shouted.
We played lots of games around the house.It was so fun! I went home again hand had an even better dinner.It was the best day of my life.
That night, I went to sleep on my new bed and fell asleep. When I woke up, I was back at my old home, but daddy wasn’t mean at all. I didn’t live in that poor house again. I live in a big mansion with my family. Yes, my grandma was there, and so was Sally. It must have been a dream that would change my life last night. It really changed my life.I didn’t have all those chores now. This night, I dreamed of riding on the unicorn again, but I was on my way to the palace wearing a big fancy dress.
In the morning, I got a letter that my whole family was invited to a party at the royal palace. There was more than one unicorn. Everybody went, And I rode with Sally. We arrived at the royal palace and I thought we were
just going to have food and games,but the princes that was dressed like a normal person was there. Nobody noticed. All the people there treated them rudely, but we didn’t we shared all our stuff with them. They took us to a secret garden. We danced all night. We danced until our feet were tired. The party ended a long time ago, but we kept dancing. We went to the King’s throne room later the next morning. The king talked to the princes. And before we knew it,we became princesses. We lived our good lives in the palace with our family in peace. And, we lived happily ever after.
