Happily Living in a Fairy Tale

Where I heard this story
I heard this story in kindergarden. I do not know who wrote this story, but I know that is is a fable. I wrote this story from memory.

The Story
Once upon a time, there lived a mother who had two daughters, Rose and Daisy. This mother favored Rose over Daisy, treating Rose like queen, while treating Daisy like a servant. Daisy was a very kind person; despite the way her sister and mother treated her. Sleepily, got out of bed one morning and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Rose and her mother. She found no water. After discovering this, Daisy decided to go to well to get water. When Daisy got to the well, which was on the other side of the village, she spotted an elderly woman standing by the well. Daisy kindly offered to help the woman get a drink of water. Once the woman drank, she turned into a beautiful angel. Daisy, who was very surprised, jumped back in shock. The angel said, “Because of your kindness, jewels will appear whenever you speak.” Then the angel disappeared. Daisy got water from the well, and scurried home. She couldn’t wait to tell her family.

             As Daisy walked in the door, she saw Rose and her mother. “Uh oh.” Thought Daisy. “Where have you been? I had to come down and make breakfast for myself and Rose!” yelled Daisy’s mother. Daisy opened her mouth to explain, and jewels suddenly appeared in the room. Rose gasped. After Daisy explained, the room was full of jewels; so many, that they were already wealthier than the king himself. Greedily, Daisy’s mother hugged the jewels and kissed Daisy on the cheek. Rose, who was very jealous, said, “Mother, let me go to the well so that I can find the old woman and get this power.” “Of course! What a great idea!” answered Daisy’s mother. Rose walked across town to the well and waited there. A young woman walked over and asked Rose for a drink of water. “Get it yourself! Your young and able.” Rose exclaimed. Suddenly, the young woman turned into an angel! “Because you were rude to me and did not give me a drink of water, frogs and salamanders will appear whenever you speak!” Then, the angel disappeared, Rose stood there, stunned at what had just transpired.

              Rose walked in, and was instantly surrounded by Daisy and her mother. Rose’s mother wanted Rose to tell her what happened. At first, Rose did not want to speak, but maybe nothing would happen. After all, she was her mother’s favorite. And she was beautiful. Rose opened her mouth to explain, and the room was filled with the disgusting stench of frogs and salamanders in two seconds flat. Naturally, Rose’s mother let out a piercing scream, which could have shattered a window. As Rose continued her explanation, more creatures appeared. Finally, Rose finished. Daisy ran to the well and begged the angel to change Rose back to her normal self. Daisy told the angel that she would even trade powers with Rose if that’s what it took. After hearing Daisy’s plea, the angel made Rose normal. Daisy, however, also lost her power. Rose and her mother realized how wrong they were in treating Daisy like a servant girl. The family was finally a loving one, and they gave all of the jewels to the poor, which eliminated poverty in the country. They also took the creatures to the huge pond in the forest. Therefore, everyone lived happily ever after.
