"Sleeping Ugly" Pt. 2

This is part 2 of "Sleeping Ugly"

16 YEARS LATER………..
Rose was almost 17 when she opened the door singing a tune. But her parents saw her and made her close the door. “Why can’t I go outside!?” Rose asked. “If you stay out in sun too long, you’ll get wrinkles.” Said the queen, as she showed her daughter her wrinkles. “That doesn’t make any –.” But her parents were already out the door before she could finish what she was saying. “I sure hope I can go out -.” But she stopped. She felt a little funny so she decided to lie down.
The next morning was her birthday! Once she woke up, her body hurt all over. She tried to get up but her back was killing her. About 2 hours later, she got out of bed and looked in the mirror. Once she saw the reflection, she SCREAMED!
“What happened to me!?” she asked her parents. Her mother sighed and said, “Madelia put a spell on you that once you came of age, you would turn into an old hag. But now that no prince wants to marry you, you must be on the common man and work for you food and money. Here are peasant clothes, go get changed and come back down stairs.” So, she went up stairs, got changed, and came back down.
“Guards! Get this peasant woman out of MY SIGHT!!!” Shouted the king. ‘WE LOVE YOU!!!” said the king and queen together.
And so, Rose lived of the common people. What is the moral of the story? Who knows!The End…?
