“Papa, please! It’s my birthday in three days, can I please go outside for the first time?” Marissa asked.
“No! I cannot let you out, it’s too dangerous out there! Please Marissa, I’ve told you so many times, people will cut your hair, your hair is a gift. People have greed in it, your hair is rich hair.. Please Marissa..” Papa shouted back.
Marissa felt down, she didn’t know why her hair was so precious. She didn’t know why her family held her back from going outside.
“Tell me why my hair is so precious.” Marissa said softly, but in a strong way.
There were tears coming out of her papa’s eyes.
“I can’t tell you..” Her father responded in a very depressed and shaky way. “Not until your 13th birthday.” Julius stepped out of Marissa’s door. “You know I love you. That is why I try to protect you..” Papa slowly closed the door, “Good night Marissa.”
Marissa paused for a moment.
I don’t get it.. It’s only hair..? “Ugh! I’m so stressed!” Marissa yelled throwing her soft pillow.
“Marissa..?”
“Oh, sorry Elspeth..” Marissa softly responded,
“That’s fine. Go to bed now, tomorrow we might have a fun day!”
Elspeth is always happy. She is always happy being with our farm animals.
“Goodnight.”
Omg I have no idea why that was copied? ._.
