Explanation:
They mocked Marble.
They all said that she was just another misfit among the millions of
other species on this universe. She was an unwanted fool made of herself.
They said that she wasn't beautiful because of her markings. Her markings
weren't like the others. She wasn't colorful at all. She wasn't like the others.
The thoughts got to her head. Marble looked at herself and mumbled,
"What am I? Why do I look like this? Why do I have to feel unwanted?"
Marble fell into a deep trance of hating herself and disliking how she looked.
She didn't want this. She didn't like it. She hated how she felt about herself.
Sulking, head down, and weeping, she returned home from her awful experience.
She knocked at her mother's door and her mother opened it. She greeted her
child with a happy smile that soon turned to anguish. Marble hugged her mother
and started choking out her words, sobbing in between talking. Her mother listened
to her every word. Marble finished talking and refused to let go of her mother.
Marble's mother shook her head and took her inside. Wiping her tears, Marble
nodded and went inside. She flopped down on the couch and curled up
in fetal position.
Her mother sat next to her with a rectangular box. It had a wonderful golden
design on the front, and numerous gemstones were glued to the front of it.
Marble thought it looked like a treasure chest. Her mother set it next to
her child and urged her to open it. Marble hesitantly opened it, and inside
was a gemstone, sitting upon a velvety cushion on the bottom.
Not just any gemstone, though. It was a Peruvian blue opal tied to a
long black leather string. It shone like the morning skies and seemed to glow.
Marble looked at her mother, confused. Her mother simply gave a good chuckle,
and explained.
"This opal is to remind you that you are beautiful. You are beautiful,
no matter what your misfits are. This opal represents your personality.
You are bright. Lighthearted. And very beautiful."
"Is this for me?" Marble whimpered. "Yes dear. It is for you. Put it on."
Marble put it on without hesitating and smiled ear to ear.
The day after that, she reminded herself that she was beautiful.
She was bright and lighthearted. And best of all, she didn't care about
what others had to say about her appearance.
