Hello, Granny Mirror

 

 

            It was a rainy day. There was nobody at home, and I was so bored. I kept wandering around, searching for something interesting. Right then, I heard a small moaning sound. Thought it was a wind, but it wasn’t. There was absolutely someone in the house other than me. I picked up my baseball bat. Holding it high in the air, I started to find the source of the moaning sound. I searched for quite a long time, but there was nothing.

 
          Depressed, I turned around and found a strange mirror that I have never seen before. The mirror was so antique that it looked older than me. I stared at the mirror carefully. It was kind of strange. I couldn’t see my own face! Shrieking, I jumped far away from the mirror.
 

            I kept staring at the mirror. ‘Is it haunted?’ I thought. ‘Ghost must be playing a trick on me’, I was scared. Suddenly, the mirror shook. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The mirror was laughing at me! It didn’t have eyes, nose, or lips, but I could feel that this mirror was alive. I asked the mirror where it was from.

         

         The mirror said, “I am your grandma’s mirror. I’ve been here since you were born! I kept calling you, but you never heard me.”

 

          I was stunned. “Why did you try to speak to me? Is it something very serious?”

 

         The mirror smiled sweetly. “I saw you crying because you weren’t satisfied with your looks. I just wanted to tell you that you are a lovely child no matter what you wear and how you look.”

 

         My heart began to beat fast. That's what I wanted to hear from my people. I was touched. I hugged the mirror and the mirror went quiet as usual.
