A UNIQUE STORY

A UNIQUE STORY

(© Patrícia Evans)

Once he travelled to a faraway country

which was not on any map

and found a very funny weird woman

who had a beautifull

and transparent pair of wings

that gave her a special shine

when she started to flutter them

and they made an usual noise

that filled the air with joy

And since she was able to sing so well

and make him feel so good

he decided he needed to have her

So, he took her to his home

and he cut her wings

and put her into a little box

he used to carry in his pocket

so no one could see her

and his secret would be safe.

The box had a small hole

from where she used to breath

and he used to feed her.

Whenever he felt lonely

or sad

he waited for everyone to leave

and he opened the box

so she could sing, and sing and sing.

But, the more time passed

the weaker she became

Her wings were cut

and she was not bright anymore.

no noise of joy

no beautiful song.

So weak she was

she died.

And when he opened the box

looking for happiness

and found her body

he cut it into pieces

so no one could know

what was in the envelopes

he sent back

to that country

which was not on any map.
