The girl with dark hair
Once upon a time, there was a girl with dark hair. Her name was Selena. She was lonely because the other girls all had pale, blond hair. Her mother told her that she was precious and exceptional, not weird and wrong. But she still thought her hair messed up everything. She stuck out. She was always sad. she couldn`t join other girls because she was just different. Selena thought that when her hair`s color change, her life will change too. She always wished her hair to be blond like other girls.One day, a stranger with grayish black hood came to her house. He said, "If you follow me, I can change your hair color. I know a good method." She considered following a stranger and dye her hair, or don`t do that. Finaly, she decided. She paid some money from her allowance. She hoped that it would be permanent. The stranger took her somewhere she did not know. Then he took off his hood. His hair was dark like hers, too! Her eyes went big and round. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. This was the first time she ever saw another person having dark hair. The stranger whispered, "Selena." But Selena couldn`t find her voice. The stranger whispered hoarsely, "Selena." again. Selena finally found her voice. "Who... Who are you? How come you have dark hair, like me?" she said. He responded faintely, "Oh, Selena, I am your father. Didn`t you ever thought how strange it is, you having dark hair but your mother having pale hair? You have my hair. My dark one." Selena said, shuddering by this new fact, "How come I didn`t know you? If you are really my father?" "Because your mother didn`t like my hair. I wore this hood when I met her. I always wore hood. She didn`t know that I had dark hair. Then you were born, and you had dark hair. She was confused, so I had to tell her the truth." Selena asked, "Why did you came here then?", a little hopefully, wishing the answer would be, "Becaused I missed you."
The answer was, however, a little different. He answered, "Because I want you to have self-confidence on yourself, and on your hair. I moped around with my hair in my whole life, and I regret it. So I want you not to make mistake I made. Your hair color is really unusual. Your hair makes you special. Without it, you are just an unremarkable common girl. Your hair makes yourself." When Selena heard this, she became really positive. With her father`s words, she was encouraged. She started to like her hair. She smiled and said, "Okay." After that, she asked her father to stay with her mother and herself, and he accepted. Finally, Selena had a whole family, very characteristic, very peculiar, her own family. And they lived happily ever after.
