Bella here. Ok, our blog does seem dead... So to make things livelier, I've decided to add a few things.Chapter 1
Once upon a time, in a cottage in the woods, lived a woodcutter, his wife, and his daughter, Shahanaz. One day while the family was out chopping wood, Shahanaz got separated from her parents and was lost in the forest.
All alone in the forest, Shahanaz came across a girl called Zaynab. Seeing just how hungry Shahanaz was, Zaynab offered to share her 2 golden eggs with her for lunch. Curious as to why the eggs were golden in color, S asked Z where she got them from. Z then proceeded to tell S her story from a few days ago…
Z was an orphan. With nothing much to do, she often wandered far and wide across the lands. One day, she stumbled upon some rainbow colored seeds. Curious to know what kind of plant those seemingly magical seeds would grow into, she decided to plant them, only to discover that they had grown into an extremely huge beanstalk that reached all the way past the clouds!
Intrigued to know what she might find there, Z decided to climb this magnificent beanstalk. Up and up she went, until she came across a magnificent giant castle! Seeing as she had nothing better to do anyway, Z decided to explore the gigantic castle. And since it would take too long to write, and you guys probably know what’s going to happen right now, I’ll just cut to the chase to the part when she was with the hen that laid golden eggs and was confronted by the giant. In her rush, Z only managed to grab 2 golden eggs before she fled, chopping the beanstalk just before the giant reaches the ground and that’s the end of that story.
Now back to the present, those golden eggs happen to be the most delicious food that S and Z had ever eaten. They started talking about themselves and quickly became great friends. They decided to travel together.
However, their journey didn’t go too well, and after a few days, the 2 were hungry again. But as luck would have it, just when those 2 were on the verge of collapsing from hunger and exhaustion, they came across a cottage made of candy!! Too hungry to think about who might be the owner of the house, S and Z started munching on the large assortment of sweets. So engrossed were they in stuffing snacks in their mouth that they didn’t notice the door of the cottage opening…
Hope you've enjoyed it! Truthfully, I never thought this story would go so long... So instead of making it seem like I'm spamming posts, I'll see if you guys like it. Only if you do then I'll continue :)
