Magic Rose

By Yesenia C.

One day, under a waterfall, a flower was born. The flower was a red rose. The rose was magic.

One early morning, a girl named Laura was going to her sister’s house. Laura’s sister was Elda.

Elda had a child. Her husband died when that child was only six months old. He had supported Elda and her child. Now, with him gone, Elda needed to find work.

Elda had been looking for a job, but she couldn’t find one. Laura thought that she had a way to help.

She took the red rose and gave it to her Elda. Elda thanked her sister and she planted the flower in a pot where it continued to grow.

When Laura smelled the rose, she began to feel funny. It was the magic of the rose. She told Elda not to worry, she would find a job soon. Next morning, on the way to look for a job, Elda smelled the rose. She went to a store and asked the manager if he needed some help around the store. The man said that Elda could start working the next day.
