The Orphan Girl

Once there was a girl, she was an orphan and she lived in an orphanage. The girl became bitter and sour and wanted a real home. She would cry every day because her parents died. Then she ran away from the orphanage to look for a home. An adult saw her and said, "hey do you have a home?" She said, "No. My parents died and now I'm in a silly orphanage." "Do you want me to take care of you?", said the adult. The girl said, "No." The adult left. Another lady saw her, "Hi. I'm Amelia. I'll take you home because I have lots of money". "Okay, okay, I'll stay with you. Just for the money.", said the girl. After the girl realized just because the other girl wasn't rich, doesn't mean she's lame. "I'm sorry, but I need to go", said the girl. "I'm sorry when I said go away to you", said the girl to the first adult. "I'll stay with you if you want." The adult said, "Of course". So they lived together. The girl because her daughter. Now I realize that it doesn't matter about being rich or popular. It's about being who you are, realized the girl. Now that's a real home!
