A Tail of Regret
‘But why do I have a tail Mamma,’ tiny blonde Denirya whined. ‘None of the other girls have one.’
Mamma stopped chopping onions, turned, bent low, and tapped Denirya’s chin. ‘Because you are magical, honey.’
Denirya rolled here eyes. Mamma always said that.
She chopped more onions and plunked them into the soup.
Again Denirya tugged on Mamma’s voluminous skirts. ‘But why am I magical.’
This time Mamma kept chopping and said, ‘Your daddy is magical, it comes from him. Don’t be sad about it, magic is more wonderful than being ordinary.’
Denirya pouted. ‘But I want to be ordinary.’
