Modern Fairytale

Once upon a time, there was a little girl whose name was Mary and she lived in the city center of a big city with her parents.

   One day her grandmother, who was living at the suburbs, wanted some medicine and she asked Mary to purchase them for her. So she started from her house with some money and went to the pharmacy to buy the medicine. Then she went to the bus stop to take the bus for her grandmother’s house.

   When she got on the bus, she sat down to a free seat. Immediately a stranger sat next to Mary and asked her: “Hello little girl, where are you going alone?’’. And then Mary replied: “I am going to visit my grand mum who lives at the suburbs’’. The stranger and Mary didn’t talk again during the route.

   Afterwards Mary got off the bus she started walking towards her destination. She was alone on the street and as a result she was feeling a little bit scared. As soon as she reached the house she knocked the door but she found out that the door was open. Next, the little girl went into the house and saw her grandmother sitting on the sofa. When she turned her head, Mary saw the face clearly and she realized that that wasn’t her grandmother but the stranger from the bus! Then she started shouting and screaming.
   Fortunately a policeman who was walking outside the house heard Mary! He went inside the house and took out his weapon. The stranger followed the policeman to the police station.
   Mary went downstairs to the basement and saw her grandmother anchored on a chair. She immediately untied her and they went upstairs to relax after this unpleasant experience they lived happily ever after.
