the golden bread once upon a time in a
tiny village there lived a woman named
Marion with her only daughter
Narcisa Marion was extremely humble and
sweet Narcisa however was completely the
opposite you see she was beautiful
beyond words she was like a living doll
and the most amusing part is she loved
herself to no ends
Narcisa would you help me bake the bread
huh no way mom the flour maids all my
bright and sparkly eyes Narcisa would
you help me plant these seeds what why
would I do that what have I got all that
dirt on my lovely fingers worse what if
it went onto my face well that was the
problem with Narcisa she thought herself
too great to do any work many suitors
came to ask for narcissus hand in
marriage since her beauty was known far
and wide but she rejected them all very
rudely why did you send those men away
yesterday they seemed nice you can't be
serious mom one of them had such small
eyes almost like a bird's and the other
had a huge nose I wouldn't want to be
near him when he sneezed
oh oh and the last stop no I don't want
to hear any more all I could see was
that those men were really nice my dear
you must know that beauty isn't
everything
mother you have to realize I deserve
someone like a prince or a knight oh
dear one night when she was sleeping her
mother sat at her side watching her My
dear child you are so beautiful and
lovely but you do not care about
anything other than your beauty
at that moment narcissus started to
laugh in her sleep
her mother was extremely surprised how
nice she must be having a really funny
dream the next morning when narcissus l
woke up she was all smiles and giggles
here sweetheart tell me what did you
dream about last night well mom it was
such an amazing dream you know there was
this prince who came up to me and said
that he wanted to marry me he had come
in a golden carriage and he was dressed
from top to bottom and gold as well what
a silly dream and you know the best part
of it was when I was in my wedding dress
which was of gold too of course
everyone was staring at only me Narcisa
there is nothing amazing about that
dream it was a very egotistical dream
mom you don't know what you're saying
that dream has made me realize that I
need food much grander than the type I
eat here at home bread made of gold just
think of that poor narcissus mother was
so worried about her daughter and how
she would live her life
that day two friends came to visit
narcissus mother
they were Mellie and Terry the three of
them had been friends for ages but Terry
and Ellie had a secret both of them were
magical beings something that narcisse's
mother knew nothing about Terry Mellie
oh it's so good to see you it's been
very long hasn't it
how have you been I have been very good
I would have been better if only if only
what if only my daughter Narcisa was a
little more understanding
Marian told Mellie and Terry all about
Narcisa and how she was worried for her
she wants to eat bread made of gold what
do I do with her well maybe if her dream
comes true that would be wonderful
wouldn't it well no matter I guess in
time she will grow to learn let's talk
about something else now
later on Mellie and Terry waved goodbye
to their old friend and went away
smiling to each other secretively that
night both mother and daughter got ready
for bed mother I really hope my dream
comes true you know Oh
Narcisa the next day as Narcisa and her
mother were outside in their garden a
beautiful golden carriage came riding up
to them
it was studded in gems and diamonds and
looked extremely stunning as it stopped
a handsome man came out of it and looked
at Narcisa
she was completely taken aback at how
handsome he was
my dream is actually coming true
umm.what hello I have come here to ask
for narcissus hand in marriage but how
do you know her name and who are you I
am Terrence the angel of good fortunes
your daughter's name and beauty is known
throughout the world here I've brought
you a gift
what but you hardly know him you can't
go with him Oh silly he's rich and
handsome what more could I want Terrence
I accept your proposal and with that she
got into his carriage and without even
saying goodbye to her mother rode off
with the angel as they were travelling
the carriage suddenly entered a magical
portal there it traveled through a
stormy area the carriage bumped around
tremendously and Narcissa was very
scared don't worry my dear
all of this will soon be over just as he
said this the carriage went through
another portal and reached the driveway
of a huge and magnificent golden castle
Narcisa was amazed at all the beauty she
saw I knew I deserve so many riches I
knew you'd like it anything you want
you will find here from the prettiest of
dresses to the tastiest of foods all of
it in my palace
well speaking of food I'm really hungry
after that ride I'm starving
can I have any of that tasty food of
course here meat smelly
Melissa she will get you whatever you
want
I've heard so much about you you poor
dear you're hungry aren't you
come let's go to the dining table and
I'll get you some food oh thank you
they went into the dining room and there
on the table was the most astounding
food Narcisa had ever seen amazing
that's because it is the jams are made
of rubies the salads of emeralds and the
bread over there is made of gold golden
bread how lovely
this Jam will look and taste lovely with
the bread she took a slice with the Ruby
jam on it and took a huge bite this is
so hot I can't eat this well it is bread
made of gold and the finest too but if
you can't eat it should I get you silver
bread silver huh why don't you eat
something else but I want normal bread
bread which I can eat don't you have
that look so wife-to-be of my sire shell
it's cold you must only eat the best
Narcis l looked at all the food but was
heartbroken for everything there was
inedible she soon started to cry I don't
want this but the food is really good
here try some golden potatoes they're
really good and after you're married to
me you'll have to eat all of this I
thought you liked fancy things no I
don't want to marry you I want to go
home to my mother let me go home
Melissa and Terrence looked at each
other and winked well if that's really
what you want then I'll take you home
Terrence took the crying and unhappy
Narcis at home in the carriage she
started to think deeply about the
choices she had made when she reached
home she ran to hug her mother who was
sitting in the house sad nor sister
o my sweet daughter I thought I'd never
see you again
Oh mom I love you so much and you were
right looks and riches aren't everything
the gold bread was useless as I couldn't
eat it and the man even though he was
handsome he didn't care for me at all
but my dear do you realize that that is
exactly the way you treated others I
know I'm so sorry for the way I acted
mom
oh no it's alright since you've seen
what your mistake was come let's feed
you something nice from that day onwards
Narcisa changed her ways she struggled
at first but slowly and patiently she
started to become a lot nicer one day
Mellie and Terry came to meet Marian
again oh hello you two so tell us Marian
how's narcissism now Marian told them
both everything that had happened and
she's changed so much from that time has
she
I guess she wouldn't want any more gold
bread now huh
you know Terry you actually look a
little like that angel though what am I
seeing how could you be him you two are
so nice
