A Little Dream
By Christina Fatayri Grade 7
Once upon a time , there was a little girl named Elizabeth . Elizabeth was ten years old and she loved the circus , and she had a dream to become a part of it . When she becomes older , -Elizbeth and her mother moved to New York City . She was the only child for her parents . Elizabeth ’ s father wasn ’ t with them , because he was living in Canada for his job . Elizabeth used to see her dad three months a year . She had friends at school who know about her dreams and encourage her .
Elizabeth was clever and genius in class . She was five years old , when her father left to Canada for the first time . One day she got her something she could have fun with it . He bought her a swing and she hanged it in her backyard . Every day , when Elizabeth finishes her homework , she runs out of the house to her backyard to make moves on her swing that was like her best friend . Her parents loved her talent and encouraged her to watch circus shows on TV all night long . But , she never saw a live show . One day , when her dad was at home and she was watching a circus show , he told her ”: Today , we are going to a real live circus show ”. when Elizabeth heard that , the words couldn ’ t tell how much she was happy and excited . Elizabeth wore the best clothes she had . When they arrived at the show , there were so many people that Elizabeth couldn ’ t see her shadow . So , her parents lost her in the crowd ! And when the show was over , she couldn ’ t go anywhere . But , she had one choice , to join the circus .
Thirteen years passed by and Elizabeth was so beautiful than before and she grew up in the -cicus and had more knowledge than before . Moreover , she was professional , as she dreamed to be . Elizabeth ’ s parents were looking for her for years . Her dad stopped working in Canada . Her mother couldn ’ t do anything even cooking or doing the house chores . Their house was full of sadness when they lost their very own lonely daughter . The circus had a festival at New York City . The parents came to see if their beloved daughter was there , and there she was ! Elizabeth was doing the moves that she learned , on a giant elephant ! When her parents saw her they were full of pride . When the show was over , Elizabeth ’ s parents ran to see her . They hugged her and said ”: Oh my dear Elizabeth , we were looking all over for you … we are very proud of you my angel ! ” I ’ m so sorry I left you behind for the circus ! I ’ ll never do it again , I promise ”! Elizabeth replied .
Years went by , and Elizabeth lived with her parents and had a really good life . Her parents weren ’ t able to do any jobs , so Elizabeth was working in the circus to support her family .
