It was almost Christmas and the Grade 4 class agreed to wear fairy tale costumes.
Ysabellah still hasn’t thought of a costume. Her cousin Louisa was going to wear
green, tulle dress and wings, as Tinker Bell. Ysabellah thought that was the best
idea ever. Before, Louisa always took Ysabellah and they always had costumes that
.
went together. But this year, Louisa had been too busy with her friends to help
Ysabellah with her costume. Ysabellah didn’t know what to do.
Ysabellah was looking in some magazines for costume ideas when her mother
asked her to go with her in the department store. At the store, she saw at the dress
section a sky blue semi-long gown and remembered Cinderella. So she asked her
mother to buy the dress for her costume. The dress costs P595.00, so her mother
bought it for her. Ysabellah was so happy and jumped for joy. She had a costume!
She was going to be Cinderella.
