The Gold Mask

I was at home in France at 9o’clock , I’m Daphne a pretty young lady with wavy ginger hair . I
have a round, pale face and red lips. I was closing my wardrobe when suddenly my enemy
appeared behind the door . Anastasia Emerald. The Green lady. She was cruel and unkind. She
ware a green dress with white stripes like a zebra. She said “I’m going to be the winner in the ball"

I went to the ball where you could win the legendary gold mask of the Queen of the Ball
which was like a crown or tiara. Suddenly, a black flash appeared and the lights went off. Moments
later, the light came back and the mask had disappeared. This mystery was in my hands. I asked
all the ladies, Green, Pink, Blue and Black ladies but nothing. Then I had an idea. My idea was to
put a false mask in the ball and catch the thief. That idea worked. I found that the thief was lady
because suddenly the Pink lady took off the trap and the lady disappeared behind a curtain. I
asked the Pink lady 1.000 million of question but she said nothing in the trap was a emerald like in
Anastasia’s dress “ She was the thief ” I thought.

We captured Anastasia and “ The winner of the ball is …..Daphne!! ” I Heard the hast saying ¡ Oh
My God ! “ That’s me ” I said to myself. “ I’m very happy, thank you ”. Now I keep the mask in a
glass urn where nobody can steal it.
