The Magic Anklet
Scene 6:
After the Ball
Setting:
The sisters’ house
Narrator 1:
Fleet of foot, Anahita reached her house a full two minutes before her sisters did. The genie returned her to the rags. The sisters were none the wiser. How did the ball go? It was amazing. The prince asked me to marry him, but I said no. Really? The prince asked you to be his bride? But I turned him down. You turned the prince down? Why do you keep repeating everything, Anahita? Are you deaf? Did you enjoy the ball, Roshni? Of course, I did. The prince asked me to marry him, too. He did ? Don’t sound so surprised, Anahita. I’m incredibly beautiful.
