Narrative

once upon a time, in a small village somewhere across the sea, lived a boy named Tom. Tom was basically a nice boy. he is friendly, always smiling and love animals, so thats why he has so many friends. But, it wasnt a secret at that time that Tom is a tight-fisted person. but because of his friendly personality and all, everybody still liked him anyway. but not this old witch who lived in the forest. one time, this witch saw Tom rejected to give a poor little girl half of his fresh-from-the-oven bread, even though that little girl said that she hasnt ate anything for the past three days. Tom shouted at that little girl that he will not give the bread to anyone, includes that little girl. not in million years. Since that accident, the witch has always been thinking every ways to give Tom a lesson.

so, one day, Tom was on his way home from school. It was a sunny day, so Tom decided to sit around the garden for a while. and suddenly, a beautiful girl came to Tom, probably the most beautiful girl that Tom has ever seen. she wore a dirty dress and she was barefoot. Tom was really confused, he didnt know who this beautiful girl was, when suddenly that girl said 'do you have any food? i havent ate anything'. At that time, Tom actually had 2 slices of cheesecake in his bag, but he felt like not sharing it to anyone. he wants to eat those two slices of heaven all by himself. but, then Tom gave the girl a slice of cheesecake and hide the other one. then the girl said, 'Thank You!" and eat the cheesecake happily. when the girl has done eating the cheesecake, she asked once again 'do you have other food? im still hungry' the girl said while looking at her stomach. Tom knew that the girl was really hungry, because the look on the girl's face said a really bad starvation, but still Tom wont giving the other slice to the girl, so he lied. "no"

'ah. okay then, thanks for the cake' said the girl. then suddenly the girl turned into a fairy, a beautiful fairy. 'hai, thanks for helping me minutes ago. so do you have any wish? maybe its the only way for me to say thank you to you' said the fairy. Tom was so surprised and happy at the same time, he started to think the wish. then remembered, he always wanted a bike for so long but his mother wont buy it for him cause a bike is just too expensive. 'a bike' tom said. then the fairy said something like a spell, and......... ta-da! a bike came out of nowhere. Tom was beyond happy when seeing that he finally got a bike, but he was angry when seeing that the fairy gave him only a half bike. so the front part of the bike was there, but the rest was gone. 'i want a bike. not this thing. what is this? a half bike?' tom said angrily. then the fairy smiled, and told Tom 'you only gave me half of your food, and i gave you half of your dream bike, isnt that even?'. Tom had nothing to say. he was shocked. he was speechless. then, second later, the fairy was gone. Tom felt so upset, he never knew that his tight-fisted habit is annoying. Then, with tears running down his face, tom went home, leaving his half bike behind.

somewhere in the forest, the fairy turned herself into an old witch again. she smiled and feel satisified after giving Tom a lesson.
