Long ago in a meadow lived a husband and wife. They owned a farm ,so they had to work hard everyday. The husband and the wife had 7 daughters. The youngest was more beautiful than aphrodite herself. Her sisters became very jealous of her beauty and her kindness to everyone. The six sisters agreed, and went to an old witch that was known for her terrible curses. The witch agreed to anything that would hurt someone.
The witch had made a beautiful golden dress with silver designs stitched into it. The Witch warned the sisters. “ Beware, anyone who wears it shall be punished.”The oldest sister loved it so much that she would put it on everyday, but she did not let it stay on for long because she knew very well that it was cursed. One night the oldest sister put the dress on and decided to keep it on for the night. She thought that if the dress hasn’t cursed her yet then it probably doesn’t work. As soon as she fell asleep the dress tightened just bit without her noticing. The next morning she could not take off the dress. She tried everything, but nothing worked. The next day the dress got tighter, so tight she could barely breath. That night while she was sleeping the dress became so tight that she couldn't even scream. She moved back and forth until her sisters woke up. The sisters tried knifes, swords, daggers, and acid but nothing worked. The oldest sister had died.
The youngest sister (That the dress was made for) went to the witch begging her to bring back her sister. The witch said to give back a life someone has to lose theirs. The youngest sister went home and put on the dress. She had three days left to live. Her sisters were afraid that she find out their plan, but she already did. On the third day the youngest sister died. On that day she also brought back her oldest sister. The sisters understood their jealousy has consequences.
