Once upon a time, long ago there was a kingdom called Cordelia. If you ever went there, you wouldn't believe how extremely clean it is. There werenˇ¦t any spider webs in the corner. Walking down the street, neither a trash nor a tiny little dust was to be seen. It was a kingdom full of euphoria. Every person is always cheerful and happy. No worries. No violence. And there wasn't any noxious smell in the bathrooms nor trash cans. It was just dizzily sweet fragrances full of everywhere.
One day, there was a little witch who came from a squalid island came to Cordelia. She has many dirty habits like throwing trashes everywhere she went, without washing her hands when came out of the restroom... But she is a genius of inventing new useful things and a liberal person. She was shock and surprise at how clean the kingdom is so she decided to relinquish her smelly squalid island and stayed in Cordelia. But after few days she moved in her new home, in and out of her house, there were trashes and stains and horrible smells everywhere. And her neighbors are mad. It totally ruins the beautiful scenery. People told her, "You should feel scandalous about yourself of making your house absolutely ungraceful." All the neighbors are implicitly unanimous about kicking her out of the kingdom. The little witch was very sad. She begged and begged to them not to kick her out but it was no use. Suddenly, she got an idea. She decided to invent a special kind of beverage that will help her giving up the bad habits. She made it with her intelligent spells and also have to say all kinds of wired grammars in three days to make it work.
She drank it everyday and gradually she gave up her bad habits. And everybody likes her. Her neighbors told her in a very dignified way of speaking, "I will cover the past with mantle of oblivion." She also brings a big renovation to Cordelia with great inventions of hers. That made Cordelia even more happy and wonderful! The End.
