Fanny was a
sturdy and normal girl. Although she worked in a farm, she dreamed that she
would marry a prince after her fairy godmother meeting her one day. When she
heard that the mayor was going to give a ball, she wore her best dress and hat
in spite of tease from other girls. While she was waiting her fairy godmother
in the garden, Heber got close to Fanny. In the dialog with Heber, Heber knew
that Fanny’s dream. Although the fairy godmother did not appear, Heber proposed
to Fanny. Fanny agreed. After Fanny got married, she worked in the farm as usual
and still lived an ordinary but satisfying life with her husband, Heber. After
Fanny had three kids, she met her late fairy godmother one night. The godmother
asked whether Fanny wanted to go the ball with beautiful dress, but Fanny
refused her. She realized that Heber, who gave her stable life, was her fairy
godmother.

This is the first sentence of this book, and gives us some important
information, such as time, place, and the name of main character.
l Narrative point of view: omniscient narrator.
This story depicts the characters from omniscient narrator. We all
know what Fanny’s thought and Heber’s thoughts. For example, Heber liked Fanny
in the story.
l Plot: dramatic plot.
The conflict is that Heber proposed to Fanny. The raising action is
the days when Fanny and Heber lived together. The climax is when the fairy
godmother showed up. The denouement and the end is almost the same one- Fanny
chose to go back to her family.
As for girls, we
usually read the fairy tales with a wonderful dream- the fairy godmother would
appear and help girl dressed well so that girls can marry princes, and so did Fanny.
However, her dream did not realize because she married Heber. Heber let her
know that she could do what a princess cannot do. What’s more, Fanny found that
Heber did not kiss her hand, but he used his hand to relax Fanny. Heber did not
have a dozen of carriage, but he had a small and sweet family. Fanny still had
to do stitch of work, but Heber was telling funny stories as she did stitch. At
the end of the story, the picture which shows that Fanny looked out from her
house is similar to the one which Fanny was waiting for her fairy godmother. These
two pictures impressed me a lot because they all waited for the fairy godmother.
This time, Fanny did not need her godmother even if the godmother could give
her a dream life. She chose going back to her home.
