Hearing her singing, Amelia was instantly intoxicated. It was a voice that could hit the heart directly. She had no fear or doubt anymore. It was a clean, sweet voice she had never heard before. Amanda’s voice was heard once and would never be forgotten.
“Amanda, I think you are very special! Although you can’t have your own appearance, you have a different way to be special. It is your voice. It is special and unique, which makes you stand out from everyone else,” said Amelia very kindly and sincerely. Her words also hit Amanda’s heart. Amanda froze at the window in the mirror for a long time, and then said slowly, “Thank you! What’s your name, little girl?”
“Sorry, I was a little scared just now. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Amelia,” she said friendly.
“Amelia, you are also a very special girl because of your heart. You always look at the world from your heart. You’re right. Everyone can be unique in their own way. I don’t need to be sad at all. I don’t want to be alone in my room anymore, no matter how beautiful it is. I want the outside world to know how special I am, no matter my shortcomings or advantages. I also want to have many special friends like you,” the more Amanda spoke, the more excited and joyful she became. She sang again.
“Oh, the world l live in!
There are! There are!
Green, colorful flowers,
Red yellow sun,
Waterfalls made of glitter and…
The sun, the sun so bright,
Flowing clouds, soft wind,
Waterfall oh waterfall,
How special the world is Ohhhh!”
“You sing like a beautiful canary!” Amelia couldn’t help clapping her hands.
“Oh, thank you, Amelia! It is very kind for you to help me! Without your help, I almost forgot the outside world. I’m going to travel around the world with my songs. Thank you so much!” In the mirror, two Amelia hugged each other.
“Please say goodbye to Mr. Winston for me. This is the mirror he has always wanted. Please give it to him,” Amanda said and took out a small dressing mirror with a silver frame from behind her.
“See you, Amelia!” The oak leaf mirror on the wall disappeared, and so did Amanda. The small dressing mirror was left on the floor.
When Amelia finished cleaning and walked out of the room, she met Winston head-on. He had just finished lunch with Princess Victoria and brought her back to her room.
