Rough-Face Girl

Grade 2, Cashman Elementary School, Amesbury, Massachusetts


On lake Ontario there was a beautiful wigwam painted with designs of animals. It was made out of buckskin, and in it lived the Invisible Being.

The Rough-Face Girl had charred hair and burnt skin, and wore awful clothes because her mean sisters made her do all the work. The father of the Rough-Face girl also had two cruel daughters. The Rough-Face Girl and the cruel sisters wanted to enter the wigwam of the Invisible Being to see if they could marry him. The Rough-Face Girl had courage. The Rough-Face Girl didn’t care what she looked like; she wanted to marry the Invisible Being.

The Invisible Being’s sister had questions for the sisters that would prove they could see him. She wanted to know if they had ever seen the Invisible Being. The mean sisters were jealous when they found out their sister had passed the test. The Invisible Being’s sister knew right away the Rough-Face Girl was kind.

When the Rough-Face girl swam in Lake Ontario she turned beautiful. The Rough-Face Girl and the Invisible Being prepared to get married. The Rough-Face Girl was given a beautiful necklace to wear. The Invisible Being loved the Rough-Face Girl at once. She was now pretty. She no longer had an ugly face. The next time she walked through the village nobody would laugh at her.

The Rough-Face Girl had answered all the questions correctly. She knew the Invisible Being’s bow was made from a rainbow. She saw his face at sunset. Unlike their sister, the mean sisters didn’t tell the truth, and were banished to their wigwam.

The Rough-Face Girl got to sit in the wife’s seat in the Invisible Being’s wigwam. The Rough-Face Girl was excited to marry the Invisible Being. They will live happily ever after for many years.

The Invisible Being was so happy with his new wife he shot his bow in the air and it zigzagged off into the heavens.
