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.
