A Glass of Cold Water

Everybody calls me young, beautiful, wonderful. Am I? Look at my hair, my lips, my red rosy cheeks and a pair of blinkering eyes.
I remember, somebody says that I look like my mother. But that when she was young.

Now, I am much lovelier than she is. I'm a mortal Venus. Oops! What time is it? I must get ready for the party!

"Please child, try to get me a glass of cold water!"

At the party, I danced and danced the whole night.
You see, I can't leave the party at once. I have to danced with everybody who proposed to me. At last, the party is over. I'm very tired. Very, very tired.

"Mama, I'm home! It's very quiet. "Mama, I'm home!" Nobody answers.

Oh, God, just for the glass of cold water! Mama! Mama! Oh,
