The Girl Who Escaped From Home

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who lived in a very, very big house. And she was the daughter of a very, very rich family. And she was the only daughter. But her mommy and daddy were very, very cruel and very, very mean. She lived in one of the biggest houses in the town, but she felt like she wanted to escape. And that's exactly what she tried to do.
One night, when mommy and daddy were asleep, she sneaked out from underneath a very heavy blanket. And she put on some warm clothes so she can go out in the night. Now, did I tell you that this story was about 200 years ago when there was no electricity and the girl had to find some candles and some matches so that she could find a way outside?

Well, she found the candles and she found the matches.

She took a deep breath, put the candles in a pocket, and tiptoe down the steps.

It was very quiet. But when she lit the match, and she put the candle on and put it in the lens Blanton she was able to see. The light shone the path down all the way to the road.
