Thy Will Be Done!
The following day.
When Amber woke up, the window was still open but the bird was no longer there. It's already gone!
Two hours later.
Cornelia arrived at the room, bringing breakfast.
Amber got the tray from her Aunt and placed it on the table. "Thank you, Aunt!" she said.
"How's your sleep last night?" Cornelia asked.
"Fine..." Amber answered. She was about to tell her aunt about the white bird but changed her mind at the last minute. Besides, the bird might no longer return to her room.
"Okay, eat your breakfast now," Cornelia said.
Amber ate her meals in silence.
After she finished eating, she put the plates on the tray.
"I'll bring you to the market with me, tomorrow afternoon after lunch," Cornelia said.
Amber's eyes widened in excitement. "Really-? Are you joking, Aunt?" she asked in disbelief.
Cornelia smiled. "I'm not joking. You have to behave on the market tomorrow!" she said.
