The orphanage.

Eighteen years later.

"Nefetari, Elizabeth. Go wash up before we have dinner."

"Yes headmistress".

Elizabeth rushed down as Nefetari followed her. After bathing, both ran downstairs for dinner. Before eating, a subject arose from the dinner table.

"Mistress, can I ask you are question?", asked Simon.

"Sure".

"where do orphans like us come from?"

"Scoff".

"Dear, don't listen to them. As you know, all of you are special."

"Did we just appear out of nowhere?".

"Yes", answered Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth!!!"

"Don't lie to Simon", said the headmistress.

"Well. One day when was cleaning up, I heard some storks chatting. I went to see them and they said they had a surprise for me. As I looked up in the sky, I saw some storks carrying seven children on their beaks."

"Do you want to know who were the seven children that were brought in by the storks?" asked Miss Mila (head mistress).

"Yes", Shouted the children.

"Well my dear children, those special little kids were you people."

"Miss Mila, why are we special?".

"I don't know. Maybe it's because you are prince and princesses of Oakwoods (referring to the orphanage)".

The children ate gleefully that afternoon knowing that they are special some way or the other. Only the elder children knew that the story wasn't true, but still wanted to make the small children happy.
