Notes on The True Bride (cont.)
(Bride; Image from Pixabay)
- The chief's son saw a girl washing clothes and admired her looks and dress; after telling his father, his father told him to go get a second look at the girl to make sure he didn't change his mind when he saw her again.
- When the son went back to talk to the girl, she spat out gold nuggets while she was talking
- He went to tell his father this, and his father couldn't believe it so he went to see for himself
- Then, after the father saw the same thing, he told the boy to go marry that girl because of how valuable she was
- They had a wedding and the bride spat gold for all the guests so that they could take home welcome presents. Everyone loved the bride
- The bride soon got pregnant, and when the baby was coming, her husband was away for a meeting, so her stepmom and half-sister were in charge of helping deliver the baby
- When the bride gave birth, her step mom cut a hole in the floor and had the baby fall in it, then covered the hole, then put a cat there and convinced the bride she had given birth to a cat
- The bride found this very odd, which the step-mom then assured her that "odd people have odd children"
- So the bride raised this cat
- The husband didn't say anything about the cat baby, he just thought it was odd
- The wife then got pregnant again, and this time the step-mom did the same thing except instead of a cat it was a snake
- Then, the husband returned and the step-mom told him he should kill his wife because she was giving birth to such off things
- The town held a meeting and they all agreed
- The husband then killed his wife
- I think this story would come to life more with more dialogue
- Also, I would like to do a plot twist on the ending, such as the husband killing the daughter and the step-mom for making his wife go through this and finding their actual children
