The Silent Puppet

Once upon a time, there was a a puppet maker who made a lot of puppets. He inherited the skill of making puppet from his father. He sold his puppets at the market in the town. He never had a family member but his father.
One day, the puppet maker made a puppet as big as a boy. He really love the puppet. But he didn't know what name he would give to the puppet. So he left the puppet together with other puppets.
That night, a fairy come into the store room where the puppets were kept. She had a beautiful face with a white dress, a pair of nice wings and a magic stick in her right hand.
"Dear puppets, you can ask anything from me." she said.
An ugly puppet appeared and made a wish.
"I want to become an idol to the girls and make me beautiful." So the fairy fulfilled it's wish and the puppet become beautiful and it felt so happy. "From now, I name you Barbie." The fairy the put Barbie into the box and until now, Barbie is so popular among little girls.
An animal puppet rush from the crowd. It yelled. "TV! I want to have a TV show!"
A yellow bear puppet pushed the other puppets to see the fairy. It begged to to the fairy it's friends; tiger, donkey and some other friends wanted to have a TV show. So the fairy swish her magic stick and the yellow puppet and its friends disappeared and now is on the Television most adorable ccartoon, Winnie The Pooh.
So all night, the fairy made all wishes from all puppets became true except one puppet. The puppet that the puppet make loved so much.
"Tell me my dear puppet, what is your wish? i will fulfill your wish." Te silent puppet kept silent. It never moved nor speak. The fairy asked the puppet again and again until she reached her word. "i guess you want to stay as you are." and the fairy left the store room and the silent puppet had no regret.
Next morning, the puppet maker was so shocked to see all his hardwork was gone. only his big puppet was left alone there. "You poor little boy. You were left alone here." said the puppet maker. He took the puppet into his wagon and headed to the town.
At the market, the puppet maker stopped his wagon and took out his puppet. "YEAR END SALE! LAST PUPPET THIS YEAR! AS CHEAP AS YOU CAN AFFORD!"
So the puppet was sold with a cheap price and it had been toyed, kicked and slammed by the children over and over until it has no use anymore. It felt regret because it kept silent in the first line and faced its life end in the burning fire. Stupid puppet.
