"Maria, Mark, and Jessie, as you all know your caring mother has passed away. So...I have decided to marry a girl named Elizabeth. She gave me a job and I really like her."
Maria was heartbroken. Her mother had died only a week ago and her father was planning to marry a girl named Elizabeth already? Jessie,even though she was very young,understood and she didn't like it a bit.
"No!"she said.
Dad was amazed that no was Jessie's first word. Then Dad said,
"Come in."
He opened the door and there was the girl that Dad loved,Elizabeth. "Okay kids. Our marriage is next week. "Me and Elizabeth are going out to buy the stuff." So off he went with Elizabeth. Maria, Mark, and Jessie had a meeting. They agreed that the marriage couldn't happen. They packed their toothbrushes, clothes, and Maria packed her mother's last necklace.
