I will tell you a sad story about a beautiful maiden and a wooden puppet.

I will tell you a sad story about a beautiful maiden and a wooden puppet. The tale starts with an old father and his beautiful small daughter. The father was a artist, he crafted all kinds of works from wood and stone, and painted all kind of pictures from sad to joyful. But destiny knew no mercy and had given this brilliant artist a terminal disease. He knew he will not last long and soon he will leave his daughter alone in the world. For tree nights and days, he spent designing a doll, human size. He crafter it from wood and gave it a human face. And somehow, only he knew how, he gave the doll a soul. The doll had no name and had no memories, it knew only what it was suppose to know – to take care of little Amanda. And so he did. He never left the child’s sight, always taking care of her, playing with her, reading to her. The father thought that even if it has no feeling and emotions, it was still his last chance. And not long after the doll proved to take good care of the child, the father died. The doll never cried for him, he didn’t even know he was gone. He only cared about Amanda. Time passed, the Doll never grew old, but the girl did. She became more beautiful than ever. He though her how to sing and she became a singer – an angel. But with her beauty and voice it did not took long until she became an actress. On stages of theatres through magazines and newspapers, her face was everywhere. But with her new career, she had to travel a lot, and her agent did not wanted the Doll to come as well because he was “a freak”. But the Doll was not offended; he did not know the word “offended”. So every time he was alone he went to look trough the picture albums up in his attic room. A room filled with her beautiful face. But one day, she came back home early. She was looking for the Doll and she did something she has never done before: got up in his room. She found him there but she also found something else – pictures of her, everywhere. She got really mad at him and scared screaming and insulting him. She did not really though he is a real human being with emotions, and getting her anger out from the stressed day using the pictures of her as an excuse was nice.
“A freak! A freak!” she screamed at him. “That’s what you are! A freak! I don’t want to live with a freak!”
And with those words she left. And when she left he shed tears... He could not live without her and worked hard to creat a new Doll, doll with her face. But once when it was done, she did not move. He didn't know how to give her life and all he could do is look at her and remember her. Few months later she had understood she has made a mistake and went back to the house. But it was too late. The house was burned to the ground and the only thing that was left was the remains of halfburned doll parts.
She spened the rainy day in the garden she infront of the house which was not harmed by the fire, to cry for the mistake. Time passed and healed the pain from that dreadful night, but scares from the mistake were left in her heart. She spend her days alone to remember the time she spend with her favourite doll until the day she died...

We humans get attached to the dolls we have, but we never think that they also get attached to us...

THE END.

    That was simply breathtaking. Your combination of words and screenies, both telling the story in their own way, created a work of art that you should be proud of.
