The Last Dance

The Last Dance

In the middle of the forest lay a small town named Noisy, where a young couple named Joseph and Joslynn lived. This couple had met when they were only five and had become inseparable ever since. The love they had for each other was greater than any other worldly feeling. As they grew older and more mature they started feeling like something was missing in their relationship. Their relationship had advanced to the point where they needed to be together night and day. One morning as Joseph walked through the forest to get to Joslynn's wooden cabin, he stopped to reflect. Joseph had realized that he wanted to be with Joslynn for the rest of his life; he wasn't going to let another day go by without her knowing it. He felt an immense joy inside him and ran as fast as he could! "I am on my way to my future wife's cabin!" he yelled from the top of his lungs as he raced through the forest. He got to her cabin and knocked on the wooden door incessantly. Joslynn ran to open the door. "My love it is you!" she implied excitedly. Joseph was out of breath but a big smile illuminated his face. He wrapped his arms around her, and then he kneeled and said "My dearest love, I wish that from this day on and for the rest of our lives, we be together. Marry me my one and only love!" he exclaimed. Joslynn threw herself to him in a sign of agreement; she was speechless. Joseph didn't have a ring or money to buy one. He looked up, down and all over their surroundings to see what could be useful. As he looked at an oak tree, he couldn't believe his eyes, a set of wooden bright loops were perfectly fitted in the stem of a leaf. He then knew that some kind of power from above had destined for them to get married. He ran toward the tree and pulled the leaf, the loops fell to his hand. He ran back to Joslynn and showed her the loops. She was so amazed and couldn't believe what had happened. She said, "This is the seed that our love grew and I will do my part in planting more." Joseph replied, "My love, I am yours forever." They slided the loops into each other's fingers and on that day united forever.

Out of the love seeds that Joseph and Joslynn planted, along came three beautiful triplets. First to be born was Joanna, then Joelle and finally came Joy. Their parents didn't have a favorite and treated them all with equal love. Joseph and Joslynn had taught them well, the girls turned out just like them, always together wherever or whatever they did.

One cold night while the winds blew cold currents into Joseph and Joslynn's bedroom, they got woken up by the chilled wind. They went to check on the girl's bedroom and saw them curled up in one bed shivering. The girls were wide awake and couldn't sleep because it was too cold. Joseph told them to stay put and walked toward the chimney so he could light it, but there was no wooden logs to start the heat. He told the girls to stay in the cabin and went to his closet to put on a coat. Joslynn went behind him and said in a whiny tone, "Don't think you're going out there yourself, I'm going with you." Joseph replied, "Alright, just tell the girls to stay put in their room." She put on a coat and went to say goodbye to the girls. Joseph got his axe, and they both went to the woods. As they were on their way they found and oak tree that looked old and putrid, Joseph knew it would make perfect fire wood so he started cutting with his axe. After three strikes
