"The Curse of Lonliness"

Once, not to long ago, there was a little girl who wanted more than anything to have at least one friend. One day, the girl's class was playing a game. Everyone got the name of an animal. Everyone, that is, eccept for the girl. The girl was appointed as a "Swan". Now, swan's are indeed animals. But to a group of kindergardeners, they're just birds. But the girl failed to realize this. She just sat there, smiling. "A swan," she thought "Graceful and majestic. Full of beauty." A classmate called out the animals, one by one. Lions, monkeys, fish...all but the Swan-girl. She sat there in confussion. Then when the boy called out "Zoo Trip!" she shot up out of her chair, only to be pushed back in by her peers. "You're not an animal, swan, you're a bird! A stinky, smelly bird!" Everyone laughed at the poor girl's peril. With no teacher or other adult for protection, the girl ran of crying. She was the swan, the ugly, stinky swan. "Why me?!" She cried to the night "Why is it always me?!" The next day, the parents of the girl went to search for her.
They instead found a little girl's dead body. A message was nearby, saying "S.W.A.N" No one knew what that meant, and the children had forgoten the game. And thus, to this very day, the gost of that girl haunts those who had dared to say "You are a swan. An UGLY swan." She appers and says:
"Swans are beautyful."
