Miss Minchin

Remember Miss Minchin in that story "The little Princess"

She died in the cold, but before she did she finally admitted her mistakes. She sent a prayer, doubtful if God will ever forgive her cruelty. She asked for forgiveness. And she was whisked away into a grand hall of glowing and pulsing jewels, she saw that at the end of the hall was a large gate. She felt light like she was weightless, she felt at peace. Then a powerful voice told her.

"Because of your sincere apology, you are forgiven. But, because you haven't forgiven yourself. Amelia, I hereby task you to help a thousand multiplied by a thousand troubled and helpless girls. Complete this task, and you shall be welcomed back to heaven my daughter........"

She felt her being pulled back into confinement. She opened her eyes, she was still in the corner, she was still wearing the same threadbare clothes, but she felt no chill. The gnawing hunger was gone. And she hears and sees clearly, she stood up. And caught her reflection at the shop's window. She was back to her younger self, her younger and much kinder self.

She sent a prayer of thanks and an plea for help, for God to guide her to what she must do next...
