Once upon a time, there was __________. Every day,__________. One day,__________. Because of that, __________. Because of that, __________. Until finally, __________.
These are my iterations.
Big Big World

Once upon a time, there was a big, big girl living in a big, big world. Every day, tears would fall from her eyes in silence and in secret from her lonely heart. Because of that, her tears formed a river in the path of her travels to find someone or something to take the pain away. Because of that, she met people and saw places that allowed her to be vulnerable while the river she was creating slowly dried up. Until finally, the big, big girl was just a girl in a big, big, but, not lonely world.
