Prompt 6: Kittens

I tried myself at the lovely fairytale-style. It's actually pretty hard but also fun. I hope it's clear which three sisters I'm talking about here.:)

6. Kittens

Once upon a time there lived three sisters. All were exceptionally fair, yet very different in their appearances. The first had hair as black as ebony and haughty, heavily lidded eyes. The second had hair as pale as snow and eyes, cold as the moon. The third had hair as brown as a doe and the same warm eyes. They had everything they could wish for, yet they seldom were satisfied. Their house was built of marble, their clothes were made of silk and they drank and ate from cups and plates made of gold.

Christmas was nearing and each sister had wished for something equally impossible. The eldest sister wanted a crystal-palace for her dolls, the middle sister a pair of glass slippers and the youngest a golden ball.

Their parents decided to give each sister the same, simple gift, lest they would envy each other. And so it came that the three sisters looked upon a pair of curious eyes when they opened their gifts under the Christmas tree, for they had all received a little kitten. Each resembled its new mistress: one was black as night, one was bright as day, and one was brown as earth.

The sisters were disappointed not to have their original wish fulfilled, yet they tried to find joy in their gifts.

The first sister put a purple ribbon around her kitten´s neck and placed it in a golden basket. She left it there and soon forgot about it, playing with her toys instead and commanding the house-elves.

The second sister put a blue ribbon around her kitten´s neck and gave it a bowl of milk. She watched the kitten drink eagerly, but was called away by her elder sister. When she returned the kitten had gone; she took it ill and build a snowman instead.

The third sister put a green ribbon around her kitten´s neck and caressed it. After that she gave it milk and then she placed it in a basket to sleep. The next day she did just the same.

The brown kitten told its siblings about her new mistress and soon the black and the white kitten came to play with the third sister. She treated each little kitten the same and cared well for all of them.

You can have the kitties in return for a review :3
