Money, crowns, love, all of that I was robbed in one night by my sister.
2
How did this happen and how did it end?
3
Let's take a look at it.
4
In the far away fairyland where many mystical creatures lived under
5
the rule of the royal spirits there are two beautiful talented spirit princess sisters named Jenna and Bonnie.
6
However, Bonnie is a shy,
7
gentle ice princess and always thinks that using words is the most peaceful way to find common ground between the two sides.
8
Then, Jenna is a cunning,
9
unruly older sister who possesses the power to control plants and often resolves conflicts with her fists.
10
Recently Jenna has felt that a quiet girl like Bonnie befriended to the fox magician Felix,
11
who was closest to her parents,
12
so she had a little suspicion.
13
Especially as their parents grew older and weaker and began to make wills,
14
the two became more intimately.
15
By the time their parents passed away,
16
Jenna, who had supposed to assume the throne as her eldest child,
17
was stunned to hear the wills.
18
Bonnie will become queen and the highest ranking person,
19
knowing where the world gems hidden a treasure that maintains the light and is the millennial elixir of our kingdom.
20
Bony is a gentle person,
21
easily swayed by other people's thoughts.
22
So how can she be the queen?
23
Surely something must have gone wrong.
24
Or someone has changed its wills!
25
Like the first person to hold it!
26
This is...
27
Jenna, please calm down and deal with this!
28
Besides, this is the handwriting of the parents.
29
There can be no mistake.
30
Although I understand you always expected to become queen,
31
but surely your parents have a reason for making this decision
32
So please accept the truth and support me in my journey Jenna thought there must still be many secrets hidden,
33
but in the face of the crowd's resistance she left However from that day on Bonnie visited Jenna every day,
34
but Jenna only sold and messed up in the room Go away!
35
Don't get too close to me when you're the one who stole everything from me!
36
Ah!
37
Jenna, what's wrong with you?
38
Let me in to help you bandage.
39
I know you're angry right now,
40
but please don't hurt yourself.
41
If you don't want me here, I'm leaving.
42
I know you're angry right now,
43
but please don't hurt yourself.
44
If you don't want me here, then I'll leave.
45
After Bonnie left, Jenna's tears flowed.
46
Jenna realized that Bonnie was still the one who was worried,
47
asked after her at these times.
48
Not only that, and every letter Bonnie sent to Jenna was a thank note to her sister,
49
because Jenna was the motivation that helped her become confident and know how to communicate with people.
50
As it turns out, even though I was always overbearing towards Bonnie,
51
Bonnie was always there for me and cared for me.
52
And she has always tried to change for the better.
53
Maybe so.
54
That's why the parents decided to make Boney Queen.
55
Finally, after a few days of thinking,
56
Jenna thought about it and decided to make up with Bonnie.
57
As Jenna neared Bonnie's place,
58
she saw her sister going somewhere at night, so Jenna followed curiously.
59
Upon arrival, Jenna discovers that Bonnie is quietly going to the hiding place of the Royal Gem
60
and sets out to take it away.
61
Being a
62
cunning person, when Jenna saw Bonnie's cold reaction to her injury,
63
she realized that the person in front of her was not her sister.
64
However, that person also quickly attacked Jenna and turned into the Fox magician, Felix.
65
I didn't expect Princess Jenna to find out that I masqueraded as Bonnie so quickly.
66
Unlikely, your powers won't stop me from taking the treasure anywhere.
67
Where⦠where is Bonnie?
68
And how long has the royal family been protecting your family?
69
But why are you doing this?
70
Bonnie is safe in this castle.
71
She knew nothing of what I have done.
72
Besides, I have something difficult to talk about,
73
so I have to take advantage of people's trust and love to do so.
74
Please, Princess Jenna, forgive me.
75
Jenna didn't understand what Felix was implying,
76
but she still tried to stop Felix.
77
Unfortunately, Felix's blow just now left her injured and unable to fully recover her strength.
78
Felix was able to leave when suddenly the ground shook and Bonnie appeared.
79
It turned out that Bonnie felt that Felix had always asked her where the treasure was,
80
but Bonnie followed the rules and said nothing.
81
If I had known you wouldn't help me,
82
I wouldn't have bothered to change your name on the wills.
83
What do you mean?
84
And then Bonnie got the previous story that when Felix received the wills,
85
he knew that if both sisters ascended the throne,
86
so he changed the characters written on it to the name of Bonnie,
87
the Gentle, trusting the younger sister to take the throne.
88
Upon learning of this, Bonnie insisted on going to Jenna to tell her the whole thing,
89
so Felix stole the map,
90
locked her up with his magic, and left.
91
Turn your head to the shore and return the gem to us!
92
I-I-I can't!
93
Please, don't corner me!
94
Or I won't back down!
95
Afterwards, Felix tried to use magic to scare Jenna's sisters,
96
but he accidentally caused the pieces of ice to shoot hard at them.
97
Jenna hastily parried Bonnie's spell and was severely injured.
98
At that moment, Felix's sick sister,
99
hearing a loud noise, also came to watch and persuaded Felix to stop.
100
It turned out that because Felix wanted to save the life of his seriously ill sister,
101
as well as this was a precious item of the kingdom,
102
it couldn't be said to be given.
103
So reluctantly, Felix betrays the royal family and steals the jewel to save his sister.
104
However, Bonnie saw Jenna injured,
105
so she also wanted to retrieve the gem to save her sister.
106
Strangely, she was stopped by Jenna.
107
Bonnie, it is true that this gem is very precious.
108
Of course, I had been as selfish as I was before.
109
I would never have allowed it to be used by anyone,
110
for a good cause or not.
111
However, thanks to Boney, I understand how close brother and sister love is.
112
How you can sacrifice for each other.
113
Therefore, I accept to give this gem to you to save your sister.
114
But what about you?
115
I want to be with you forever.
116
Boney, although I won't be by your side on this next journey,
117
I'm glad to see you grow up to be what you are.
118
So be a good queen and use this gem to save Felix, sister.
119
Afterwards, Bonnie handed the gem to Felix to save his sister.
120
In the end, Felix's sister was also saved,
121
but Jenna gradually disappeared in Bonnie's arms.
122
Suddenly, a light from the sky fell on Jenna and turned her into a small spirit ball.
123
It turns out that because of Jenna's sacrifice and growth,
124
her parents in heaven helped her to live again in a different form so that the sisters could be reunited.
125
Felix was so distressed by his wrongdoing that he broke up with Bonnie
126
and promised to devote himself to making the kingdom a better man.
127
After that, Jenna's little spirit ball continued to accompany Bonnie in the difficult roads.
128
Oh, the giant wolf wants to swallow the little girl and those raved gods?
129
What's happening?
130
Let's follow WoWa fairy tales with today's story, little kids.
131
Once upon a time in a beautiful kingdom called Lenoman,
132
there lived a wealthy and talented king.
133
His wife passed away prematurely,
134
and he had to raise his daughter, Scatty Princess, by himself.
135
Although being a talented king,
136
a good father who loved his daughter, Lino was too egoistic.
137
One time when Odin wandered around the earth,
138
he forgot his spear there.
139
Seeing that, King Lino immediately brought it home.
140
Ha ha ha ha ha ha,
141
with the God spear and the wealth in my hand,
142
my prosperity may be more than the gods.
143
Those words reach Odin, the supreme god, making him really angry.
144
You are a human, but you dare to insult the gods?
145
Your arrogance deserve to be punished.
146
I will turn you into a stone statue for a hundred years.
147
Let's see whether you will still be arrogant or not.
148
My great Odin!
149
I know my father was so wrong when he arrogantly insulted you,
150
but please forgive him.
151
He's of an age.
152
I can take the punishment for him.
153
I will give up my princess status.
154
I voluntarily go to Asgard to be your slave.
155
I just want to ask you for forgiving my father this time.
156
I can see you are a dutiful daughter.
157
I will give him a chance,
158
but there is a lot of work on Asgard Mount
159
and they're really heavy can you make it yes I will try my best to atone for my father's sins
160
Odin agreed to bring scatty to Asgard from that moment a hard
161
and difficult journey was opened up before the little princess scatty followed Odin to the top of Asgard
162
and started her works she had to work over from dusk till dawn,
163
even the hardest work.
164
Moreover, some of the goddesses also whispered to gossip about her.
165
Once she was carrying the water jar,
166
suddenly a goddess tripped her.
167
She lost her balance and fell forward.
168
Luckily, Nord, the goddess wind and sea, timely hatched her.
169
He held Skadi on his lap.
170
They looked at each other passionately.
171
Skadi was astonished for the wild,
172
then shyly pushed him out.
173
Thank you!
174
Working for a long time,
175
Skadi really missed her home.
176
My great Odin, I've been away for so long.
177
My father is weak and old.
178
Could you please have mercy on me and allow me to visit home?
179
Yes, but you can live for just one day.
180
Thank you so much.
181
I promise to come back here on time.
182
After coming back and making sure that her father and the people were all safe,
183
Skadi quickly went back to the foot of the Asgard for Heimdall to bring her back and continue her work.
184
On the way, while crossing a forest,
185
she accidentally heard a group of giants discussing about the plan of attacking Asgard.
186
Scatty hid and waited for the giants to leave.
187
Then she ran fast to the foot of the mountain.
188
After reaching the top, Scatty immediately told Odin about what she had seen.
189
Thanks to Scatty's warning, Odin could set up everything to prepare and quickly defeated the giants.
190
Scotty, thank you so much.
191
Your information saved Asgord from a great danger.
192
To thank you, I want to grant you a love affair.
193
By the way, there are so many gods of Asgord who are still single.
194
Just choose a guy who makes you feel that he will bring you happiness.
195
I...
196
I...
197
If you are still confused,
198
I have a good way for you to do it.
199
Odin came up with a plan.
200
He hid Skadi along with other two goddesses.
201
Only their hands were revealed.
202
The gods who willingly chose the hand of Skadi would become her husband.
203
Nord voluntarily took the first turn.
204
And he was able to choose Skadi's hand.
205
From that moment, they became spouses.
206
Skadi didn't have to work hard anymore.
207
She moved to the palace of the God of Wind and the Sea,
208
enjoyed a happy life.
209
However, she still felt guilty because she had just met Nord for a short time.
210
She didn't really love him.
211
Nord also realized that, so he treated her more gently.
212
His gentle manliness His happiness gradually made her love him.
213
Hmm...
214
Nord, winter came.
215
The snow outside became thicker.
216
I used to love skiing while I was with my father before.
217
Do you like to go skiing with me?
218
Hmm...
219
Of course.
220
Let's go.
221
They happily skied together and shared joyful moments,
222
but they didn't know that from the far away island.
223
The giants were really bitter for losing the fight.
224
They discussed to go on the island to knock out the little guarding god,
225
rescued the giant wolf Fenrir to make a plan for coming back to attack the gods.
226
At that time, Skaddy and Nord were so happy together.
227
Nord even took a gilded bow to give Skaddy.
228
Skaddy, this is a magical bow.
229
A treasure of my mother.
230
She told me that I could only give it to the one I love the most.
231
And it's you.
232
From now on, this bow will always be by your side to protect you.
233
Like me.
234
Sadly, their happiness didn't last for so long.
235
Then the giants were back.
236
This time they brought a massive army and also the ferocious giant wolf Fenrir.
237
Because the surprising attack, the god could prepare nothing.
238
They just went out with their pure nature and power to fight against the giants and the world.
239
Skadi, I have to go now.
240
Asgard is in danger.
241
Remember to stay here.
242
You're not allowed to go anywhere.
243
No, I cannot let you go alone.
244
Let me go with you.
245
Come on, listen to me.
246
My happiest thing is your safety.
247
Right after that, Nord went out to fight.
248
Scotty was so worried that she followed her husband.
249
The fight was really fierce.
250
Both sides reserved the balance.
251
Nord bravely went forward in the fight with the giant wolf and gradually got exhausted.
252
Taking the chance, the wolf knocked him out far away,
253
then moved forward to swallow the god.
254
Right at that moment, Skadi appeared.
255
She used a black wooden bar from the roadside to slide fast on the snow to the wolf
256
and threw a spear to it.
257
However, the spear was too small to make it feel and it came.
258
It smirked and came closer to me.
259
Skadi was so panicked that she rushed there to hug her husband so tight to cover him.
260
Suddenly, a light appeared and knocked the wolf out.
261
The bow slowly flew up and floated before her eyes.
262
Skadi immediately realized that the bow could defeat the wolf,
263
so she held it tight and shot at the wolf, making it collapse.
264
The Nord controlled water and locked the wolf inside a glow.
265
After defeating the giants, the gods also came there to help them.
266
They imprisoned the wolf and the giants with high security,
267
not allowing them to escape anymore.
268
Nord, I know it's too late,
269
but I still have to say I love you.
270
I want to be with you for the rest of my life.
271
I've been waiting for this for so long.
272
I also love you with all my heart, my beautiful scatty.
273
My brave Skadi, you saved Escarp once again.
274
To return the favor, I granted you the title of Hunting and Winter Goddess with Immortality.
275
From now on, you and Nord can live happily together forever.
276
Skadi and Nord looked at each other happily.
277
They hugged so tight and shared a true love.
278
From that moment, they lived happily together forever after.

Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency β making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
