 CAP O' RUSHES

​** My story takes place in Ireland. Cap O' Rushes starts of when her father asks her and her sisters how much they love him. Cap o' rushes sister say that they love him dearly but when he asks Cap O' Rushes how much SHE loves him she says "More than fresh meat, love salt" her father was so mad he kicked Her put of the house. As she was walking she found a bush and made a cap out of them. After she was finished she found a huge house, she asked if they needed a maid, at first they said "No" but in the end Cap O' rushes became a maid and made many new friends. One night after all the chores the other maids invited her to come with them to the Headmasters Ball. She said that she was too tired to go, so they went without her. But after they left Cap O' Rushes took off her maid clothes and put on a beautiful dress and went to the party hoping no one would see her. When she got to the ball she was the best dressed woman, as soon as the headmaster's son saw Cap O' Rushes he fell in love with her. He loved her so much he wouldn’t dance with anyone else at the party. Before it was over she left. When the maids got home they told Cap O' Rushes about a "Pretty Lady" at the dace. That night the ball was still going on and the maids asked again if Cap O' rushes wanted to come. She again said no but went, after they left, she again got dressed and went to the dance. At the dance the master’s son danced with no one else because he loved Cap O’ rushes so much. He never took his eyes off of her. But right before the dance ended she left and went home. As soon as the maids got back she pretended to be sleeping and that morning the maids again said the pretty lady was at the dance that night and that the master’s son loved her even more and that she was even more beautiful the kitchen and asked the cook if she could make the gruel. The Cook said she could. And before it was finished she put the ring in it before the cook could bring it up. The Son drank it until he saw the ring. He was stunned and she to go fetch the cook. The cook said that she didn’t make it and then got Cap O’ Rushes. Cap O’ Rushes came to the man’s room and the man asked if she made his gruel and she said yes. Then he asked were she got the ring and she said “from him who gave it to me” Then the son realized it was Cap O’ Rushes and they got married… but before the dinner Cap O’ Rushes asked the cook to prepare the meat with any salt..
