“Hi! John.” Mary ran towards me with a rare bright smile on her face, saying, “Im gonna have a dance performance tonight. I hope youll come. Here is the ticket. Dont forget!” She left in a hurry, disappearing in the throngs of people quickly.
“What?! What performance? Dance? Is that credible?” I asked myself. Mary was not that kind of girl. She was a quite ordinary one. I had never seen her put on make-up or wearing attractive clothes, moreover, she always wore her big blackframe glasses, for she did not know how to dress up indeed. What a terrible thing, especially for a plain girl!
“I should go to, I must go to. Thats a miracle!” I thought.
I arrived at the hall with the ticket, and found my seat. Her performance was the seventh one. I knew I would suffer from a hard time before her turn, for I had no sense of art, but her performance was worthy of watching, no matter how long I would wait for it.
Time went slowly, I struggled with myself not to fall asleep.
“Lets welcome the next exciting dance—Latin!”Applause filled the hall at once.
I opened my eyes as large as possible, fearing to lose anything. Wearing a golden and shining skirt, Mary appeared on the glorious stage. Her dress went well with the brilliant lights. Such a scene seemed to be a mermaiden showing up under the glittering sunshine, meanwhile, I could feel all the audience in the hall focus their eyes on her and it was also hard for me to remove my sights from her. She was so beautiful: her stature was slim; her long golden hair lay back in curls over her delicate ears. Dancing with a charming smile, she was fully absorbed in the Latin music. At this moment, she looked like a pretty butterfly flying on the splendid stage…I could hardly believe my eyes.
After the performance ended, I waited for her at the gate.
“Hi!” She stood in front of me with a bag and her crystal high-heeled shoes in her hands, and dressed as she used to be, but the make-up could still be seen.
“How do you feel?” There was even the slightest tired expression appeared on her face.
“Fantastic!” I answered.
“Haha. I knew it would be.” She could not conceal her excitement, laughing like a child.
“May I lend a hand?”
“Thank you!” She handed her crystal shoes to me which were shining in the wonderful starry night; in the mean time, I realized that every girl has a pair of special shoes which are like the crystal shoes of Cinderella.
“嗨!約翰?!爆旣愊蛭遗軄恚樕蠋е币姷男θ?,對我說:“今晚我有一場舞蹈表演,希望你能來。這是門票??蓜e忘了啊!”說完她就匆忙離開了,很快消失在人群中。
“什么?!什么表演?舞蹈?這可信嗎?”我問我自己。瑪麗不是那種女孩。她是一個很普通的女生。我從未見過她化妝或者穿漂亮的衣服,而且她總是戴著那副大大的黑框眼鏡,因為她真的不知道該怎么打扮自己。這真是一件糟糕的事情,尤其是對于一個相貌平平的女生來說!
“我應(yīng)該去,我必須去。這是一個奇跡!”我想。
我拿著票走進(jìn)演出大廳,找到我的位子坐下來。她的表演排在第七位。我知道在輪到她之前,我得忍受一段艱辛的時光,因為我完全沒有藝術(shù)細(xì)胞。但無論等多久,她的表演都值得一看。
時間過得很慢,我努力不讓自己睡著。
“讓我們歡迎下一場精彩的舞蹈表演——拉丁舞!”掌聲立即響徹全場。
我盡量瞪大雙眼,生怕漏掉什么。瑪麗穿著一條閃閃發(fā)光的金色裙子出現(xiàn)在耀眼的舞臺上。她的裙子與明亮的燈光交相輝映。這樣的場景就像是美人魚出現(xiàn)在燦爛的陽光下一樣美麗。與此同時,我能感覺到全場觀眾的目光都聚集在她身上,而我也難以將視線從她身上移開。她是如此美麗:她的身材很苗條,長長的金發(fā)卷曲在她小巧的耳朵后面。她帶著迷人的笑容舞動起來,完全沉醉在拉丁音樂中。在這一刻,她看起來就像是一只美麗的蝴蝶在這個華麗的舞臺上翩翩起舞……我簡直不敢相信自己的眼睛。
表演結(jié)束后,我在門口等她。
“嗨!”她提著一個包包和她的水晶高跟鞋出現(xiàn)在我面前,穿著她平常穿的衣服,但還能看到化妝的痕跡。
“你覺得我的表演怎么樣?”她的臉上沒有顯出一絲疲倦的神情。
“無與倫比!”我回答道。
“哈哈!我就知道是這樣?!彼陲棽蛔∨d奮,像個孩子一樣笑著。
“我?guī)湍隳冒???/p>
“謝謝!”她把水晶鞋遞給我。它們在這美妙的星空下熠熠閃光。這時,我意識到,每個女孩都擁有一雙特殊的鞋子,就像灰姑娘的水晶鞋一樣。
