Folktale

Folktale THE WHITE SATIN GOWN This tail has been repeated throughout the mid west for several hundred years. A young man invited a young woman to a formal dance. But the woman was very poor, and she could not afford to buy the evening gown she needed for the dance. The young woman’s mother suggested that she rent a dress instead of buying one. So she went to a pawnshop not far from where she lived. There she found a white satin evening gown in her size. The gown fit perfect, and did not cost very much to rent. When she arrived at the dance with her friend wearing the gown she had rented, she looked very elegant, and she danced over and over again and was having a wonderful time. But then she began to feel dizzy and faint, and she asked her friend to take her home. When she got home, she laid down on her bed. gown, young, fluid, dress, woman, very, hercules, found, dance, coroner, centaur, white, while, story, satin, robe, rent, over, mother, killed, home, helper, friend, evening, embalming, doctor, deianira, blood, years, wonderful, woman’s, west, wearing, undertaker’s, understand
