## Snapshot

A farmer's daughter so captivated by her own reflection in the brook that she cannot hear the water people warning her she will come to no good end.

## Who they are

Lamorna bends over the brook daily, praising her own brown eyes and rosebud mouth while the tiny water people beneath the surface shake their heads and sigh. She stays past six o'clock, forgetting her father's supper and his anger, because her reflection matters more than anything waiting for her at home. Her vanity is not merely a flaw but a kind of blindness, and the story watches to see what the world will make of a girl who cannot see past her own face.
