The vampire’s house was the prettiest house in the neighborhood. Whoever passed by was tempted to go in! The vampire immediately “ssssucked” their blood. The vampire possessed a gem that made her house so pretty. 
One day, while swimming, she lost the gem. Immediately her house turned black, solid black. Nobody came to her house anymore. There was no other way to live, but to live as human! She had to drop her crown. The house turned black without the gem. 
She never made any friends and had a lonely life. After crossing the age of 94, she died as any normal human being would. She was reborn as a duck. One day, while diving for food, she accidentally swallowed the gem. Immediately she was a beautiful, golden duck. 
Sadly, a few days later she died. Why? Because the gem was made of crystal and ducks cannot digest crystal. She was again reborn as a deer and lived a normal, peaceful life at last.
