Mary, denied a new dress, vows to write the most fabulous girl and dress her in changing outfits, only to face trouble. Sasha wakes for the Spring festival, falls into mud, and the incident draws Mary’s attention. When Sasha speaks from inside the story, the characters question how the plot can be changed and what happens when fiction disrupts real plans.","Before the Festival Ends  \nAuthor: Lamis Al-Asaly Illustrator:Ilinora Martha Taeva English  \nBefore the Festival Ends  \nWritten by Lamis Asali.  \nImages by Elinora Murtzaeiva. © Asafeer Education Technologies FZ LLC, 2018.
