True African Tales

Her Stepsister Burned Her Face Out of Jealousy—What Happened Next Was Unexpected!  In a small African village, Amara was known for her kindness, intelligence, and breathtaking beauty. But behind the warmth of her smile was the growing jealousy of her stepsister, Zaria. Ever since their father remarried, Zaria saw Amara as a rival, not a sister.  As Amara received love and admiration from everyone, including a marriage proposal from a wealthy prince, Zaria’s jealousy turned into hatred. Determined to destroy Amara’s beauty, Zaria first tried mixing chemicals into her face cream, but when that failed, she did something unimaginable—she threw boiling water on Amara’s face while she slept.  Amara woke up in unbearable pain, her face scarred forever. Zaria pretended it was an accident, and with their father away, her mother, Madame Laila, covered up the crime. But when the prince discovered the truth, he was furious. Instead of rejecting Amara, he admired her strength and exposed Zaria’s cruelty in front of everyone.  Their father returned home and, upon learning of the betrayal, banished Zaria and Madame Laila from the family. Once proud and powerful, they were now outcasts, struggling in poverty while Amara rose above her pain. She proved that beauty isn’t just skin deep. She became an inspiration, helping burn victims and turning her tragedy into hope.  Despite her scars, the prince proposed again, proving that love and respect go beyond appearances. Amara became a princess, loved by her people. Meanwhile, Zaria, once filled with envy, realized too late that her hatred had destroyed her own life.

Transcript

00:00Amara was a girl everyone admired. She was not just beautiful, but also kind and intelligent.

00:06Wherever she went, people were drawn to her warm smile and gentle nature.

00:11She treated everyone with kindness, whether it was the old woman selling fruits in the market

00:16or the little children playing in the streets.

00:18Her heart was pure, and that made her even more beautiful in the eyes of those around her.

00:23But not everyone was happy with Amara's charm.

00:25Her stepsister Zaria had always felt overshadowed by her.

00:28No matter what she did, people always seemed to compare her to Amara.

00:33Look how polite Amara is, they would say.

00:35She is so graceful and smart.

00:37These words made Zaria's heart burn with jealousy.

00:40She couldn't understand why Amara was always the favourite, why people loved her so much.

00:45Things changed when their father remarried.

00:47Amara had lost her mother at a young age, and for years it was just her and her father.

00:52But when Madame Leila entered their lives, everything took a different turn.

00:57Madame Leila was not a kind woman.

01:00She favoured her own daughter, Zaria, and treated Amara like an outsider.

01:04At first, Amara hoped for love from her new mother, but all she received was coldness.

01:10Zaria, on the other hand, saw this as an opportunity.

01:13She had always felt like she was living in Amara's shadow, but now, with her mother's support,

01:18she was ready to change that.

01:20She didn't just want to be equal to Amara, she wanted to be better.

01:24But no matter what she did, Amara remained the one people adored.

01:28As time passed, Zaria's jealousy grew stronger.

01:32It wasn't just about beauty anymore.

01:34Amara was loved, respected, and admired.

01:37And that was something Zaria couldn't stand.

01:39Amara had a special way of making people love her.

01:42Whether it was the neighbours, the market vendors, or the servants in the house, everyone adored her.

01:47She was kind to everyone, always ready to help, and never spoke harshly.

01:52Wherever she went, people's faces lit up with admiration.

01:56Even the village elders praised her, saying she would make a wonderful wife and bring honour to any home.

02:02But Zaria hated this.

02:03She couldn't understand why Amara always got all the attention.

02:06No matter how much she dressed up or tried to impress people,

02:10no one ever looked at her the way they looked at Amara.

02:12It wasn't fair.

02:13She was also beautiful.

02:15She was also smart.

02:16But still, Amara was the one everyone talked about.

02:19And the more she saw people praising her stepsister, the more her heart filled with anger.

02:24Her mother, Madame Layla, only made things worse.

02:27She would often compare the two sisters, sighing as if Zaria was a disappointment.

02:32Why can't you be more like Amara?

02:34She would say.

02:35Look at her grace.

02:36Her manners.

02:37That is why people love her.

02:39These words were like poison to Zaria.

02:41She wanted to scream every time she heard them.

02:43She was tired of living in Amara's shadow.

02:46Then, one day, something happened that made Zaria lose control.

02:50A royal messenger arrived at their home with exciting news.

02:54Prince Idris had heard about Amara's beauty and kindness, and he wished to meet her for marriage.

02:59The entire household was filled with excitement.

03:02The servants whispered about it.

03:03The neighbours congratulated Amara.

03:05And even their father looked proud.

03:07But Zaria, she felt like her world was falling apart.

03:11She clenched her fists.

03:13Her face burning with rage.

03:15A prince?

03:16Amara was going to marry a prince?

03:18That meant she would become a princess.

03:21Live in a palace.

03:22And have a life of luxury.

03:23And what about Zaria?

03:25She would always be the forgotten stepsister.

03:27The girl no one noticed.

03:29No.

03:29She couldn't let this happen.

03:31She wouldn't let Amara have everything.

03:34That day, as Amara smiled with joy, Zaria made a decision.

03:38She would do whatever it took to ruin her stepsister's happiness.

03:42Zaria couldn't sleep that night.

03:44The thought of Amara becoming a princess made her feel sick.

03:47Everywhere she went, people whispered about how lucky Amara was.

03:52The servants talked about her wedding.

03:54The neighbours admired her beauty.

03:56And even her own mother seemed impressed.

03:58But Zaria, she was filled with rage.

04:01How could Amara have everything while she had nothing?

04:03It wasn't fair.

04:05Sitting in her room, she clenched her fists, her mind racing with dark thoughts.

04:09If Amara loses her beauty, the prince won't want her, she whispered to herself.

04:15A wicked idea formed in her mind.

04:17She knew Amara used a special face cream every night.

04:20What if she mixed something into it?

04:22Something that would ruin her perfect skin?

04:24The next day, while Amara was busy, Zaria sneaked into her room.

04:29She carefully opened the jar of face cream and poured in a few drops of a strong chemical

04:34she had stolen from the kitchen.

04:36It was meant to clean stains, but she knew it could burn the skin if used too much.

04:40She mixed it well, making sure no one would notice.

04:43Then, she waited.

04:45That night, Amara applied the cream, as usual.

04:48Zaria watched from a distance, waiting for her to scream.

04:51But nothing happened.

04:52Amara went to sleep peacefully, unaware of the danger.

04:55The next morning, her face was just as beautiful as ever.

04:58The cream had failed.

04:59Zaria felt her blood boil.

05:01Her plan had failed, but she wasn't ready to give up.

05:03If the cream couldn't ruin Amara's face, she would do something even worse.

05:07Her hands shook with rage as she grabbed a kettle of boiling water from the kitchen.

05:11Without thinking, she stormed into Amara's room, her heart pounding.

05:15She stood over her sleeping stepsister.

05:17Her face twisted with jealousy.

05:19And then, she did the unthinkable.

05:22With one quick motion, she threw the scalding water onto Amara's face.

05:26A blood-curdling scream filled the air as Amara woke up in unbearable pain.

05:30Her skin burned, her eyes filled with tears.

05:33And the only thing she could do was scream for help.

05:36Zaria stepped back, her own heart racing.

05:38She had done it.

05:39There was no turning back now.

05:41A piercing scream shattered the silence of the night.

05:44Amara jolted awake, clutching her face as unbearable pain shot through her skin.

05:48It felt like fire was eating her alive.

05:51She could barely breathe, her vision blurred by hot tears.

05:55Her once-beautiful face was burning.

05:57And the pain was unlike anything she had ever felt before.

06:00The servants rushed in, their faces turning pale at the sight before them.

06:04Amara's skin was red and blistered, her hands trembling as she sobbed uncontrollably.

06:09Help me!

06:10Please!

06:11She cried, her voice weak and filled with agony.

06:14Zaria stood frozen in the corner, her heart pounding.

06:17She had done this.

06:18She had thrown the boiling water.

06:20But now, seeing Amara suffering, a flicker of fear ran through her.

06:25What if she got caught?

06:26What if her father found out?

06:27She had to think fast.

06:29Tears welled up in her eyes as she ran to Amara's side, pretending to be horrified.

06:34Oh no, Amara, I'm so sorry.

06:37I didn't mean to.

06:37I tripped.

06:38The water slipped from my hands.

06:40Her voice shook as she acted like she was in shock.

06:43The servants looked at her, unsure of what to believe.

06:46At that moment, Madame Layla stormed in, her face twisted in fake concern.

06:51What happened here?

06:52She demanded, looking at the chaos in the room.

06:54The water?

06:55It was an accident, Zaria said quickly, her voice breaking.

06:59I swear, mother, I didn't mean to hurt her.

07:02Madame Layla's eyes flickered with understanding.

07:05She knew Zaria was lying, but she didn't care.

07:08She would protect her daughter at any cost.

07:10She turned to the servants, her voice firm.

07:12This was an accident.

07:14No one will speak of this again.

07:15Do you hear me?

07:16The servants hesitated but nodded.

07:18They had no choice.

07:19The master of the house, Amara's father, was away on business.

07:23There was no one to defend Amara.

07:25Amara, still crying in pain, looked at Zaria through her swollen eyes.

07:30She wanted to scream, to tell everyone the truth, but her voice was weak.

07:34The betrayal cut deeper than the burns.

07:36The sister she had grown up with, the girl she had once trusted, had done this to her.

07:41And now, there was no one to save her.

07:43Amara sat on her bed, her body weak from pain.

07:46Her face was wrapped in cloth, and every movement sent sharp stings through her skin.

07:50The servants had applied herbal remedies, but nothing could erase the burning sensation.

07:56Days had passed since the accident, or what everyone was forced to call an accident.

08:01But Amara knew the truth.

08:02She knew what Zaria had done.

08:04Madame Leila and Zaria avoided her room as much as possible, only checking in to make

08:08sure she remained silent.

08:09They didn't want their secret to get out.

08:11No one did.

08:12The house felt cold, empty of the love she once knew.

08:16But the worst was yet to come.

08:17One morning, a servant brought a small mirror to her bedside.

08:21Miss Amara, do you wish to see?

08:23The woman hesitated, unsure if she should continue.

08:26Amara's hands trembled as she reached for the mirror.

08:29A deep fear settled in her heart.

08:31She wasn't ready, but she had to know.

08:34Slowly, she removed the cloth and held up the mirror.

08:37A gasp escaped her lips.

08:39The reflection staring back at her was unrecognizable.

08:42Her once smooth, glowing skin was now covered in scars, red and uneven.

08:46The burns had left marks that would never fade.

08:49Her beauty, her pride, was gone.

08:52Her fingers shook as she touched her face, tears rolling down her cheeks.

08:57No, this can't be me, she whispered, her voice breaking.

09:00She threw the mirror across the room, shattering it into pieces.

09:04Meanwhile, news of Amara's accident had spread across the kingdom.

09:08When the prince heard about it, he was horrified.

09:11The beautiful, kind-hearted girl he had wished to marry was now suffering from a terrible tragedy.

09:17Servants in the palace whispered that he would call off the engagement.

09:20After all, why would a prince marry a girl with a ruined face?

09:24Zarya listened to these rumours with satisfaction.

09:27Her plan had worked.

09:28Amara was no longer the perfect girl everyone admired.

09:31Soon, the prince would reject her, and Amara would be nothing.

09:35But then, something unexpected happened.

09:37A royal messenger arrived at their home with a message from the prince.

09:41He still wished to meet Amara.

09:42The day had finally come.

09:44Amara sat in her room, her heart pounding.

09:47She was terrified.

09:48The prince was coming to see her.

09:50She knew what he would think the moment he saw her.

09:52Shock.

09:53Pity.

09:54Maybe even disgust.

09:55How could he still want to marry her after seeing what she had become?

09:59Madame Leila and Zarya stood outside, whispering.

10:01It's over, Zarya smirked.

10:03As soon as he sees her face, he'll reject her.

10:06She'll never be a princess.

10:08The palace guards arrived first, then the royal messenger.

10:11Finally, Prince Idris stepped inside.

10:13He was tall, elegant, and serious.

10:16He looked around, his sharp eyes scanning the room.

10:19And then, he saw Amara.

10:21She slowly lifted her veil, revealing the scars that covered her once-perfect face.

10:25She didn't cry, but the pain in her eyes was clear.

10:29Everyone watched in silence, waiting for the prince's reaction.

10:32But instead of stepping back in horror, Prince Idris took a step forward.

10:36He looked at Amara.

10:37Not with pity, but with admiration.

10:39You are still the woman I wish to marry, he said softly.

10:42Your strength is more beautiful than anything I have ever seen.

10:46Zarya's heart stopped.

10:47No, this isn't happening.

10:49She had done everything to ruin Amara.

10:51Yet the prince still wanted her.

10:53How?

10:53But the prince wasn't done yet.

10:55He turned to the servants and asked,

10:57Tell me, how did this happen?

10:59There was silence.

11:00No one dared to speak.

11:02Then, one of the older maids stepped forward, her hands shaking.

11:06Your Highness.

11:07It was no accident.

11:08Zarya did this.

11:10Gasps filled the room.

11:11Amara looked up, shocked.

11:13Zarya's face went pale.

11:15Lies!

11:16She screamed.

11:17She's lying!

11:18But the prince's eyes darkened.

11:20Enough, he said coldly.

11:22I will find out the truth myself.

11:24And he did.

11:25He questioned the servants, the villagers, even the healers who had treated Amara.

11:30The truth was clear.

11:31Zarya had burned her own sister out of jealousy.

11:34Furious, the prince turned to Amara's father, who had just returned.

11:39This girl does not belong in your home, he declared.

11:42She belongs in exile.

11:44Zarya's world shattered.

11:46Her secret was out, and there was no escape.

11:48The air in the house was thick with tension.

11:51Amara's father had finally returned.

11:53He stepped inside, unaware of the storm waiting for him.

11:57But the moment he saw Amara's face, her once beautiful skin now scarred, his heart dropped.

12:03What?

12:03What happened to my daughter?

12:05He demanded, his voice shaking with anger and fear.

12:09No one spoke at first.

12:10Zarya and Madame Layla lowered their heads, hoping to escape his wrath.

12:15But Prince Idris stepped forward.

12:17Your daughter has suffered a great betrayal, he said firmly.

12:20Not from strangers, but from her own family.

12:23Amara's father turned to the servants.

12:25Tell me the truth, he ordered.

12:27The servants hesitated, glancing at Madame Layla, who gave them a warning glare.

12:33But then one of them bravely stepped forward.

12:36Sir, it was Zarya.

12:38She threw boiling water on Amara's face, and Madame Layla covered it up.

12:42A deadly silence filled the room.

12:44The father's face turned red with fury.

12:46He turned to Zarya, his eyes burning with disappointment.

12:49Is this true?

12:50He asked, his voice dangerously low.

12:53Zarya trembled.

12:55F-father.

12:56I-I didn't mean to-

12:58Enough!

12:59He roared.

13:00I raised you as my own.

13:02Gave you everything.

13:03And this is how you repay me.

13:04By ruining my daughter's life out of jealousy, Madame Layla stepped forward.

13:09Husband, please.

13:11She's just a child.

13:13It was a mistake.

13:14A mistake, he snapped.

13:16You protected her.

13:17You let my daughter suffer.

13:19His voice was filled with so much rage that Madame Layla stepped back in fear.

13:24Without another word, he made his decision.

13:27Zarya and Madame Layla, you are no longer part of this family.

13:31Leave this house.

13:32Now!

13:33Zarya gasped.

13:34No!

13:35Father, please.

13:36I have nowhere to go.

13:37You should have thought of that before you hurt your own sister, he said coldly.

13:41As the guards dragged them out, Amara wiped her tears.

13:44She had suffered, but she had won.

13:46She was no longer just a beautiful girl.

13:49She was strong.

13:49The people admired her even more, not for her looks, but for her courage.

13:54And for the first time in a long time, she felt truly free.

13:58Days turned into weeks, and Amara slowly began to heal.

14:02Not just her wounds, but her heart as well.

14:05She no longer hid from the world.

14:07Instead, she walked through the village with her head held high.

14:10Some people still whispered about her scars, but most admired her.

14:14She was no longer just the beautiful girl.

14:16She was the brave girl.

14:17The one who survived betrayal and still stood strong.

14:20The prince visited her often, watching her with admiration.

14:24She had lost her outer beauty, but her inner beauty had only grown stronger.

14:29She helped the poor, comforted the sick, and spoke kindly to everyone.

14:34She was no longer afraid of what people thought.

14:36One evening, as the sun set behind the palace, Prince Idris stood before her with a warm smile.

14:42Amara, he said softly, when I first met you, I admired your beauty.

14:47But now, I admire your heart.

14:49You are stronger than anyone I know, and that is why I still wish to marry you.

14:53Amara's heart skipped a beat.

14:54She had expected him to move on, to forget about her.

14:57But here he was, offering her not just love, but respect.

15:01Tears welled up in her eyes as she nodded.

15:03Yes, she whispered.

15:05I will marry you.

15:06The news spread quickly.

15:07The kingdom rejoiced.

15:09For they loved their future princess.

15:10Yes, preparations for the wedding began.

15:13And when the grand day arrived, the palace was decorated with gold and flowers.

15:18People from all over came to witness the union of the prince and the girl,

15:21who had turned her pain into strength.

15:23Amara walked down the aisle, her scars still visible, but she wore them like a queen.

15:28She had once feared the mirror, but now she looked at herself with pride.

15:32She had lost her beauty, but she had gained something far greater.

15:35Self-respect, love, and a future where she would never be treated as weak again.

15:41As she stood beside Prince Idris, the kingdom cheered.

15:45Amara was no longer just a girl with a tragic past.

15:48She was a princess, a warrior, and an inspiration to all.

15:52Zarya and Madame Leila had once lived in luxury, wearing the finest clothes and eating the best food.

15:58But now, everything had changed.

16:01They were no longer the respected women of the household.

16:03They had been thrown out with nothing.

16:05No money, no home, and no one to help them.

16:08Days turned into weeks, and the once proud Madame Leila struggled to find food.

16:14No one in the village wanted to help them.

16:17People whispered behind their backs, calling them traitors.

16:20Cruel-hearted women who had tried to destroy an innocent girl.

16:24Shopkeepers refused to sell them food.

16:26Neighbours closed their doors on them.

16:28And even the servants who once worked for them looked at them with disgust.

16:32Zarya sat on the dirty ground, her clothes torn, her stomach empty.

16:37She watched people walk past her without even a glance.

16:40It was humiliating.

16:41The same people who once praised her now avoided her like a curse.

16:45One day, she saw a group of young girls laughing as they passed by.

16:49She heard them talking about Amara, the strong, beautiful princess who had turned her pain into power.

16:55The girl who had once been Zarya's greatest enemy was now loved more than ever.

16:59Tears filled Zarya's eyes.

17:01She had thought ruining Amara's beauty would ruin her life, but instead, it had made her stronger.

17:07And now, here she was.

17:08Alone.

17:10Hungry.

17:10Forgotten.

17:11Madame Leila sat beside her, her face hollow with regret.

17:14We had everything, she whispered.

17:17And we threw it all away.

17:19Zarya lowered her head.

17:20She had hated Amara for so long.

17:23But now, she finally saw the truth.

17:26Her jealousy had destroyed her own life.

17:28If only she had loved her sister instead of hating her, things would have been different.

17:33But it was too late.

17:34Amara was a princess, loved by all.

17:37And Zarya, she was nothing.

17:39Karma had given her exactly what she deserved.

17:42Years passed, and Amara's story became known far and wide.

17:46People no longer spoke of her scars with pity.

17:49They spoke of her strength with admiration.

17:52She had faced cruelty, betrayal, and unimaginable pain.

17:56Yet, she had risen above it all.

17:59Instead of hiding from the world, Amara embraced her new purpose.

18:03She used her wealth and status as a princess to help others who had suffered like her.

18:08She built a home for burn victims, a place where they could heal without shame.

18:13People who had once been cast aside by society now found hope in her kindness.

18:18One day, a young girl was brought to the palace.

18:20Her face was badly burned, and she refused to look at anyone.

18:24She wept, believing she would never be loved again.

18:27Amara knelt beside her, gently holding her hands.

18:31I once felt the same way, she said softly.

18:34I thought my scars would define me forever.

18:37But do you know what I learned?

18:39The girl shook her head, tears in her eyes.

18:42Amara smiled.

18:43True beauty isn't in the face.
