Does story suppose to have a happy ending?

A child was born with a pure heart and an innocent mind.

Years after years had been told wrong and be punished.

She learned lying was the way to protect herself from the beast.

The beast said, “You are an ugly duckling which will never grow up be a beautiful swan!”

She acted the way the beast wanted but still no sign of love.

No longer a child but an adult with a cold heart and poisoned mind.

She remained to please the beast till its last breath.

After that day, she saw a bright light from a miracle.

The miracle tried again and again but still couldn’t reach her heart.

The light faded away.

No more beast but no more miracle either.

She sat alone by the lake and saw her own reflection, an ugly duckling!
