This story is about a girl named Coppelia that sits on her
balcony all day reading. She has never smiled or talked to anyone. The
friendliest girl in the village, Swalinda, can’t even catch her attention. One
day Franz was throwing his kisses up at coppelia trying for a response. Swanilda
skips in, looking for Franz, as he is her boyfriend. She sees Franz blowing
kisses at Coppelia, and gets annoyed. They were to be married the next day, but
as the burgomaster comes around asking if she will be wed, she says no, and runs
away in tears. That night Coppelia’s father Dr. Coppeius, takes a stroll in
the park, He drops his house key, not noticing that it’s gone. Swanilda finds
the key, planning to sneak into Coppelia sitting in her usual chair reading her
usual book. Swanilda said hello, and started cracking up! "She’s a doll!!!!!",
Swalinda cries. Dr. 
smiles
and takes Franz for a drink. The doctor adds a magic potion to the drink,
causing Franz to fall asleep. The doctor then gets to work. He tried to bring
Coppelia alive. Swalinda had dressed as Coppelia, and pretended to come alive.
The doctor found out though, and was horribly sad as Franz and Swalinda fled
from the house. The next day everyone went to the gathering, including Franz,
Swanilda, and the doctor. The doctor demands a fee for the damage done to
Coppelia. Swanilda gladly pays and she and Franz marry.
