My “FAIRY TALES FOR LITTLE X”
MEETING
——–
A little girl feel ill with a contagious disease they call ”mumps”. In this disease, you have swollen cheeks, you are given medication that makes you want to laugh.
She was lying alone in the house, staring at the picture on the wall.In the picture there was a beatiful garden with climin roses. Trough the gate an old lady entered the garden.
This lady is your grandmother, her mother once told the girl . Because almost all the children had grandmothers, and the girl did not have a grandmother. She had seen grandmothers spoil their grandchildrenand dreamed of having one too.
the little girl didn’t want to be a t home anymore and decided to look for the garden and the grandmother from the painting.
She found a spare key tothe house, got dressed, and left. She went to nearby park where swans swam in the pond.
She asked the swans: you fly hihg and far. Or have you seen the garden withthe climbing roses and your grandmother ?
And the swans told thegirlthat such a garden was far away. You have to take tram number 9 to the end of the cty and them walk for a long time.
While the girl was talkingto the swans, she saw that a boy with a white and red dog was sitting on a bench nearby.
The girl came up to him and introduced herself: I’m Reni and what is your name and why aren’t you at school now?
The boy replied: Im Elon and that’smy dog Trolly. I just stole it from animal shelter.
There are a lot unfortunate dogs and cats in this shelter and there was also one black pig there see, she squealed a lot.
The girl said to the boy: Then we will go together now and free these animals.The boy agreed and all three of them, for Trolly had gone with them, entered quietly trough the hole in the fence to the shelter area.
The caretaker, an elderly gentelman, slept in his room. Reni,Elonand Trolly opened all the cages and freed the animals. They opened the main gate,closed only with a bolt, and animals fled to their homes.
Only the little black pig remainded. She said: I’m not going back home because they want to kill me and make sausages out of me.Can I go with you ? My name is Fyfy.
The children agreed and Fyfy went back with them by the swan pond. Nowwe will take tram number 9 to the end city and look for the garden and the grandmother from the painting. -That’s what the kids decided, Trolly and Fyfy too.
We don’t have money for tickets, so we’ll hide at the end ot the tram, where there’s a wide bench.
The swans told: I’mhow to get to the tram stop. When tram number 9 arrived,the childrenand animals go into and hid underthe bench.
The tram took a long time, people got on and off. No one noticed the kids or animals undre the bench. When the tram stopped at the last stop,our heroes ot this fairy tale quietly got out.
MEADOWS
———-
Tey saw a world they had never known before. They gazed with delight and the wild meadows, the flowing stream overgrown with old willows.They listened to the singing of various birds and buzzing of insects,the clatter of frogs. They breathed in the smell of grasses, herbst and flowers.
They ran in mad joy in the meadows, the vegetationreaching almost to their shoulders. Their multi-coloured flowers tickled, and buzzing insects drank nectar in their calyxes .Frightened and curious birds flew over heir heads.
The children,the dog and the pig finally reached the stream and greendly drank the crystal water from it. Not far away there was a large, wild peartree and everybody even the dog was eating pears, which had fallen from the tree and were lying in the grass.
Then the kids climbed one of the willows by the stream.
From theheights they were delighted to see the whole area. There were meadows all around, on one side they could see a smal forest and far, far they could see the outlines of the mountains. I wonder if it’s the end od the world there ? And whatis atthe end of the world, is there an abyss there, or is it possile to touch the sky there ? asked Reni.
Elon replied: Haveyou heard that oue Earth is supportedby giants called Atlas? I don’t believe that. Our Earth is a sphere and you can’t find the end of the world. If we had walked straight ahead all time, we would have came to where we came from. And Reni showed it by walking his fingers around his hand.
I don’t think we could go like that, because there would be seas,desert and high mountains covered with snowonthe way. Renianswered. Elon said: Well, we could go on a plane and come back here.
And what a beatiful journey it would be,, the children dreamed. And Trolly and Fyfywhere standing under a treeandlistening withgrat curiosity to the children’s conversation: We’ll go there wiyh you. A dog barked and a poggy squealed.
The children climbed down from the tree ,and all four fell asleep on the grass, tired, dreaming of a trip around the world.
