In a fairy-tale realm beyond the ten hills and ten valleys stood a castle with the tallest tower in the world. In the tower lived a princess. A young and pretty girl. As she looked out of the tower window, her long black hair fluttered in the wind. She had lived in this tower for several years. She was imprisoned there by the king of the nearby kingdom.

Shark Bay
There was an island in a faraway land. Around it, far and wide, only the sea. Its waves crashed against the rocks that rose on one side of the island. On the other was the beach. Under the rocks the water was very deep and in that depth there was a home of sharks.

In a far away village there was a small house. A little girl lived there with a fluffy dog. Her name was Jane. A black-haired girl with brown eyes and a beautiful smile. But right now she was sad.

Philip was a restless little boy. He was in the first grade and didn’t enjoy school at all. He didn’t want to learn. He didn’t enjoy the Czech language because he didn’t like to read. He didn’t like maths because he didn’t like to count. Art or work activities were a torture for him.

Beyond the deep forest lies a beautiful meadow. It is full of colourful and fragrant flowers. There are also lots of trees and small shrubs. Little birds fly around the trees and bushes. They live in their crowns. It’s a big day today. They’ve announced a singing competition for the birds. Everyone has been practising hard and choosing the best songs. They had to sing the song in front of the jury. The three wisest owls were in the jury. They flew in from the forest to hear the songbirds sing.

In the middle of a deep forest was a strange cottage. It was built in the crown of a tree, so few people could see it. It was the home of Carlos the robber. He was good. He was more likely to keep an eye on passers-by and only robbed those who had too much money, didn’t want to share and selfishly kept it for themselves. His hair was cut very short and he had a short beard on his face. He had a cute little scar near his eyebrows, and he charmed everyone with his beautiful big eyes. But he had one problem. He couldn’t hear out of one ear. Carlos liked to sit in his tree house and watch everything that went on in the forest from above. But one day he saw someone he’d never forget. It was an encounter that changed his life forever.

Beyond a few woods and a few fields was a pond. A few water lilies were floating on it and reeds grew around it. There were regular sounds coming from the reeds. “Quack, quack, quack.” Such croaking meant that two frogs were having a row by the pond. Their names were Hop and Jump. They were two frog brothers. They had lived by the pond for a long time. During the day they hid from the sun in the reeds, and in the evening they would lie down on a water lily to croak their bedtime song. The people who lived by the pond got so used to it that they couldn’t sleep without it. But one evening something was different.

Behind a deep forest by a large field stood a large farm. Next to the farm was a huge barn. In it lived two extraordinary machines. A big tractor and a little tractor. Both of them helped the farmer in the field with everything that was needed on the farm. The big tractor was strong and wise. He knew exactly what to do and how to do it. The little tractor was a handy helper, but he was naughty, stubborn and sometimes did things his own way. And that was not good.

In September, many children start kindergarten. For many of them this is something new. There are new friends, new adult teachers, new games, new meals and new rules. Vojta started to go to one of these kindergartens. He was a restless boy who was always making things up and didn’t want to listen. As soon as he came to the kindergarten on his first day, the teacher saw in his mischievous eyes that he was going to be a rascal. He was a good boy, but he couldn’t stand still and didn’t seem to hear the teacher’s commands.

Far above the sky, almost in space, stands a beautiful house. It is built on a planet. But it’s not just any house. It looks like it’s made of steam. It’s always sort of gently undulating. It’s a magical factory.
