Once upon a time, beyond the seven rivers and seven mountains there stood a kingdom. In it lived a wise king and his queen. Together they had two daughters. Both princesses were very beautiful and clever. They both had long hair that waved beautifully. They always wore beautiful dresses. They smiled at everyone and were very friendly and kind. They loved to go into the garden and sing and dance among the trees and flowers. They were very good at it. When they were dancing, it looked like they weren’t touching the ground. They did everything with joy and complete ease.

In the distance on a high hill there stood a castle. Here and there a piece of the wall was missing, in some places it was quite battered and no one lived in it. It was more like a castle ruin.

No one knew what is happening there when it gets dark.

There was a beautiful villa in a small town nearby. This is a house that is bigger than the others and usually several families live in it. Two boys lived in this villa with their parents.

Every time Billy went somewhere, he’d slide down the banister and land right in front of Owie’s door. They went everywhere together. They played games together and together they came up with ideas. There was a beautiful garden around their villa. The lawn was completely soft and they had a lot of space for their games. They loved to play in the garden.

In a faraway land where it snows all year round and in the highest mountains, a story I want to tell you took place. It happened a long time ago. There is a mountain that is the highest in the world. People don’t go there. There’s piles of snow and sometimes there’s an avalanche. That means that some of the snow gets loose somewhere, and then all of it slides down the mountain. Even if there were no people living on the mountain, there was still some life. A snowman lived there.

In the middle of a deep forest stood a stump. It was the only one far and wide. Around it grew ferns and here and there a mushroom appeared. Every evening, a fairy sat on that stump. She was very small. When an adult walked by, all he could see was a little light on the stump. But he couldn’t tell it was a fairy.

There was a kindergarten on the edge of our street. Children from all over the town went there. The kindergarten looked like a little sun. It was all yellow. It had a blue roof like the sky. In the garden around it there were flowers, soft grass that was always mown and the best wooden sandpit and climbing frames. Two teachers taught the children there.

Far away in the high cliffs there are places where eagles’ nests are. They’re very high up and can’t be seen from the ground. Only if you stand under that rock, sometimes you can see mama or daddy eagle fly out from somewhere. Mostly they fly out to find food. They leave their little baby eagles in the nest and fly away to bring them something good to eat. And for their babies to grow up and get strong. When the baby birds are a little bigger, it’s time for them to fly out of the nest on their own to test the strength of their wings and learn how to do it.
