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.

There were beautiful trees growing there, a small stream running through it, and various paths leading everywhere, where one could have a nice walk. All the children loved to go there. If you walked down one of those paths all the way to the middle of the park, you would find the best thing there was.

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.

Ella and Nela were two special little girls. They were twins. That means they were sisters and they were born at the same time. At first glance, they looked incredibly similar, but they were completely different. Ella was brave and always wanted to do everything right away.

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.

Every day they thought of games to play and made every moment special. Every day with them was magical.

Beyond the seven mountains and the seven valleys there was a beautiful village. All the houses in it were built in a circle, and right in the middle there was a big pond. Every year when winter came, the pond froze over and all the people who lived in that village went skating on it. Everybody went there. Young and old, girls and boys.

Behind a few hills and a few valleys there stood a small village. At the edge of the village, near the forest, was a small house. Vickyi lived there with her parents. She was a little girl full of energy. She loved sports and her favourite thing was to run. Every day she ran in the forest. She jumped over sticks and small streams, dodged branches and always ran outside the forest to a beautiful clearing. There she sat in the grass and enjoyed the view of the whole village. She loved it there. It was such a favorite place of hers. It was quiet and it was not easy to run there. And she liked it very much.
