Diana was a sweet young girl. She was always smiling like the sun. She was tall, her long fair hair was always in a ponytail and when she smiled, her eyes lit up. She loved to play the guitar. And she was very good at it, too. She’d make up her own songs and then play them and sing them. But she also had another hobby. She loved trains. Her greatest wish was to be able to travel far away by train and play her songs on the guitar for people. To make someone happy with them and to see new places at the same time. But that was just her wish.

What a day it has been. Everyone is tired, especially moms and dads, but the children still want to hear a fairy tale. What to do? It’s easy. In such cases, short fairy tales that flow quickly and yet lose none of their magic will help. If you’re already looking forward to bed, read a short fairy tale, give a goodnight kiss, and off to sleep you go. There will be time for a long fairy tale again next time.

After winter comes spring. The grass begins to turn green. The meadows begin to sprout colourful flowers. Animals begin to wake from their winter slumber. Flocks of birds fly back to us from warm places. The sun is getting warmer and it’s warmer everywhere. Sometimes an unexpected warm spring rain drenches our land. When it rains and the sun shines, something beautiful and colourful appears in the sky. You know what? It’s a rainbow. No one has ever seen it begin or end. No one knows how it got here. But I know the story of a little girl who found the magic of the rainbow.

In the middle of a green meadow there was a tree. You could see it far and wide because it was so big. It would take more than ten grown-ups to hug its enormous trunk. Every year it bloomed beautifully and its crown was so big that you couldn’t see the end of it from the ground. But it was no ordinary tree. In its top there lived several elves.

There is a school bus that runs in a nice village. It is colourful and driven by a cheerful driver. When the bus is running, it looks like it is shaking all over. That’s because it carries all the children from the whole village. They just chatter and laugh and don’t sit still, but the driver doesn’t mind.

Far outside the town, so far that there were no houses or buildings, there was a well. It was very deep. The water in it was beautifully clean. There was a bucket hanging on the edge of the well.

Beyond several villages and several rivers there was a deep forest. There were trees that had lots of leaves but also those who had needles. In the middle of this forest there was a feeder and a short distance from it there was a high seat. This is a kind of small lookout where the hunter goes to watch the animals and keep an eye on what is happening in the forest.

In a green valley there was a small cabin. The cabin had white windows and a balcony full of flowers. In the house there lived a girl called Molly. She was a good girl, but very lazy. Her curly hair was always tangled because she was too lazy to comb it. Her cheeks were dirty because she didn’t want to wash them. She never cleaned her little room. She never helped her mother with anything. She just didn’t want to. She was too lazy.

There once was a beautiful meadow. Flowers of different colours and scents grew there. The grass was the greenest in the world. Every leaf and every plant that grew there looked like something out of a fairy tale.
