Story

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a young girl named Lily. She lived in a small cottage in the woods with her grandmother, who was a wise and kind woman. Lily’s parents had passed away when she was just a baby, and her grandmother had raised her ever since.

Lily was a curious and adventurous girl, and she loved exploring the woods around her home. She often went on long walks, picking wildflowers and chasing butterflies. She also enjoyed talking to the animals she encountered on her walks, and they seemed to understand her perfectly.

One day, as Lily was wandering through the woods, she heard a strange sound. It was a soft, melodic tune, like nothing she had ever heard before. She followed the sound until she came to a clearing, where she saw a group of fairies dancing in a circle.

Lily was amazed by the beauty of the fairies and the grace of their dance. She stood there, watching them for a while, until one of the fairies noticed her. The fairy was a small, delicate creature with shimmering wings and a golden crown on her head.

„Who are you, and what are you doing here?“ the fairy asked, looking at Lily with suspicion.

„I’m Lily,“ the girl said. „I live in the woods with my grandmother. I heard your music and came to see what was happening.“

The fairy studied Lily for a moment, then smiled. „Well, since you’re here, why don’t you join us? We could use a human in our dance.“

Lily was thrilled at the invitation and eagerly joined the fairies in their dance. They danced and twirled around the clearing, and Lily felt like she was flying. The fairies were so light and graceful, and their music was enchanting.

As the sun began to set, the fairies suddenly stopped dancing and disappeared into the woods. Lily was sad to see them go, but she knew she had been lucky to witness their dance.

Over the next few days, Lily returned to the clearing every evening, hoping to see the fairies again. And every evening, they appeared and danced with her. Lily felt like she had found a new family in the fairies, and she was grateful for their company.
