A midsummer dream

 

 

Out in the cool fresh air of the forest, Caroline and Lydia ran holding each others hands.
Their laughter filled the Swedish forest and blended with the wonderful aroma from all the summer flowers.

 

- Look at these beautiful flowers! exclaimed Caroline and crouched down and picked one of the bright pink flowers. This is at least one of the seven flowers that I will put under my pillow tonight. 

 

- I will put one of them under my pillow as well, then I will probably dream that I will marry a prince, Lydia replied. 

 

- Yes you will, said Caroline and laughed. 

 

Then she stopped laughing suddenly and just sat silent and looked toward the small clearing. 

 

- What is it? Lydia asked and looked towards the sunlit glade. But then she also got all quit. 

 

What the two girls saw was something very special, it was fairies! The fairies danced in beautiful white dresses. They danced without touching the ground! 

 

Around in a circle, they danced and let their golden hair flutter in the air.

 

Carloine and Lydia laid in the green lush grass for a long time, marveled over the fairies. Something as beautiful as the fairies, they couldn't even imagine.

 

- I wish I had a white dress like that, Caroline whispered, still looking at the fairies.

 

- Yes, Lydia said, looking down at her worn dress. But all of a sudden both Caroline's and Lydia's worn dresses was transformed into white dresses, just like the fairies. The girls were both happy and amazed. They looked at the fairies who waved to them to join the dance. Throughout the evening Caroline and Lydia danced with the fairies. Yes, they danced until they were so tired that they lay down in the grass and fell asleep. When they woke up in the morning the elves was gone but they knew that the dance wasn't a dream, because the girls were still wearing the beautiful white dresses. This was a midsummer night they would never forget.
