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.
