Two Sisters
Once upon a time in a magical place, there lived two sisters. They were very good friends. They lived in a land with many colorful flowers, green, green grass, and many tall and beautiful trees. It rarely rained in this land, but when it did, the rain came down in silver droplets that landed on the flower petals. The sisters liked to play
Once upon a time in a magical place, there lived two sisters. They were very good friends. They lived in a land with many colorful flowers, green, green grass, and many tall and beautiful trees. It rarely rained in this land, but when it did, the rain came down in silver droplets that landed on the flower petals. The sisters liked to play in the rain and let the drops fall on their faces and hair. As the sun returned after each storm, the silver raindrops turned into tiny diamonds which the girls collected in velvet purses. They had many, many raindrop diamonds.
The sisters had a pond on their land, and they loved walking down to the water in their fairy dresses. They would get into their canoe and paddle across the very still pond. When they got to the other side of the pond, big fluffy clouds would float down from the sky to meet them. They would step onto the clouds, and the clouds became a path for them. The path led way up into the sky to a beautiful palace. Sometimes the sisters would peek over the edges of the clouds while they walked to the palace, and they could see the forest and pond below. It was a beautiful sight. If they were lucky, they could occasionally see swans flying past them up and over the clouds, soaring on the wind.
The path of clouds ended at the door to the secret castle where everything was the perfect size for the sisters. No one else could come into the castle because the door was too small for anyone but them. They would carry their velvet purses with them to the castle and put the raindrop diamonds from them in colored glass jars in the hall. When the sun shone on the jars, it made colored rainbows across the walls.
After arranging the raindrop diamonds in the jars, the sisters would put on their tiny slippers and tiny royal robes that were made especially for them. They would look in their tiny mirrors and sit in their tiny chairs. They would drink from their tiny teacups and eat tiny cakes. And when they'd had their fill, they would paint with their tiny paint brushes.
At the end of the day, the big, fluffy cloud would meet them at the window. They would step onto the cloud, and it would drift slowly back to the ground. The gentle wind would blow through their hair as they fell asleep on the cloud, and the sky would slowly turn from day to night. Once the cloud reached their home it would fade away into the night air leaving the girls asleep in their own beds on their soft fluffy pillows dreaming of another day in their happy world.
