Alice lived in a small house on the outskirts of the village. Although her parents worked in the field from morning till night, they led a modest and poor life. Certainly, how to get rich under such circumstances. Strong hurricanes often happened there, they spoiled and destroyed crops.

And one day, when father and mother had gone to work, heavy clouds brooded over the house, lightning flashed, a strong hail started, and then the wind broke out. It was of such a force that it began to demolish all the buildings around, to smash the boats into pieces at the nearest marina.

Alice was very scared, she climbed onto her bed and pulled cover over her head. That way she had been sitting until she felt that the house was got off the ground and carried in an unknown direction.

The girl ran up to the window and looked down – they had already passed her native village, flew across the lake, mountains, some city. And then everything began to spin and disappeared before her eyes.

When Alice woke up, she realized that the house did not fly anywhere. She got up and looked out of the window. There was a sunny lawn dotted with different flowers in front of her. The butterflies were flying and the birds were singing, so the girl left the house and went to look around.

She walked a little, picked flowers, twisted a wreath from them, lay down on the grass, admiring the azure cloudless sky, but suddenly her eyes became round in surprise – about a meter away some tiny creature, similar to a girl with wings, was hovering over her.

– Who are you? – Alice asked.

– I’m Josephine from the Elves Valley. – the creature said with a friendly smile. – Nice to meet you! Who are you, and where did you come from?

Alice introduced herself politely and told her tragic story. Josephine listened carefully to her:

– What a sad story – your mom and dad are probably drown in their sorrow, they think that you no longer exist. I feel sorry for them.

But there is also a bright side in this – you are safe and sound, which means you can return home if you find the way there.

In the meantime, I suggest you to get acquainted with our country – Elves Valley. I really hope you’ll like it here.

However, you cannot go to us like that – you are too big, you can spoil our flower fields. It will be necessary to reduce you. Now I’m flying for a magic wand.

Soon, Josephine returned, as promised, taking with her the magic wand. She waved it, mumbled some spell in an incomprehensible language, and Alice turned into an elf girl.

– Now, fly after me, but quietly, otherwise you will bump into something! – Josie commanded cheerfully.

And they flew among the huge flowers that gave off a strong and pleasant aroma. Oh, what a wonderful flight it was!

Elves Valley ostretched for hundreds of kilometers and seemed endless. Its inhabitants lived in neat little houses. In the forest, which was nearby, there roamed fireflies and gnomes.
