Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Lisa. She lived together with her mum and dad. And living with them was her nan, who loved reading fairy tales to her granddaughter — beautiful and magical ones. In Lisa's room there were many, many cupboards, and in each of them were lots of books.
Lisa was a very kind girl. And everything would have been fine, if not for one great sorrow — her eyes couldn't see, she was born blind. But despite this misfortune, she believed in miracles and very often dreamed. She had a cherished dream — even if just for a little while, even just once, to see her mum, dad and nan — her whole family.
One evening, as usual, Lisa went to bed. Her nan read her a bedtime story, tucked her granddaughter in, kissed her and wished her goodnight. Lisa fell fast asleep.
And suddenly the whole room was illuminated by rays of bright light, the room became bright as if it were daytime. A Fairy Tale had come to visit the girl and lit up her room with a magic lantern.
She gently tugged Lisa by the shoulder and said:
Wake up, Lisa, it's time for us to go!
What? Where are we going and how? I can't see anything!
Lisa was surprised.
Don't you want to start seeing?
Of course I do! My dearest wish is to see Mum, Dad and Nan! But is it even possible?
Everything is possible, you just have to want it really, really badly! Let's fly!
What will we fly on?
Well, how about on him!
The Fairy Tale pointed towards a toy — a pink unicorn that Dad had given the girl for her birthday. The Fairy Tale touched the toy with her magic lantern, and the unicorn came to life. He flapped his wings, picked up Lisa and the Fairy Tale, and soared upwards.
They flew through the night sky, stars sparkled all around, and the moon lit their way.
And finally they arrived on the Moon. Before them stood a beautiful palace with golden windows. Surrounding the palace was a magnificent garden where different flowers bloomed and bright, colourful long-tailed birds flew about. The unicorn rushed off to nibble grass, because he was very hungry. Lisa ran to smell the flowers. And the Fairy Tale sat down on a tree stump and began searching for something in a magic book.
Lisa ran up to the Fairy Tale and asked:
What are you looking for?
I want to find the magic words that will help us restore your sight.
The Fairy Tale answered.
For a long time she turned page after page, and suddenly exclaimed:
Found it! You need to wait until morning and at dawn wash your face with lunar dew from all these flowers. Lunar dew is magical and your eyes will be able to see. At last you'll see your mum, dad and nan.
The Fairy Tale said to Lisa.
Lisa couldn't wait for morning and didn't close her eyes all night.
Morning came, on the Moon the birds began to wake up and sing their ringing songs. Beautiful flowers opened and dew sparkled on their petals.
Lisa approached each flower, collected the dew in a crystal bowl and washed her eyes. And suddenly light illuminated everything around her, before her she saw the Fairy Tale — a beautiful, lovely young woman with long wavy golden hair.
Can it be that I can see! There's so much that's interesting, amazing and beautiful all around! Can it be that this isn't a dream and all this really happened to me?
The girl squeezed her eyes tightly shut and… woke up at home in her own bed.
Mum, Dad, I can see! I can see, I'm healed!
Lisa cried out.
Mum, Dad and Nan rushed into the room.
You're all so beautiful! This is exactly how I imagined you!
Lisa said.
That's the kind of magical story that happened to the girl Lisa. But was it really a Fairy Tale?
Read fairy tales, they teach us to believe in miracles!
