Once upon a time there was a little girl.. she lived in a tower... a beautiful tower surrounded by seas on all sides... and the waves lapped on to the sides of the tower... and frothed and foamed... and seagulls flew... and she could see the northern lights... and look out into the open seas... and the tower was very comfortable... but was she happy?! she didn't think so... she wanted to go down into the world beneath... she was tired of seeing life passing by without taking any part in it... she wanted to be free... oh! u want to know her name, right?! since i like the name i will call her Dot.
one night Dot was very very unhappy and lonely and she had cried herself to sleep... and suddenly in the middle of the night she felt something brush her cheeks... she opened her eyes... and right in front of her she saw another tiny girl... with a dress made of stars... she was so surprised... she knew that the tower did not have any doors... where did this girl come from??? but she was so happy... and that girl (who introduced herself as Mini) kissed Dot on her cheeks.. held out her hands... and led Dot through the window... Dot was scared... after all she could see the rocks and waves far down and could imagine how painful it would be fall down from that height... but again to her surprise... before she knew what was happening she had walked straight through the window and out over the clouds... and there were so many more small girls and boys... and they played and talked and played... and never quarelled... but she was so scared to talk to them... she also found that Mini was not by her side.. she started to cry... and then the clouds started to touch her cheeks... wiped her tears... and even started talking to her... cloud told her how much he loved her... and she smiled... and then the sun-ray came though the cloud... and sun ray was wearing a beautiful dress of so many colours... and then there was another beautiful girl dressed in a dress of stars... she introduced herself as night... and the night and sun-ray and cloud played with her... talked to her... giggled with her... gave her flowers... and together they chased the multicoloured butterflies... it was magical... Dot was happier than ever... and after she had played with them for a long long time... she was tired... and she slept on the soft bed of cloud...
and then she woke up and found herself inside her own stone tower... she was so dissapointed... she was so sad... it was all a dream she thought... and she wanted to cry her heart out... when suddenly found a lock of sun-rays golden hair... and a tiny little star... oh! she was HAPPY! she sang through the day... and danced to the rythm of the waves breaking on the stone... next night she again played with her friends... but again lost them in the morning... she became accustomed to this way of life... only she wanted to see her friends after daybreak too... so decided never wake up... she was so happy when she slept and in her sleep she dreamt of her friends... well it wasn't really a dream... and yet she could never have her friends in the daytime... so she slept for a long long time... and never woke up... not really... sometimes she woke up... cos u see there was no witch to put a spell on her to sleep for a thousand years... and whenever she used to wake up, she was sad...
and then one day ... when she was awake and sad and looking out of the window... what did she see??? there was a nice man or was he a prince, who walked in through the window... how did he manage to do that??? she didn't know... she didn't know whether to be happy or scared... but the man was nice... he talked to her... about the world beneath... told her so many nice things... and wanted her to step out of the window... she was so scared... after all this wasn't a dream... she was wide awake... she didn't want to leave the tower... so the man being a really nice man stayed with her... urging her to take the first step out of the window... and told her he would protect and cherish her always... and held out his hand... Dot... she was so happy and yet so scared... and she held out her hand... apprehensive at first... then slowly believed in him... and started to walk out of the window... and lo and behold! just as they stood on the window sill... the tower started losing its height... and the sea on all sides disappeared... and they walked out hand in hand into the world... a real world ... with people in it... and misery and hope... and love and hate... and she no longer looked on as the world passed by... and she held on to his hand... and never let go...
well, is that the end of story??? do u want to know whether they lived happily ever after?? i think they did but i will have to ask them and confirm...
