THE MAGIC GARDEN

Once upon a time, there was a young girl, called Mandy.

Mandy was a very adventurous person. She liked going to the seaside, to the woods, to the mountains and other places with her parents.

One day, Mandy was exploring her new small-town neighbourhood, when she came to a garden.

She entered the garden, through a golden gate.

The garden was very large and most beautiful to look at.

There were sparkling fountains, ornaments, flowery bushes, small trees, beds of vibrant flowers, little ponds and stepping stone pathways.

For a moment, Mandy gazed at the ornaments. All of them were of Elemental beings. Fairies, gnomes, dwarves, unicorns, dragons and goblins.

The strange thing was, they looked alive, as if they had lives of their own.

As Mandy began to walk round the garden, something remarkable happened.

The ornaments did come to life.

Dragons and fairies took to the air and started flying about. Dwarves and goblins began to parade along paths. Gnomes danced around ponds. Unicorns moved about.

Mandy was mesmerized by it all.

Ornaments came to life wherever she went.

It really was a magical sight to behold.

However, it all stopped when Mandy returned to the gate.

The ornaments returned to their positions.

Mandy glanced around one last time, then left the garden.

The memory of her wonderful experience lived within her.

Happily ever after.
