In the middle of the deepest night, when the night is darkest, a train travels through the world. It’s big, but so quiet you can hardly hear it. Its lights are dim, like little stars. And when it passes your house, you hear the soft tinkle of the bells and feel the gentle breeze. No adult has ever seen or heard it.

Far away in the high mountains, where there was only snow and no people, lived a pack of wolves. They lived in a cave. It protected them from the wind and the cold that was all around them. It wasn’t easy living in the mountains, but it was better for them than living near people. Like a good pack, they did everything together. They were happy and they stuck together. The only thing that bothered them was the bear family that lived on the other side of the mountain. Wolves and bears didn’t like each other. Nobody knows why or when it started, but that’s what it was.

In a secluded spot by the forest there was a beautiful wooden house. Around it there were only trees and meadows. There were dogs guarding the garden, sheep grazing and a cat running around. In the pigsty, a piglet lazed around, and outside, deer and squirrels occasionally walked past the building. The house smelled of wood. Two children lived there. A boy and a girl.

In a country where there are hardly any trees, just a lot of sand and a huge sea all around, there lived a little boy. He lived with his parents in a small house near the beach. The windows of his room looked out to the sea. In the morning he was awakened by the chirping of seagulls flying to the edge of the sea and in the evening he was lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves. Because he loved the water and was always swimming and diving, everyone called him Swimmy.

When the evening comes and the night falls, the stars light up the sky. Some are smaller, some are bigger. One shines less, the other more. Their little lights are seen by children all over the country. They spread out across the whole sky and give us a sign that it’s time to go to bed. But these stars don’t just shine, they keep an eye on the children. From their great height, they can see beautifully into children’s bedrooms. They keep an eye on who’s having bad dreams, or help children fall asleep. When it’s evening and all is quiet, the stars keep their little eyes and ears open and listen to see which child needs their help.

There once was a beautiful green valley. Flowers of different colours grew there. They all had a wonderful smell. Each one smelled different. All you had to do was close our eyes and breathe gently near one of them and you would get dizzy. But little did anyone know that each of these flowers had magical powers. When someone who was lying smelled it, green spots appeared on his face and body. He just turned almost all green. And it took a long time to get his color back.
