There was a tiny village in the deep black forest. It was hidden among the moss and ferns. You couldn’t see it with the naked eye. One could only see it if one knelt down, was completely silent, and looked hard into the ferns. Then he might have seen a small village where the elves lived. There were several of them. They worked hard, they were cheerful and always singing as they worked. But one of them wasn’t like that. His name was Gloom. He wasn’t mean, he just rarely laughed and his most common words were: “No, I don’t want to, I don’t like it.”

If you look up in the sky, you’ll see the clouds moving fast. It’s not a given. They’re driven by the wind. Sometimes it’s so strong that the clouds literally run across the sky, and sometimes it’s so weak that the clouds barely swing. Where does that wind come from? And who controls it? They say there are wind elves who fly among the clouds and blow them away. There are many of them, but people can’t see them. They fly high and hide among the clouds.

Once upon a time there was a big building at the end of our town. It had lots of windows and about three floors. It was grey and at first glance it looked sad. It was a children’s hospital where sick children went. Some were there for a while, they just needed to be treated and could go home, others had to stay for days because they were too sick. Some were even brought in by ambulance. Sara was one of those children.
