What a day it has been. Everyone is tired, especially moms and dads, but the children still want to hear a fairy tale. What to do? It’s easy. In such cases, short fairy tales that flow quickly and yet lose none of their magic will help. If you’re already looking forward to bed, read a short fairy tale, give a goodnight kiss, and off to sleep you go. There will be time for a long fairy tale again next time.
There once was a beautiful meadow. Flowers of different colours and scents grew there. The grass was the greenest in the world. Every leaf and every plant that grew there looked like something out of a fairy tale.

In a beautiful wooden house, upstairs in the attic in the childrens room, a little boy was sleeping. His hair was as brown as chestnuts and his eyes as blue as a well. He was a good boy, but every night he was scared. He was afraid of the dark and the sounds that came from the attic. He was even afraid of the sound of the brook that was near their house. That’s why no one called him anything but “Scaredy”. He was afraid of everything.

In the distance on a high hill there stood a castle. Here and there a piece of the wall was missing, in some places it was quite battered and no one lived in it. It was more like a castle ruin. Sometimes some tourists went to see it. They’d go through all its corridors, look at all its walls, and then they’d leave. No one knew what secrets the castle held. No one knew what is happening there when it gets dark.

There was a beautiful town far away. There were so many little houses that they had to stand very close together. One next to the other. Lots of people lived there, but most of all there were children. There were several in every family. Most of them knew each other. They visited each other, played together, went on trips together, went to school together. In this town, there was even a beautiful playground. The kids took very good care of it. Every night when they went home, they cleaned it up.

In a faraway land where it snows all year round and in the highest mountains, a story I want to tell you took place. It happened a long time ago. There is a mountain that is the highest in the world. People don’t go there. There’s piles of snow and sometimes there’s an avalanche. That means that some of the snow gets loose somewhere, and then all of it slides down the mountain. Even if there were no people living on the mountain, there was still some life. A snowman lived there.

In the middle of a small village stood a beautiful park. There were beautiful trees growing there, a small stream running through it, and various paths leading everywhere, where one could have a nice walk. All the children loved to go there. If you walked down one of those paths all the way to the middle of the park, you would find the best thing there was.
