The FOREST

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful forest. In the forest, there were three princesses. They were called Sam, Vic and Liana. They loved to go into the forest and play there. They would bring home many stones and flowers for their mother. The trees were their friends and they would watch them play the whole day long. The sun would shine brightly not only in the forest, but in their village too.
One day, something different happened. The sun did not shine. There was a strong wind and it rained the whole day. The princesses could not go to the forest and they hated it. They waited for the next day.
The next day, the day after, and for many days, it rained and rained. The princesses complained to their mother. They were lonely without the trees and animal friends from the forest. Their mother told them to smile and not to complain. She said that if the wind-gods were to hear the princesses complaining, then they might take the sun away. Each of the princesses, listened to their mother and began to do something indoors. Sam drew a beautiful design, Vic sang songs and Liana danced.
The next morning, their mother woke them up and asked them to open their bedroom windows. They cried out aloud with joy, as they saw the sun shining brightly and no rain. That day, they could go to the beautiful forest and meet their friends.
