New Short Story for Kids written by: Marcelo Montero
Click to read: FROG CROAKY (FIRST PART)
…One night, when all the lights were switched off, a particular dew invaded the garden, and a chorus of voices settled the air which tasted like honey.
Helen saw lights jingling as fireflies approaching them, until one of them lied on her shoulders and thought she was hearing voices whispering in her ear, but that had to be impossible. Nevertheless, a sweet and melodic sound interrupted the silence:
- “Don´t cry”
She heard the voice really near this time. Shocked, fell backwards to the ground. And then, those green and gray lights became smaller and a woman dressed with brown colors appeared instead.
Tiny and Shiny, she could even fit in the palm of a hand. Helen opened her eyes, rubbed her eyes many times, until finally, she asked what was she doing there.
The fairy introduced herself and introduced the others being with her too. They were all very sad, because had heard her sobbing from their houses at the top of the trees.
The rabbit was also there, went out of his den, the squirrel too, who left her wet corner; even the snake woke up from her lethargy.
Obviously, there was a stir that night. The worry had reached all hearts. Suddenly, the fairies began to exchange knowing looks, laughs and whispers. They had a plan.
One of them shacked her wand pointing to the sky, and an emerald green light sparkled. Then, all of them said loudly:
-”Your wish will be done!!”
And Croaky´s eyes opened by magic, blinking sometimes. Helen was shocked and excited at the same time, her shout scared all the inhabitants of the forest, who jumped with joy when found out what happened.
Helen held Croaky in her arms and gave her the most tender of the kisses. The little frog had returned from her dream, and only love, real love could make the miracle.
