    Once upon a time in a large forest near the mountain, a beautiful little bear was born and grew up happily with his family.
    He had many friends and spent all day long wandering and exploring the forest with his friends or alone.

    The little bear had never gone to the forest beyond the river and no animal had ever been there either. He had heard a lot of stories about that forest from his mother and the other animals and everyone said that it was enchanted.
    One day, as he was walking around, he approached the large river, before he even noticed it. A dense and dark forest appeared at the other side of the river.

     - That must be the enchanted forest, he thought, but it does not seem so scary. He looked around and did not see anyone.

     -Let's take a look, he thought. It seems very beautiful!

     The little bear was very curious and decided, without thinking, to cross the river and enter the dark forest.
    Everything in the forest was green and the trees were very tall. Colorful flowers were everywhere and beautiful butterflies flew around.

     - It's really beautiful, he said.

    -Maybe that is why they called it enchanted?

    The little bear walked deep into the forest, but he had not found other animals. He was tired enough because he could not find anyone to play with, so he decided to return home. But as long as he tried, he could not find his way back home.

    -If I could find the large river, I would know how to go back, he thought. 
    But even if he looked for it, he could not remember where it was. The day had already passed and it was getting darker
     -Let rest tonight here, the little bear said, and tomorrow I will surely find the way back home.
    He was very tired and so he lies under a tree and fell asleep immediately.
     Voices in the darkness woke him up.
    -A little bear, one voice said.
    -How did he get here? 
    -Definitely lost, another voice said.
    The little bear opened his eyes and he saw two beautiful fairies standing next to him.
    The forest had come to life.
    The continuiation of the story will be written by one school at the time, with the help and the imagination of children.
    The end of the story would be written by the country that has the story at the end. The little bear may meet 
    fairies and dwarf, flowers, trees, butterflies, animals that can talk, dragons, enchanted tree houses, waterfalls etc.

    (Greek translation of the story)

    Μια φορα κι έναν καιρο σε ένα μεγαλο δασος κοντα στο βουνο,γεννηθηκε ένα ομορφο αρκουδακι και μεγαλωνε ευτυχισμενο κοντα στην οικογενεια του.

    Ειχε πολλους φιλους κι ολη μερα τριγυρνουσε από δω κι από κει εξερευνωντας το

    Δασος,ποτε με παρεα και ποτε μονο του.

    Όμως ποτε δεν ειχε παει στο δασος περα απ το ποταμι . Κανενα ζωο δεν ειχε παει ποτε εκει. Ειχε ακουσει πολλες ιστοριες από τη μαμα του κι από αλλα ζωακια για το μερος εκεινο κι ολοι ελεγαν πως ηταν μαγεμενο.

    Μια  μερα  περπατωντας και χωρις να το καταλαβει εφτασε στο μεγαλο ποταμι. Κι εκει περα απ το ποταμι φανηκε ένα πυκνο και σκοτεινο δασος.

    - Αυτό θα είναι το μαγεμενο δασος ,σκεφτηκε…

    - Όμως δεν μου φαινεται τρομακτικο.

    Κοιταξε γυρω του και δεν εβλεπε κανεναν.

    -Ας ριξω μια ματια σκεφηκε.Φαινεται τοσο ομορφο!

     Το αρκουδακι που ηταν πολύ περιεργο ,χωρις να το σκεφτει ,περασε το ποταμι και βρεθηκε μπροστα στο πυκνο δασος.

    Όλα ηταν καταπρασινα και τα δεντρα πανυψηλα .Υπηρχαν πολυχρωμα λουλουδια κι ομορφες πεταλουδες πετουσαν τριγυρω τους.

    - Είναι πραγματικα πολύ ομορφο ,ειπε.

    -Μηπως γι αυτό το λενε μαγεμενο?

    Προχωρησε αρκετα και χωθηκε βαθια μεσα στο δασος.

    Όμως δεν εβλεπε κανενα ζωακι. Ειχε αρχισει να κουραζεται  αφου δεν εβρισκε κανεναν να παιξει κι ετσι αποφασισε να γυρισει στο σπιτακι του.

    Αλλα οσο κι αν προσπαθησε δεν μπορουσε να βρει το δρομο του γυρισμου.

    -Αν εβρισκα το μεγαλο ποταμι θα ηξερα να γυρισω πισω ,σκεφτηκε.

    Αλλα οσο κι αν εψαξε δεν θυμοταν που το ειχε δει.

    Εστι χωρις να το καταλαβει η μερα περασε,κι ειχε αρχισει να νυχτωνει.

    -Ας ξεκουραστω αποψε , ειπε το μικρο αρκουδακι,κι αυριο θα βρω σιγουρα το δρομο για να γυρισω στο σπιτακι μου.

    Κουρασμενο όπως ηταν, ξαπλωσε κατω από ένα δεντρο κι αποκοιμηθηκε αμεσως.

    Το ξυπνησαν καποιες φωνουλες μεσα στο σκοταδι.

    _Ενα αρκουδακι ,ειπε η μια

    - Πως βρεθηκε εδώ ? Σιγουρα εχει χαθει.,ειπε η αλλη

    Το αρκουδακι ανοιξε τα ματια του…Και τι να δει…

    Δυο ομορφες νεραιδουλες φτερουγιζαν διπλα του.

    Το δασος ειχε ζωντανεψει…   Συνεχιζεται...

    Τη συνεχεια θα την γραψει το ένα σχολειο μετα το άλλο, με τη βοηθεια και τη φαντασια των παιδιων.

    Το τελος θα δωσει οποια χωρα παρει την ιστορια τελευταια.

     Continuation of the story

     

     Part 2 (by the 3rd Kindergarten of Giannouli, Greece)

    Το αρκουδάκι φοβισμένο από το απότομο ξύπνημα, μαζεύτηκε σε μια γωνίτσα. Δεν είχε ξαναδεί νεράιδες και δεν ήξερε τι ήταν.

    -Μη φοβάσαι του είπε η μία νεραϊδούλα που είχα πράσινα φτερά και φορέματα. με λένε Φυλένια και είμαι η νεράιδα των φύλλων.

    -Εμένα με λένε Λουλουδένια και είμαι η νεράιδα των λουλουδιών είπε η δεύτερη που ήταν ντυμένη στα ροζ και είχε φτερά στο χρώμα του τριαντάφυλλου.

    -Πώς σε λένε αρκουδάκι; ρώτησαν.

    - Με λένε Μελένιο γιατί μου αρέσει πολύ το μέλι, απάντησε δισταχτικά το αρκουδάκι.

    -Τι γυρεύεις μέσα στο δάσος μόνο σου  τόσο αργά Μελένιε; το ρώτησαν οι νεραϊδούλες.

    -Χάθηκα και δεν ξέρω πώς να γυρίσω στο σπίτι μου τους απάντησε ο Μελένιος.

    - Τότε  έλα μαζί μας στη γιορτή του δάσους του πρότειναν. Κι εμείς εκεί πηγαίνουμε. Όλα τα πλάσματα του δάσους είναι μαζεμένα εκεί. Ακόμα και ο σοφός γέρο – Νάνος που γνωρίζει τα πάντα. Ίσως αυτός ξέρει να σε βοηθήσει.

    Έτσι κι έγινε. Οι δύο νεράιδες έπιασαν το αρκουδάκι από τα χέρια, το σήκωσαν ψηλά και όλοι μαζί πέταξαν προς το ξέφωτο του δάσους όπου γινόταν η γιορτή.

       Όλα τα παράξενα πλάσματα που ζούσαν στο μαγεμένο δάσους ήταν εκεί…

        The little bear, afraid of the sudden awakening, curled up in a corner. He had not seen fairies before and he did not know what they were.

    -Don't be afraid said the first fairy who had green wings and dress. My name is Phyllis and I am the fairy of green leaves.

    - And my name is Flora and I’m the fairy of flowers said the second one, who was dressed in pink and had rosy colour on her wings.

    -What is your name little bear? They asked.

    - My name is Melenios because I love honey, replied hesitantly the little bear.

    -What are you doing deep in the woods so late Melenios? Asked the fairies.

    -I 'm lost and I do not know how to go home, Melenios replied.

    - Then, join us in the celebration of the forest. We are going there too. All the creatures of the forest gather there. Even the wise old man - Dwarf who knows everything. Maybe he knows how to help you.
         And so it happened. The two fairies caught the little bear by hands, lifted him up and flew together to the forest glade where the celebration was taking place.

       All the bizarre creatures who lived in the magical forest were there…

    Part 3 (Primary school №3, Torun, Poland)

    The flight to the glade with fairies was amazing. The night was starry and the big, round moon was hanging over the enchanted forest. The small lightening bugs were flying all over and playing hide and seek with stars. After the short flight the fairies landed on a big glade. When Melenios touched the ground, he felt the softest grass he had ever touched. Over the glade Melenios saw big, colourful butterflies flutter in the air. On the glade  there was a big, very old tree with a large crown of leaves and a strong massive trunk. As the Melenios came closer, to his suprise, he noticed a small door and tiny windows in the tree. There was a light inside and the tree house looked very welcoming.

    Phyllis, the fairy of green leaves said: "You must be wondering dear Melenios who lives here, don't you?" Melenios knoded his head, and the fairy continued "That's the home of the wise old Dwarf, who knows everything". As she said this, the soft beautiful music filled the glade and the scent of the most beautiful flowers surrounded Melenios. The flowers started growing one by one on the glade and as the flowers bloomed the small elves were jumping out of the flowers.

    And there, right in the middle of the tree, which was growing in the shape of the throne, Erimel Thunderfoot, the wise dwarf. Master of the enchanted forest was sitting, surrounded by fairies and other peculiar creatures.

    White and long was his beard, kind and understanding were his eyes, mild was his smile when he saw the little bear.

    ”Well, well, well. Look who`s here!

    Finally you’ve found the way here, my dear little friend.

    We`ve been waiting for you for so long”

    Melenius was curious why he was wanted here and that`s what he asked Erimel about.

    ”You are the chosen one, our only hope.” said the dwarf seriously.

    ”Without you we won`t be able to struggle with our sworn enemy, Orc Furiousen.

    You have to row across the Sea of Tears, cross the Desert of Lost Hopes and jump over the Precipice of Despair in order to find the Bird Happylucka.

    She will tell you how to defeat Furiousen.

    But you have to know that if you fail, the enchanted forest will be destroyed and the home of your family will disappear forever”

    Part 4 Translation into Ukrainian:

     

    І там, прямо в середині дерева, що росло у формі трону, в оточенні фей та інших своєрідних істот сидів мудрий гном Ерімель Сандерфут , господар зачарованого лісу. Білою і довгою була його борода, добрими і розуміючими були його очі, м'якою була його посмішка, коли він побачив маленького ведмедика.

    "Так, так, так…  Погляньте лише, хто  тут! Нарешті ти знайшов шлях до нас, мій дорогий маленький друже! Ох і довго ж ми на тебе чекали! "

    Меланіусу стало страшенно цікаво, чому саме його хотіли тут побачити. Саме про це  він і запитав у Ерімеля.

    "Ти є обраним, ти - наша єдина надія." – серйозно відповів йому мудрий гном. "Без тебе ми не зможемо подолати  нашого заклятого ворога , Орка Фуріосена Лютого.  Ти маєш перепливти човном Море Сліз, перетнути Пустелю Втрачених Надій і перестрибнути Урвище Відчаю, щоб знайти пташку Щастя. Вона й розповість тобі, як перемогти Орка Фуріосена Лютого. Але ти маєш знати, що якщо ти не впораєшся з завданням, зачарований ліс буде знищений і будинок твоєї сім'ї також зникне назавжди."

     

    Part 5 (Narva kindergarten Põngerjas, Estonia)

    "Of course," replied the bear cub, "I'm happy to help you, but I would like to know, why do you feud?"

    "This is a very long history," the dwarf Erimel Thunderfoot replied sadly. - There was a magic mirror in our enchanted forest.  This mirror showed the future, and if there was something bad, we did good deeds – and the future changed. Orc Furiousen fraudulently got into our enchanted forest and stoled the mirror. And now we can’t change the future. "

    "I'll give you a magic map, - the dwarf added. - A tear dropped on the map will take you to the Sea of Tears. And when you lose your last hope and surrender, you will find yourself in the Desert of Lost Hopes before the Precipice of Despair. Having crossed the abyss, you will meet with a Bird Happylucka".
    The bear cub Melenius took the map and looked around. The stars were bright in the sky, fireflies were shining brightly on the flowering bushes and fairies fluttered.

    "How beautiful!" - whispered the bear cub, stretching his paw to the glowworms, who playing catch-up. He felt very sad, did not want to leave this beautiful clearing. A small teardrop rolled out of his eyes and fell on the magic card.

    In an instant everything around was spinning, and the bear cub was on the shore of the Sea of Tears. The sea was stormy and boiling.   The sun hid in the clouds. The waves are heaving uneasily.

    For many days and nights Melenios was at sea. The boat, on which he sailed, was not manageable.

    He was thrown from side to side. The bear cub has lost hope to get out on coast. When he was desperate, he looked at the magic card and ... found himself in the Desert of Lost Hopes before the Precipice of Despair.

    Part 5  in Russian language

    "Конечно!– ответил  медвежонок - Я рад вам помочь! Но я хотел бы знать, почему вы враждуете?".  

    "Это очень давняя история, - грустно ответил  гном Эримель Cандерфут. - В нашем зачарованном лесу хранилось волшебное зеркало.  Это зеркало показывало будущее. И если там было что-то плохое, мы делали добрые дела – и будущее менялось. Орк Фуриосен обманом проник в наш зачарованный лес и выкрал зеркало. И теперь мы не можем менять будущее".

    "Я дам тебе волшебную  карту, - добавил гном. - Слезинка, упавшая  на карту, перенесёт тебя к Морю Слёз. А когда ты потеряешь последнюю надежду и отчаешься - окажешься в Пустыне Потерянных Надежд перед Пропастью Отчаяния. Перебравшись через пропасть, ты встретишься с птицей Счастья".

    Медвежонок Мелeниос взял карту и оглянулся вокруг. В небе ярко светили звезды, на цветущих кустах также ярко сияли светлячки и порхали феи.

    "Как красиво!" - прошептал медвежонок, протягивая лапу к  играющим в догонялки светлячкам. Ему стало очень грустно, не хотелось уходить с этой прекрасной поляны.

    Маленькая  слезинка  выкатилась из его глаз и упала на волшебную карту. В мгновение ока всё вокруг закружилось, и медвежонок оказался на берегу Моря Слёз.

    Море штормило и бурлило. Солнце спряталось  в облаках. Неприветливо вздымались беспокойные волны.  Уже много дней и ночей Мелeниос находился в море. Кораблик, на котором он плыл, стал не управляем. Его кидало из стороны в сторону. Медвежонок потерял надежду выбраться  на берег. Когда он совсем отчаялся, он посмотрел на волшебную карту и… оказался в Пустыне Потерянных Надежд перед Пропастью Отчаяния.

     Part 6   ....(Maria Papazafeiri)

    The little bear looked around. Only mountains with sand spread out around him. Nothing else.
    He began to walk down from the hot desert sun. He walked for hours and began to lose his strength and hope to find the bird Hpappylucka
    -I will never manage thought. There is no one around me. Who to ask to find this bird.
    Just in despair then she remembered the magical map that gave the dwarf sage. And opening it, found suddenly in front of a huge cliff, the precipice of despair.
    My unhappiness-! How to go; he thought.
    And then suddenly appeared in front of a beautiful white unicorn, Pegasus. To small teddy bear startled.
    Do not be afraid, my friend, the unicorn said. I am here to help you. Go up on me and I'll pass on the other side of the cliff and will lead you to the Lady of the Forest .Xero that you looking for the magic bird. only one
    but it can help.

    The bear without losing time rose the ridge Pegasus and he with a strong flight found on the other side of the cliff and led bear at the entrance to a cave
    -The Lady of the Lake in wait, he said.
    The bear came into the cave without losing time. But unfortunately in front of a magical landscape. A beautiful landscape opened before him with beautiful meadows, green trees, streams with clear water and colorful flowers ..
    And there near a pond sat the Lady of the forest and sang.
    In her hand clutching a golden cage that was inside a beautiful little bird.
    The bear approached and greeted politely.
    Welcome my boy friend. But tell me how you got here;
    O Melenios told her his story and that he had to find a magic bird.
    -This is the magic bird looking of the fairy he said smiling.
    Since it is for a good cause and the course will lend.
    Let me rest a bit and the Unicorn Pegasus will go back to the enchanted forest.

    Part 6   Maria Papazafeiri in Greek


    Το μικρό αρκουδάκι κοίταξε γύρω του. Μόνο βουνά με άμμο απλώνονταν τριγύρω του. Τίποτα άλλο.
    Άρχισε να περπατάει κάτω απ τον καυτό ήλιο της ερήμου. Περπατούσε για πολλές ώρες  κι άρχισε να χάνει τις δυνάμεις του και την ελπίδα να βρει το πουλί Hpappylucka
    -Δεν θα τα καταφέρω ποτέ σκέφτηκε. Δεν υπάρχει κανείς γύρω μου . Που να ρωτήσω για να βρω αυτό το πουλί.
    Πάνω στην απελπισία του τότε θυμήθηκε τον μαγικό χάρτη που του έδωσε ο σοφός νάνος. Κι ανοίγοντας το , βρέθηκε ξαφνικά μπροστά σ έναν τεράστιο γκρεμό,τον γκρεμό της απελπισίας.
    -Δυστυχία μου! Πως θα συνεχίσω? σκέφτηκε . 
    Και τότε εμφανίστηκε ξαφνικά μπροστά του  ένας πανέμορφος λευκός μονόκερος , ο Πήγασος. To μικρο αρκουδάκι τρόμαξε.
    Μην φοβάσαι φίλε μου ,είπε ο μονόκερος. Είμαι εδώ για να σε βοηθήσω. Ανέβα πάνω μου και εγώ θα σε περάσω στην άλλη άκρη του γκρεμού και θα σε οδηγήσω στην Κυρά του δάσους .Ξέρω ότι ψάχνεις να βρεις το μαγικό πουλί . Μόνο εκείνη 
    όμως μπορεί να σε βοηθήσει .

    Το αρκουδάκι χωρίς να χάσει καιρό ανέβηκε στην ράχη του Πήγασου κι εκείνος μ ένα δυνατό πέταγμα βρέθηκε στην άλλη άκρη του γκρεμού κι οδήγησε το αρκουδάκι στην είσοδο μιας σπηλιάς
    -Η κυρα της λίμνης σε περιμένει ,του είπε.
    Το αρκουδάκι μπήκε στη σπηλιά χωρίς να χάσει καιρό. Όμως βρέθηκε μπροστά σ ένα μαγικό τοπίο. Ένα υπέροχο τοπίο άνοιγε μπροστά του με όμορφα λιβάδια ,καταπράσινα δέντρα, ρυάκια με διάφανο νερό και πολύχρωμα λουλούδια..
    Κι εκεί κοντά σε μια λιμνούλα καθόταν η Κυρά του δάσους και τραγουδούσε.
    Στο χέρι της κρατούσε ένα χρυσό κλουβί που είχε μέσα ένα όμορφο μικρό πουλί.
    Το αρκουδάκι πλησίασε και την χαιρέτισε ευγενικά.
    Καλωσόρισες μικρέ μου φίλε . Αλλά πες μου πώς βρέθηκες εδώ?
    Ο Μελένιος της διηγήθηκε την ιστορία του και ότι έπρεπε να βρει το μαγικό πουλί.
    -Αυτό είναι το μαγικό πουλί που ψάχνεις του είπε η νεράιδα χαμογελώντας .
    Αφού είναι για καλό σκοπό και βέβαια θα στο δανείσω.
    Κάτσε να ξεκουραστείς λιγάκι κι ο μονόκερος Πήγασος θα σε πάει πίσω στο μαγεμένο δάσος.

     

    Part 7 Ana Nojkovska, 

     

    The little bearwith his sad eyes looked at the cage. “What kind of magic is hiding here? Will this be the salvation for my friends in the magical forest?: - it anxiously asked itself.

    The lady of the forest noticed his concern and said in a low voice: “Do not worry! This is the remedy for all your problems! Come sit and next to me!”

    The small bear immediately  sat next to the lady, but unable to utter a word. She continued: “You know, Orc  Furiosen, is not a bad man. He was the best king who once ruled these areas. He had a wonderful life, with a wonderful wife and two children: a son and a daughter. But all three got sick from an unknown disease. He searched everywhere for a cure, under every rock and tree through out the world. But he could not find it. One of his counselors, a very bad person convinced him that the disease was sent to them by the dwarf of the woods, and that if he destroys the forest, he will save his family. That is why he plans to attack the forest. But the cure for their disease lies in the beak of my bird. When the bird  is singing,  a miraculous cure is dripping from its beak. It can cure every disease on this world. But remember, the bird sings only once in ten years, and that is tomorrow.  If you hurry, you will arrive on time, and you'll save both your friends and family of the king.

     

    The little bear  thanked the lady, then he  mount the unicorn and they sprang into the sky. In his hands he tightly held the cage. 

     

    PART 8  Božena Petrulevič, Lithuania

    The Little bear went up on the White Unicorn and they went together back home.  The white Unicorn moved  the Little bear across the Precipice of Despair, and when the Melenios already wanted to say thank you and goodbye to the White Unicorn, Pegasus  said: “I  will accompany you to the  end of your journey, because the magic map, that  you had with you, unfortunately does not help you anymore and I think it would be better when I come with you”. The little Bear go up again on the White Unicorn and he tried to come back to the enchanted forest.  Pegasus was right, on the way back home waiting for the Little bear a lot of dangers.

    Somewhere on the edge of the enchanted forest in the outermost corner lived Orc Furious, he makes plans, how to destroy the enchanted forest, and as he had the Magic mirror, that shows the future, he saw that the Little bear  founded the magic Bird Happylucka  and that he hurries to rescue  the wise Dwarf. Orc Furiuos could not allow this to happen. Soon he called some of his most powerful Warriors and ordered them in any case not to let the Little Bear to reach  the wise Dwarf. The Little bear traveled on the back of the White Unicorn without providing for any troubles. They had to hurry.

    Already , when they were on the Sea of Tears suddenly came the  Warriors, they must pick up from the Little Bear the cage with the Bird Happylucka. Melenios scares,  Pegasus calmed down the Little bear with the words: "Don’t worry Melenios, I know who will help us." And Pegasus called The Sea fairies for help. The Sea fairies stopped with their kindness the evil warriors and helped the Little Bear to reach the land. Melenios thanked to Pegasus and to the Sea fairies for help

    and…..               

    Part 9 : Metin TANGÜLER, OSMANİYE,TURKEY

    Melenious and Pegasus started to go into the depths of the forest. They found the forest mysterious. His mission was to meet the old and wise Dwarf. The sun was soon going to rise. The magical bird was going to sing and then a magical liquid which would cure all the diseases in the world, would drop from its beak.This liquid was the last chance for Melenious' family, her friends and the enchanted forest. Pegasus stood by Melenious in this journey to the forest.

    The Orc had already seen his warriors' failure through the mirror. He was getting more and more angry and devised new plans to sabotage Melenious' struggle. In the meantime, melenious and Pegasus were close to the old and wise Dwarf’s home. They landed on the ground with a fragrance reminiscent of beautiful flowers. The old and wise Dwarf had already been waiting for them in front of his home. He recognized the birdcage which Melenious was holding in her hand. The Dwarf got very happy seeing as they had found the magical bird.

    When the sun began to shine, the magical bird started to sing charmingly. The Dwarf took the little bottle out of the bird’s beak. While the curing liquid was dripping from it, a fascinating and colorful bright light appeared everywhere. He closed the cover of the bottle immediately. Melenious knew this bottle would be her family's and her friend’s salvation and the enchanted forest would return to the way it used to be in the old times.

    Melenious told the Dwarf all the struggles they would overcome on the way home. The Orc and his warriors were unsuccessful in their fight. The old and wise Dwarf thought that the Orc could see where they were and what they are doing through the magical mirror. He opened an old dusty chest and grabbed a magical flower that they had been protecting for centuries in order to use it in an extraordinary situation. This flower's name was TouchStone. It would prevent the mirror from showing the future for one day long.

    They had to go to the Orc’s castle and make his family drink this curing liquid. This would cure their terminal disease, so they thought, because if the Orc saw his family being healthy, he would put and end to this war forever. Their wish would come true only once if they poured some water onto its leaves. They had to pour the water without touching the middle crown leave of that flower, because if they were to touch it, everything would suddenly turn into stone. So they poured the water onto the leaves slowly and succeeded. The old Dwarf made a wish for this magical flower to cause the mirror to not show the future for a day's length.

    As a consequence, the mirror which Orc was looking through, turned black as the night. The Dwarf put the magical flower back into its previous place in the chest. They started to fly to the Orc's castle to make his family drink this curing liquid and to end this terminal disease. His family was living in the top of the castle. They climbed up to the window of their room and went inside. Melenious made the Orc’s wife and children drink that liquid. As soon as they drank it, many colorful butterflies fluttered in the room exuding a magnificent flower-like odor. The enchanted forest turned into what it was in its good times. Now they had to reunite the Orc with his family to put an end to this war forever. And all of a sudden, the Orc entered the room and cried tears as though he had not cried in years. His wife and children were smiling in front of him for the first time.

    The story in Turkish Language:

    Melenious büyülü ormanın derinliklerine doğru ilerlemeye başladı.Gün aydınlanmak üzereydi ve sihirli kuş ötecek ve gagasından dünyadaki her hastalığa çare olacak şifalı bir sıvı salgılanacaktı.Bu şifalı su herkesin kurtuluşu ve mutluluğu olacaktı.Orc savaşçılarının başarısız olduğunu aynadan görmüş ve bu onu çok sinirlendirmişti.Melenious ve Pegasus yaşlı cücenin evine yaklaşmışlardı.Yaşlı cüce onları fark etti ve yavru ayının elindeki kuş kafesini gördü.Kuşa ulaşmaları onu çok sevindirmişti.Gün aydınlandı ve kuş ötmeye başladı.Yaşlı bilge cüce elindeki cam şişeyi kuşun gagasına uzattı ve şifalı sıvıyı şişeye doldurdu.Bu arada Melenious yolda Orc un savaşçılarının kendilerine engel olmak istediklerini ve başarısız olduğunu anlattı.Yaşlı cüce Orcun aynadan onları izlediğini düşündü ve hemen eski tozlanmış sandığa yöneldi.İçinden Touchstone adlı sihirli bir çiçek çıkardı.Bu çiçeği uzun yıllardır olağanüstü bir hal için saklıyorlardı.Çiçekten sadece bir dilek hakları vardı ve o çiçekle Orcun aynasının bir günlüğüne geleceği göstermesini engellemeyi istedi.Çiçeğe su dökünce dilek dileyebilecekti  yalnız çok dikkatli olması gereken bir konu vardı.Çiçeğin ortasındaki taç yaprağa dokunmayacaktı çünkü eğer su taç yaprağa dokunursa her şey o anda taşa dönüşecekti.Başarmışlardı suyu döküp dileği dilediler ve ayna bir anda simsiyah oldu.Ve çiçeği eski yerine yerleştirdi.Şimdi vakit kaybetmeden Orcun ailesine ulaşıp onlara bu sıvıyı içirmeleri gerekiyordu.Orc onların iyilştiğini görecek ve düşmanlık sona erecekti.Melenious Orc un evine ulaştı ve en üst katta yatmakta olan karısı ve çocuklarına hemen bu sıvıyı içirdi.O anda heryeri müthiş güzellikte bir ışık kapladı ve mis kokular sardı.Orcun ailesi iyileşmişti.Şimdi orc u çağırıp onlarla karşılaştırmaları gerekiyordu.Aniden Orc içeri girdi ve karşısında senelerdir ayakta görmediği eşi ve çocukları gülümseyerek duruyordu.

    The smile of his family has melt Orc’s icy heart. He looked at them, the little bear, the dwarf and he understood how much wrong he did.

    “I’m so sorry” He moaned.

    He fall down on his knees, and his body began to sob from happiness and sadness  at the same time. Unimaginable joy was in his heart divided with a shame and a sorrow for what he had done.

    “Sorry!”, he repeated.

     “It's because my helplessness. I wanted to save my beloved ones so much by finding a medicine that I did not care for the harm done to others. I believed that the mirror would show me where find a remedy, but instead of it  indicated only what could happen during the day till dusk. Anything I took was a failure. This changed my heart more and more. I paid no heed to others. Sorry!” ... The torrent of his own words was interrupted by brief sobbing attacks.

    "Okay" the dwarf answered.

    “Your tragedy has made you angry and insensitive. Until the end of his days, to redeem your  guilt You will play a role of a guard of the worried  and weak people. Your mission will be to comfort the worried and support  the sad, to show the light in the darkness.

    Thank you!

    “And you have shown a lot of courage and determination.” The dwarf pointed to little bear.

    “You did not step back from the dangers and did not doubt during the way. You will be the defender of this forest. The great spirit of it. You will lead those who will get lost in the thickets and get stuck in the abyss. You will guide them to follow the  right path and lead them on the proper  way.”

    “How can I do it since I am away from home, I do not know the way to parents.” Melanius replied.

    “Believe me, your path will guide you lead you to your family.”

    Saying that the dwarf began to fade and the forest covered with dense fog around. The bear saw no longer Orc’s castle, the dwarf and all the friends he met. There was no longer magic surranded him. Only the forest began to behave differently. Suddenly the trees and bushes began to split out, and a path appeared between them. At the end of that he saw a familiar glade where he noticed his parents and sibling. He started running but as faster he ran as less close he become ...

    -Melanius, Melanius !! - Wake up! He opened his heavy eyelids and his mum’s face appeared in front of the view of the forest. Melanius suddenly realized that the dwarf, Pegasus, the evil Orc was just a creation of his imagination, just a simple dream…

    He looked around.  The sun came out from behind the clouds and shined the glade.  But somewhere in the grass, something sparkling green and pink has moved. What was it? Butterflies? No, the fairies. So it was not a dream! The voice screamed inside his mind. He is chosen the great spirit of the forest! And he’s got a task, the important one. Or  maybe he only seemed to....

                                                                                                                                     The end!
