In this whimsical children’s fairy story, cloud-dwelling Holda uses her magical powers to create Elves and Fairies from tree branches. Holda grants them the gift of human language, allowing friendship to blossom between the magical and human worlds.
Once upon a time, up in the fluffy clouds, lived a kind lady named Holda. She had pretty silver hair that sparkled. Holda loved the big trees in the forest.
Holda could do magic! She could even turn into a tree herself!
One day, the trees whispered to Holda. “We wish we had friends who could walk and talk!”
Holda smiled. “I will help you, dear trees.”
From the Ash tree branches, Holda made little Elves. They were brave and quick.
From the Oak tree branches, Holda made tiny Fairies with sparkly wings. They were kind and helpful.
Holda picked one special Elf named Ask and one special Fairy named Embla.
“Come with me,” said Holda. “I will show you magical things!”
Holda showed them shiny crystals. Clear crystals helped wishes come true. Pink crystals were for making friends. Purple crystals brought sweet dreams. Yellow crystals made everyone happy!
“Now I will show you the helpers in nature,” said Holda.
“Gnomes live under the ground,” she said. “They wear little green hats.”
“Sylphs fly in the wind,” she said. “They sound like tiny bells!”
“Undines swim in the water,” she said. “They know about feelings.”
“Salamanders dance in the fire,” she said. “They are bright red and very brave.”
Ask and Embla loved their tree friends. But they also wanted to make friends with children who came to the forest.
“Can we talk to human children?” they asked Holda.
“Yes,” said Holda. She waved her magic hands. “Now you can talk to kind children who visit the forest.”
Now the Elves and Fairies can be friends with boys and girls who visit the trees. They share stories and play games together.
So when you go to the forest, listen carefully. You might hear an Elf or a Fairy ready to be your friend!
So, dear child, as you close your eyes to sleep, may your dreams carry you to an enchanted forest with Holda to guide you.
