Caroline lived deep in the forest. In the forest there were enchanted fairies, ancient trees with arms, and talking woodland animals. Everything was magical in the forest, and Caroline was always happy there. Caroline's family lived in a treehouse, high in the air, in this magical forest. The enchanted creatures of the forest all became friends with Caroline. One day Caroline went on a walk with her family, and they came across a huge, stone castle. The castle was surrounded by trees higher than any she had ever seen! Her mother walked to the castle gates and knocked softly. When she did, the gates opened and revealed a beautiful rose garden. On the other side of the rose garden she could see beautiful the painted windows and giant wooden doors to the castle. Her mother and father led the way to the castle doors, carefully avoiding the overgrown rose bushes. When they reached the door, it opened to reveal a royal corridor. A beautiful queen appeared from a nearby room, and greeted them with a bow. After talking about the forest and how they got to the castle, the queen invited them to stay for dinner. A magnificent feast was prepared, and Caroline was most thrilled with the selection of desserts and cakes. She liked the chocolate truffles most.
