Thorn Ta wakes up by the warm fire to find that it is completely dark. A beautiful little girl with silver hair is sitting next to her.

She was taller than Thornta, but she still looked like a child, and her eyelashes were silver, like a snow princess in a fairy tale.

"Grandpa, you're awake."

Grandpa? Tsunta reached out and touched the beard on his mouth, oh, almost forgetting that he had now been transformed into a little old man by the magic of the beard leader.

"Where am I, what's wrong with me?" Tara asked.

"You fainted in the Misty Forest."

Misty Forest? Only then did he realize that there was a thick fog around him, and the beautiful shrubs, flowers, and animals that were not visible during the day were out of sight. Only occasionally can I hear the cries of small birds and unknown animals.

"Where are the little people holding hands?"

"Little man? Turns out you ate Eddie Moore! ”

"Who's that?"

"You eat the poisonous mushroom, I call it Eddie Moore, and after you eat it, you will see the singing villain." The silver-haired girl said to the tower.

Hearing the mushrooms, Tsarta's stomach began to sing again. The silver-haired little girl covered her mouth and snickered, "You fainted just now, I can't move you, so I have to wait here for you to wake up." If you don't mind, come home with me, mushrooms are simmering in the pot! ”

"Mushrooms!"

"Haha, don't be afraid, I'm not stewing poisonous mushrooms. Let's go, my brother is still waiting for me at home. ”

The little silver-haired girl took the hand of the tower, and she had a nice name called Jasmine. They walked hand in hand in the mist, with no lights around them, except for the occasional blinking ball.

Tartta's hands tightened, and the forest at night looked completely different from during the day, the branches above her head like a pair of large hands with five fingers outstretched.

"Don't be afraid, it could be an owl." Jasmine refers to those flickering balls, their eyes shining in the darkness like glowing balls.

The two of them soon came to the edge of a large oak tree, a huge oak tree that had been growing in this forest for an unknown amount of time, and even three adults holding hands could not hold its trunk.

"We're here!"

Tartar rubbed her eyes, but she didn't see anything.

Jasmine laughed again, and she asked Tara to lift her head. Ah, there is a lovely little log cabin on the first fork of the oak tree, and its windows are round, and the roof is round, and it looks like a giant mushroom has grown from the oak tree.

"Let's go up, I'll introduce you to my brother Sean." Jasmine pointed to a small wooden ladder next to her.

The door to the treehouse was small and tiny, and Tartar walked in with her head down, while Jasmine almost climbed in, supposedly out of fear that grizzly bears would climb up the tree.

"It's bulky, but such a low branch might still climb up."

The treehouse is small, but it's comfortable for the tower, just tall enough for Jasmine to stand up straight. There are two small lamps burning pine oil in the room. Two small wooden beds, two small chairs with backrests and a low table. The round windows are decorated with leaves and fruits of various colors.

"Let me introduce you to my little brother Sean, who is a shy child."

Tarta's eyes widened and she looked towards the girl's side, but she saw nothing. She opened her eyes wider again, but she still didn't see the little boy in the little girl's mouth.

"Haha, old man, you're staring at Sean like this, he's shy."

Jing Ta rubbed his eyes, thinking to himself, could it be that he couldn't see it because he hadn't recovered from eating poisonous mushrooms?

"Oh, I forgot, you can't see him." Jasmine said, "He eats poisonous mushrooms like you, but he eats stealth mushrooms, and I only ate a little bit, although I can't be invisible, I can see him." ”

So that's the case, and Tsunta held out her little hand, "Nice to meet you, Sean!" ”

I waited for a long time, but I didn't hear an answer.

"Sean is so shy, he's a little scared of your beard." Jasmine pushed the tower to the table and sat down on one of the small chairs. An additional chair was reserved for Sean. She picked a large piece of wood from a pile of firewood and put it at the dining table to use as a chair.

"Come on, let's eat, my stomach is rumbling."

At this time, Tsara smelled the scent of stewed mushrooms in the house, and her stomach gurgled. They looked at each other and laughed.

She ate the mushrooms on her plate cleanly, and she didn't want to let go of even the last drop of soup, but instead of drinking it into her mouth, it trickled down her beard. Jasmine's appetite is also good, only Sean's plate barely touches.

"He's probably embarrassed to let you see yourself eating." Jasmine whispered in the tower's ear, after all, anyone who saw a plate and spoon flying into the air would be startled.

Jasmine led Tartar to Sean's cot, and her eyelids were almost touching each other, and she was exhausted.

"Old man, it's too dangerous to travel in the misty forest at night, you can rest here for the night today, and I'll take you out of the forest tomorrow. Have a good dream. ”

Tara yawned, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep. She really began to dream, and in the dream she was the same as she had seen when she had eaten the poisonous mushroom, round like an inflated balloon. The silver-haired Jasmine also became like this, as well as the invisible Sean, who wore a hat made of hazelnuts on his head.

The three of them held hands and jumped in the beautiful forest, they were as light as balloons, and each time they jumped higher than before.

At last they jumped so hard that they jumped to the highest tree in the forest.

They sat on the top of the trees and admired the beautiful forest and the pink and purple sky, everything was so beautiful.

The next day, when Tara wakes up, Jasmine and Sean are not in the house. When Jasmine was at home, Sean was always with her.

Thorn Tower saw that the plates of the three people on the table were empty, and it seemed that Sean really didn't eat in front of Thorn Tower because he was embarrassed.

The tower looked out of the round window of the treehouse, and Jasmine was picking flowers below. Tarta waved at her, and Jasmine responded happily.

"What kind of flower is this?" Watta pointed to a long white bird-like flower on Jasmine's hand, its petals were white, two long and one short, spreading backwards like the two wings and short tail of a bird. The stamens are at the forefront, pale yellow, and look like the beak of a small bird.

"I call it the Messenger of Heaven."

Jasmine plucked another, and soon her hand was full of flowers, and she placed them under the cabin, the tall and rising roots of the oak tree.

"By doing so, you will be able to bring your thoughts to the people you love." Jasmine said.

Following her example, Thorn Tower placed a Heavenly Messenger under the tree.

Jasmine led the tower to the middle of the forest, where the sun shines on it, there is a small meadow, where you can not only find edible mushrooms, but also pick golden berries that make your mouth water at the thought of it. It's sweeter than honey, just be careful, as it's also the favorite fruit of the grizzly bears in the forest.

They ate and picked, and each of them had a small basket that was almost full.

They sat on the soft moss by the stream to rest. Soak the basket in the stream to make the fruit cooler.

"Is Sean always home alone?" Tartar asked.

"Well, the forest is too dangerous for a five-year-old!"

"Then why are you still living here alone?" Shota asked curiously.

"My home was on the other side of the mountain, and it was a beautiful place, a nice town. There is an estate full of heavy grapes that produces the best wines. My mom is in charge of winemaking right there on the estate! Jasmine looked into the distance, as if she could see her hometown. But a terrible disease has made more and more people sick in the town. The crops and cattle died, the vines did not bear a single fruit, and every family went hungry. ”

"Oh my God, something like this has happened on my planet." Thorn Tower was surprised.

Heavenly body? The way this old man speaks is really interesting. Jasmine lowered her head, her eyes turning sad.

"My mother made the last bit of wheat flour left in the house into a pancake, put it in a cloth bag, and tied it to me. She took Sean and me to the forest to pick berries and berries, and Sean ran away to chase a running bunny, and I did—" Jasmine was silent.

Tartta's small hand gently rested on Jasmine's shoulder, and Jasmine's body began to rise and fall slightly.

"Maybe she's lost, maybe she's been eaten by a grizzly bear, and we've never seen her again..."

Tsunta's eyes also turned red, "Your flowers are for your mother, aren't they?" ”

Jasmine shook her head, "Come on, I'll teach you how to identify edible and poisonous mushrooms in the forest, as well as berries..."

As she was about to leave, Jasmine put the berries she had picked into a can and stuffed them into a cloth bag for her to carry.

"Come with me, and Sean. I'm going to climb over that mountain and go all the way south. Why don't you come with me to the back of the hill to have a look, perhaps the disease has left your town. "Tara doesn't want to leave her newfound friends behind.

Jasmine shook her head again, "I can't leave here, I have to stay here, stay with the people I love." ”

Jasmine's last words, Tara didn't understand. But thinking about how much I miss the little prince, that's probably it. If she finds the little prince, she will also stay by his side and never be separated again.

Jasmine sent the tower to the end of the forest. "Keep going, and soon you'll be out of the forest."

"Jasmine goodbye, Sean goodbye." Watta waved goodbye to them, and she would always remember the forest and the girl as beautiful as the Snow Princess.

Tartta's eyes blurred, she rubbed her eyes, Jasmine was gone, and a fog suddenly rose from the forest behind her.

I don't know if it's my own illusion, but the tower seems to see the sky above the forest, floating white snowflakes like goose feathers.
