A love story set in a woodland

Your Daddy’s a hero in a faraway place, loving and missing your beautiful face. The angels are watching him every day, because every night for his safety we pray. Even though he had to go, he just wanted you to know: that he loves you every day and he knows you wish he could have stayed. Even though he could not, all the times are not forgotten, that he gave you goodnight kisses. And all the smiles that he misses. The way he watched you grow and grow, the last time he got to say hello. All the times you laughed together, and played outside in gorgeous weather. Just this morning your Daddy told me that he missed his little balayage. He loves you more than you can know, even though he had to go. One day soon he’ll come home to you, and on that day a single hug and kiss will just not do. He’ll shower you with so much love, because you are all he ever thinks of. Every night when you go to bed, and bedtime stories have been read. A single hug and kiss is not enough and you’re tired of being tough.Let me hold you in my arms, and tell you stories of Daddy’s charms. I’ll remind you I miss him too, and sometimes it makes me a little blue. We both love Daddy and miss him silly, and he will be home soon enough, really. Really.

A differenza delle altre sirene, che amavano giocare tra le onde, Giorgia sognava di scoprire i segreti del mare e le meraviglie che si nascondevano oltre la barriera corallina. Un giorno, mentre esplorava una grotta luminosa, trovò una conchiglia dorata che brillava di luce propria. Quando la toccò, sentì una voce sussurrare: "Chi trova questa conchiglia avrà il dono di viaggiare tra i mondi". Giorgia, emozionata, decise di scoprirne il mistero. Guidata da Delfo, il suo amico delfino, Giorgia intraprese un viaggio straordinario tra antichi relitti sommersi, grotte incantate e città di corallo dimenticate. Ma lungo il cammino, dovette affrontare Ondra, il re delle onde capricciose, che voleva impossessarsi della conchiglia magica. Con astuzia e coraggio, Giorgia capì che il vero potere non era nella conchiglia, ma nel suo spirito avventuroso e nella forza dell’amicizia. Così, con l’aiuto dei suoi amici del mare, riuscì a salvare la conchiglia e a riportare la pace nelle profondità marine. Da quel giorno, Giorgia non smise mai di esplorare e raccontare ai suoi amici le sue incredibili avventure, dimostrando che la curiosità e il cuore coraggioso possono trasformare ogni sogno in realtà.

Eines Tages traf er Ece, eine freche Prinzessin aus Türkei die zwar einen menschlichen Körper hatte, aber mit Hasenohren gesegnet war. Sie neckte Stefan oft und machte aufregende Dinge ohne ihn. „Du bist nur gut genug, um den Parkplatz zu bewachen!“, rief sie kichernd. Ece liebte Abenteuer. Sie ging auf Drachenjagd, aß das leckerste Eis der Stadt und erlebte lustige Ausflüge – immer ohne Stefan. Der arme Prinz mit dem Bärenkopf fühlte sich oft allein. „Warum lässt sie mich nie mitkommen?“, fragte er sich. Doch Stefan gab nicht auf. Trotz Eces Neckereien blieb er freundlich und höflich. Eines Tages sprach er sie an: „Ece, vielleicht könnten wir eines deiner Abenteuer zusammen erleben. Ich möchte nicht nur für den Parkplatz da sein!“ Ece schaute ihn überrascht an und lächelte. „Weißt du, Stefan, ich habe dich die ganze Zeit getestet. Du bist stark, geduldig und freundlich. Ich glaube, ich mag dich.“ Stefan war erstaunt, aber auch froh. Er lächelte zurück. Von diesem Tag an erlebten der Bärenprinz und die Prinzessin mit den Hasenohren ihre Abenteuer gemeinsam. Sie jagten Drachen, aßen Eis und erkundeten die Welt – zusammen. Und am Ende, obwohl sie aus verschiedenen Welten und Religionen kamen, heirateten sie.
