My son is two years old and last few days I tell him a story to put him to sleep. But I don't tell known stories and fairy tales. I invent them. I just start telling having no idea of the way of the story. This is the story I put him to sleep with.
Harry was a boy who lived in a small town on a distant island. All the houses in the city were of stone, including Harry's, where he lived with his parents and younger sister. The sea that surrounded was restless in Autumn, so there was a stone wall along the coast to prevent huge waves from flooding. Harry liked to sit on a wall and play a fife, watching small fishing on the high seas. His friends used to dance to the rhythm of the fife music. Dockers liked the sounds that came out of Harry's fife.
One day, Harry's fife quit playing. Harry saw a giant ship on the high seas. All the people went to the harbour to see the vessel that they had never seen before. The captain stepped out at the dock. He said the ship went through an intense storm and is damaged. Sailors needed some time to repair the vessel, so the captain asked the inhabitants to host the passengers until the ship was repaired. Inhabitants accepted the captain's request, and every house hosted some of the passengers. Harry's family hosted Sara and her friend Penda. Sara was a ginger girl, and Penda was a little bear.
Sara and Penda told Harry what happened to the ship. One day, the black witch came to the vessel, offering to the captain to take an untoward loan. The captain refused, so the black witch sent a giant dark cloud over the ship. There was an enormous storm. The huge waves were tossing the vessel here and there, and the downpour flooded the deck. It was only thanks to the skilful captain that the ship wasn't destroyed. After the storm was over, they realised they were on an unknown sea. They sailed until they reached the island.
Two days later, the ship was ready to sail. The passengers gathered at the harbour, and their hosts came to see them off and wish them a good sail. Harry was sad he had to see off Sara and Penda. Bump, there appeared the black witch high in the air, flying on a winged swine. She gave the captain one last chance to accept the loan offer. He refused. The furious witch started to swirl her broom. Dark clouds were bigger as the broom swirled. Soon, the dark clouds cover the whole sky. Harry began to play the fife. The dark clouds vanished bit by bit after every single sound. Harry's fife broke out the black witch's magic. A long melody completely effaced the dark clouds. The black witch was mad. She hit the evil magic beam towards Harry, but his fife effaced it. The black witch pounced on Harry. Sara and Penda took some rocks and hit the winged swine that collapsed to the ground. The black witch mounted her broom and flew away. Nobody saw her again.
The ship luckily sailed. Sara and Penda waved at Harry for a long time from the deck. They didn't see a teardrop skimming on his cheek.
