My Magical Bed-II


I hope you all remember my last adventure on my magical bed. For those who don’t know what my magical bed is…. I’ve got a magic bed! Oh Yes! I am not kidding but this is the real plain truth. How then, can you explain that as soon as I’m tucked into my bed, I’m drifted off to a faraway magic land? As soon as I get into the comfortable cushion and fall asleep I have a wonderful time! So I say I’ve got a magical bed! ….



To read the earlier post on my adventure with the magical bed, click here.



Last night, as soon as I was tucked into my comfortable Magical Bed went away to another far-away land. But this time this was not an Evil land as I mentioned in my last adventures. And this time surprisingly I was not invisible but I was easily seen by the natives of that place!



This time, the magical land I visited was Flowery Butterfly Place. This place was an extraordinary sight and a sure treat to the eyes! It was a bright and sunny place which looked happy and charming. The ever-lasting fragrance of flowers and the beauty of the native butterflies gave it a ravishing look.



I was warmly welcomed here as a guest. The gorgeous butterflies all gathered in the sky and then, behold! They slowly formed letters and finally words! To conclude, they formed “Welcome To The Flowery Butterfly Land” in bright and vibrant colors of the butterfly wings. The flowers too turned their smiling faces towards the entrance where I stood with a fascinating look in my eyes. Their joyful faces compelled me to beam too.



Then they arranged a feast of…of…honey cakes, honey bread, honey marmalade and even honey-made drink! I ate as much as I could (I suppose I’ve got too sweet a tooth!) To top my day with a cherry they also brought me some honey candies. I ravished the taste of some and some I dropped into my pocket to take home as a souvenir.



But while taking a tour, I noticed a small black butterfly weeping in the corner of the place. I talked to him and came to know that his name was Teene. When I questioned him abut his diminished involvement with the others of his tribes, he told me that he was heart-broken because Lord had not created him as beautiful as his other brothers and sisters.



Ah, yes! He wasn’t really a good looking fellow. He had dark wings of black and grey color with even darker spots. I told Teene that Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, as the saying goes…… “You must not be having external beauty but surely you would like to develop inner beauty instead of improving your outer one. The others will love you (even more than they do now) if and only if you help them in their troubles and co-operate with them. Forget your ugliness and feel how beautiful you are inside and I’m sure you’ll never be weeping. By the way, you sure look beautiful when you have a smile on your face as of now, dear Teene”, I said!



Teene paid attention to my words and I’m glad I could make him as cheerful as his friends! But then, as usual when I’m doing something good, I heard my mom’s voice calling for me. I woke up rejuvenated and got dressed. But when mom put a plate of bread and marmalade before me, I had a sly grin on my face and said, “I’ve already had something better than this Mom”. She had a confused look as I felt in my pockets and realized something sticky was in there.

Your stories just get better and better. How on earth do you do that?

Hi Peter Pie,
I'm happy you liked it as it's always great to know you did! :D
I'll be coming up with more of such fantasy stories for you to read and enjoy! :D

Hi Anoop,
I'm also a nature lover and I especially like the beautiful butterflies. They're really pretty and soothing for the eyes. I too like black...my wardrobe is full of black dresses and my other stuffs too. I tried to make Teene understand that she isn't ugly after all!
I hope you didn't get very nostalgic reading this post! The way you describe it, I too would love to see the sight!

Hi Leena,
I'm improving by the help of all these supportive people all around the blogosphere!
Thanks :D

Hi Meghna! Wow, another great story! Your stories are great!
Keep writing... :D
Congrats!

I am a lover of children's literature

Hi Megna, and yes, as leena said, "Your stories just get better and better."

A great writer, of course, is born. You really can't buy or earn it from schooling as such. Schooling, practice and what not can help... and help a lot, but its what is inside of you, that special spark that a person is born with that makes a writer a great writer.

You, Meghna, have that spark! A spark that will grow brighter and brighter the more you continue writing. Never stop writing and allow that spark to go out - we all would lose because of it.

Keep up the great work. Let your spark burn bright for all to see and we all will be the richer for it.

Thanks to you, I now want to visit Butterfly Land when I drift off in my own bed, but most likely I will end up in Bear Land, as bears fascinate me more so.
