Smile at him
"I would like to get back up to the Willow Glade." you
say. He smiles at you and stands up. He bows politely.
"All in good time. Would you like an apple?" he says.
He hands you a plump red apple. You take a bite. The juice seeps
into your mouth, and you feel light, as if floating. He leads you
to a bunk bed. You sit down and smile at him again.
"There is something you must do. Go out of the Glade to
the South. There pick a strawberry from a singing bush, and hold
it out in your hand. A filly that is excactly two years old will
come to you. Then jump on her back and give her her head. She
will lead you to an old woman. There you shall sing her a nursery
rhyme. She will give you a three month old foal. Follow the
foal to a castle. You will set the strawberry on the doorstep and
a Giant Serpent will appear. Do not run. He will give you three
wishes and four hourses. Choose wisely." he
says. You......
You smile and nod your head. You know that your mom has taught
you never talk to strangers but what the heck. This is a dream!
