Once upon a time, perhaps only in fairy tales, there stood a huge castle on the highest point of a hill in the Dimbes. It was no ordinary palace! It had a marble floor, was decorated with jewels, and had the special feature of having a huge rainbow shining over it every day.
This castle was the home of Princess Lili. The little princess loved living here. Every day she admired the beautiful place where the palace was built! From the window of her room she could see the rainbow and the nearby lake full of swans.
No wonder Lili had a very happy childhood in the palace. Thanks to her kindness, the animals were very fond of her, even the shy deer and the bunny rabbit were not afraid of her.
One day, however, when Lili woke up, she felt a great sadness. The reason was nothing other than a strange dream. In the night, she had turned into a huge rainbow in her sleep and had seen the whole country. His friends were the sun and the clouds, and at night he chatted with the moon and the stars.
But in the morning, when he opened his eyes, he realised it was just a dream. The small animals and his mother could not comfort him. From that day on, she wanted to be a rainbow.
The animals of the forest - the bunnies, the deer, the squirrels and the birds - wondered what to be. Suddenly the cleverest animal in the forest, the wise owl, spoke up:
- Friends, let's make Lili a princess dress that makes her feel like a real rainbow!
All the animals really liked the idea. But they had one problem: they had no material, no thread, not even a needle. So they asked Lili's mother for help. Of course, there was no question that the Queen would join them and together they would make this beautiful dress.
For three days and three nights, they sewed Lili's dress over and over again. To make it shine even more beautifully, they sprinkled it with glitter. It was late when they finished, so they packed it carefully and hid it by Lili's bed.
When the little princess woke up in the morning, she couldn't believe her eyes! The dress was so dazzling that all her gloom was gone. And the little forest animals, the king and queen were filled with joy that Lili's dream had come true. And Lili knew that she had loving parents and true friends who would cheer her up and come to her aid in every situation.
