the magical bluberries/ shortstory

Once upon a time in The Fhar kingdom, there was a boy that lived in the poorest village of the kingdom. His name was Lewis, his hair was like gold and he was the humblest person in the village. He worked assisting a famous painter named Salvatore, helping him with the final details of the paintings and he lived in a small house at the top of a mountain with his mother and brother. Every Tuesday morning, he walked into the forest to get blueberries, Lewis always thought that eating blueberries at night will give him luck for the next days. One of those Tuesdays, he heard sobs from behind a tree. He walked through the forest following the sobs. But the sound stopped, then Lewis realized that behind the tree there was a beautiful girl, pale as snow and wearing a big blue dress. The girl looked him with tears in her eyes and told him “does my father ask you to take me back to the castle?”. Lewis was confused but suddenly he realized that the pale girl was Birdy the princess of the kingdom. “Oh![ Your majesty I did not recognize you” said Lewis with a short bow. “I apologize for interrupting you, I was just around here and I heard your sobs” the boy continued. “Well, you do not have to apologize, forgive me for my behavior and you can call me Birdy, I have always loathed formalities” Birdy replied. After a few seconds Birdy explained to Lewis the reason of her sorrow.

“As you may know I am the only princess of Fhar kingdom, I have a lot of duties as a princess and last year my father made me go to an important ball. There I met the love of my life, hewas a handsome young prince from the south” Birdy started telling, “everything was as a dream. After a few months, he asked my father his permission for marring me and my father accepted with joy. When our wedding was close to happen, his father took him to a big battle…” She stopped and started crying again. Lewis deducted the end of her story and offered her a blueberry. The blonde boy then told her a magical and invent story about that unique blueberries. “they say that if you eat these blueberries for 5 nights long and you wish something with all your heart, that wish will come true” said Lewis with a big smile. Birdy skeptic about the story decided to take the blueberries and go back home. Since that day Lewis visited the forest everyday hoping to find Birdy again and he waited till the sun went down. Before he noticed leaves were falling down the trees and he stopped waiting for birdy. At work, everything was going well for Lewis, after meeting Birdy, he was so inspired that he started painting his own art. At home, there was not much luck for the blonde boy; Her mother had to work all day long in the king ‘s castle. For that reason, he had to take care of his little brother.

Besides all the miss fortune that he lived at home, he was never upset and he was always filled with joy. One day, Salvatore offered Lewis to present his paintings at the king’s castle. He was filled with gaiety to see Birdy again and when the day came, he bought a fancy suit to present himself to the royalty. The king and Queen were thrilled with Lewis’ art. Meanwhile, Birdy was recycling in the main balcony. Almost at the end of the night Lewis found Birdy. When they saw each other, they laughed with no logical reason, Lewis approached her and they talked the rest of the night. The next day Lewis waited for her in the forest with blueberries in his hands and when he thought that Birdy would not come, the princess arrived, wearing a simple dress.

Lewis and Birdy talked like there was no tomorrow. Birdy was confused and happy at the same time, because for once she could say she was happy and the sadness and sorrow had faded away. That day they made promises and the next day they saw each other again, and the next day they did the same and the next day after that. Finally, the summer had begun, Lewis’s career raised and he became a recognized artist, his mother stopped working and she dedicated all her days to be with her sons. Birdy was purposeful to tell her father about the relationship with Lewis, in the bottom of her heart she knew that he would not agree with such relationship, however he would understand that she was given a second chance for love. In a regular Tuesday morning when Lewis was graving his blueberries, he did not notice that one blueberry was poison ivy and he ate it and Lewis fell in a deep dream. Birdy and his family were devastated, he was alive but not quite. Doctors from other villages came to see him, but it was hopeless. Winter was coming and blueberries were disappearing. Birdy decided then to prove Lewis’s story, she ate the lasts blueberries of the year every night for five days as Lewis’s told her, hoping that her wish which was that the blonde boy would wake up from the deep dream. On the 5th day Birdy walked into the forest covered with snow, looking for more blueberries. There were no blueberries anymore, but what she did find was Lewis siting down on a rock, she approached him and she was so happy to see that Lewis’s was right about the blueberries. He was happy, they talked for hours but she had to go back to castle. Birdy walked through the forest and she arrived to the castle. There it was Lewis’ mother crying and telling everybody the sad news. “Lewis will be in an eternal dream, he will never wake up, but he will always live in the forest with his blueberries”.
