Once upon a time there was a woman who really wanted to have a child, but where could she get one? So she went to an old witch. When the woman told her about her wish, the witch gave her a seed. She said, "Plant a seed in a flowerpot and see what happens!". When the woman came home, she immediately did what the old witch told her, and in the blink of an eye, the seed magically grew into a beautiful bud. The woman looked at the flower with admiration and could not resist kissing one of the petals. At that moment, something clicked, and the flower blossomed, bending towards the sun and showing the world a little human. It was you. You was so delicate, small, only an inch tall. The woman couldn't be happier; she finally had a child! A shiny varnished walnut shell was your cradle, blue violets mattress, and a rose petal blanket; in this cradle you was laid at night, and during the day played on the table. The woman placed a plate of water on the table and a wreath of flowers on the edge of the plate; the long stems of the flowers bathed in the water, and a large tulip petal floated at the very edge. You could use it to cross from one side of the plate to the other; instead of oars, you had two white horsehairs. It was all so adorable! You could sing, and no one had ever heard such a tender, beautiful voice!

One fine evening you were singing again as usual, you weren't sleepy yet, the window was open and thanks to that your voice was carried through the air by the wind. And it seems this attracted the attention of an unusual guest; you were very scared when you suddenly saw a small man with wings behind his back who was watching you with curiosity and admiration
