smelling of berries:
– Have my wonderful yogurt, and then do as I taught. Tell me in the morning what you’ve seen in your dream. Have we agreed?
– Sure, granny, agreed! – the boy said hopefully.
So he did everything exactly as his grandmother said, and he found himself in an unusual dream. Danya dreamed that he was standing in line at the Dreams Shop, and there were two more kids – a boy and a girl in front of him.
Behind the counter there was quite an extraordinary seller – an old man, dressed absolutely like a magician. And he asked the girl:
«What would you like to choose tonight, Agnes?»
– I would like something completely unbelievable, for example, I could ride on a cloud, if it’s possible.
– Oh, you wound me, dear Agnes, our store provides top-quality service, so nothing is impossible here. Please take your order. – answered the seller, giving the girl some kind of a gold badge. – I wish yoy took pleasure in viewing!
After the boy standing in front of Danya in line made his order, his turn came. He thought for a moment, and, on greeting the seller, hesitantly asked:
– Is it possible to order a dream about that little star? – and he showed his most beloved star in the sky.
– Of course it’s possible, it is even necessary. – the seller exclaimed, giving the boy a badge. – Enjoy your viewing!
And then something unbelievable happened – Danya found himself on his star. It was so beautiful – bright colorful gardens bloomed here, bizarre beautiful birds of an unfamiliar breed and elves were flowing around, animals of unprecedented beauty walked, and there was a castle towered further, on the hill.
Danya walked around the surroundings.
Then he went into the castle and saw a lot of interesting things there. No one was visible inside, but for some reason the boy asked:
– Tell me, please, and whose castle is it?
– Of course it’s yours, sir Daniel! – he heard back.
The castle had a cozy bedroom. Danya was tired, on walking around his star, and wanted to sleep. He lay in a soft bed, covered himself with a duvet and fell asleep very quickly.
– Danya, get up! – he suddenly heard his grandmother’s voice. «It’s ten o’clock in the morning, wash yourself and sit down for breakfast.»
The boy sat at the table, the breakfast seemed to him unusually tasty. He was very happy and with pleasure told his granny everything that he managed to see in his yogurt dream.
When it was time to go to bed, he went to his grandma, who was cooking something, standing at the stove, and asked:
– Granny, it’s time to sleep, I’ve come for my yogurt dreams, give me, please, a glass of your wonderful yogurt!
The next morning, telling his grandmother another unusual dreams about the star, Danya asked:
– Granny, what is the secret of your magical yogurt, what do you put there?»
Grandmother got thoughtful for a while and then answered:
– I put there the freshest home-made yogurt, add small pieces of various delicious fruits according to my mood, and a very large portion of my love for you, my boy. In fact, that’s all.
