Once upon a time,
there was a girl called Ella.
And she saw the world not always as it was,
but as perhaps it could be ,with just a little bit of magic.
Ah,my darling!
To her mother and father,she was a princess.
True,she had no title,nor crown,nor castle,
but she was the ruler of her own little kingdom,
whose borders were the house and meadow on the forest's edge,
where her people had lived for generations.
With Mr.Goose
and all their animal family.
Hello,there.what do you think you're doing?
Let the little ones have their share.
We don't want you getting an upset stomach.
Oh,Gus-Gus,
you're a house mouse,not a garden mouse.
Isn't he,Jacqueline?
And you mustn't eat Mr.Goose's food.
Isn't that right,Mummy?
Do you still believe that they understand you?
Don't they,Mother?
Oh,yes.
I believe that animals listen and speak to us
if we only have the ear for it
That's how we learn to look after them.
Who looks after us?
Fairy godmothers,of course.
And do you believe in them?
I believe in everthing.
Then i believe in everything,too.
Her father was a merchant.
who went abroad
and brought tribute back from all of Ella's subject lands.
Ella!
where are my girls,my beautiful girls?
Where are my darlings?
Ella missed him terribly when he was away.
But she knew he would always return.
There she is!-Papa,welcome home!
how are you?
You've grown!
Haven't you,now?
There you go,sir.-what was that?
