Princess Elsie and the Little People

One night, Princess Elsie woke from a bad dream. She was scared, but not so scared that she needed her mommy.

Now Princess Elsie didn’t want to go back to sleep in the dark, but she didn’t want to turn on the lights because her mommy might know that she was having bad dreams. Princess Elsie is very smart and decided to take her flashlight to bed with her. So she crawled into bed with her flashlight and pulled the covers over her head.

Oh, my! Princess Elsie was startled by what she saw. There was a whole village of little tiny people under her covers! She just couldn’t believe it. What were those people doing there? She’d never noticed them before.

Princess Elsie crawled further under her covers and began to watch the little people. They were so cute. Their heads looked too big for their bodies and they had huge eyes. They were so small that they were the size of Princess Elsie’s thumbnail.

The village had a ferris wheel, and Princess Elsie loved to watch the little people go round and round on it. There was also a train that went round and round the village, stopping at different spots along the way. The little children went to school and the mom’s went to the grocery store.

Pretty soon Princess Elsie forgot all about her bad dream. She began to get sleepy as she watched the little people go about their day. Princess Elsie put her head down and watched as the train went round and round, and she fell asleep.

When Princess Elsie woke up the next morning, there was no sign of the little people. They were all gone. No houses, no store, no school, no ferris wheel and no train. But every time that Princess Elsie woke up in the middle of the night, there they were. Princess Elsie would lie her head down by the village and watch them until she fell asleep.
