A 7-year-old little girl named Emily lived in a small town and was known for being ambitious, a dreamer, and fond of reading fairy tales. She was inspired by the princesses in the stories she read.

Every day she would dress up like a princess. Oh, I wish I could meet them, Emily said, looking at herself in the mirror.

Since she was an avid reader, she would often visit the library. One day she picked up a book at the library named “Through the Portal to My Magical World,” covered with pink velvet; she found it very fascinating.

The moment she opened it, a bright pink light flashed, and Emily was transported to the world of the book. When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was inside the book’s world.

She was amazed; the world was exactly like her dream. There were all the characters there that Emily had read about in storybooks.

 She was very happy; her dream had come true, and she was excited to meet their favorite princesses.

First, she headed towards a forest and saw a girl with the beautiful long golden hair, who was locked away in the tower. The Repunzle, Emily recognized her in no time. She was locked in by an angry witch and waiting for her prince to come, though Emily was much too excited to see her, but the fear of that witch prevented her from entering.

Then she went ahead and saw the palace. A kind, beautiful princess lived there.

 “Cinderella,” Emily called out with delight. The princess turned; Emily was stunned by her beauty; she was exactly as Emily had read and imagined in the story, maybe even more than that. She couldn’t take her eyes off and was immersed in her beauty.

Who are you, and where did you come from? Cinderella asked. Her voice is warm and inviting.

Emily went to her with full joy, hugged her, and started introducing herself. They talked a lot, sharing stories and laughter. Cinderella was so happy to meet Emily too and hear about her world. She then moved on and met Snow White, the Little Mermaid, Bella, Elsa, and many others.

Emily was on cloud nine seeing her dream come true; she felt so lucky. Then she realized it was getting dark and she should go home soon, although she did not want to. She left from there and came back to her world with the promise to visit again. She was desperate to tell her experience to her family and friends.

The family believed her because they knew that Emily would never lie, but her friends did not believe. And she got teased by her friends. It bothered her.

She would cry and want to make them believe, but it wouldn’t have been possible without substantiation. She should have brought something to prove it, then she realized.

And decided to go back to the library with the hope of finding the magic book again but never found the book again. She was very upset and shared everything with her parents, to which they told her that you didn’t need to make anyone realize. You are the luckiest girl ever whose dream has come true; you should feel it.

Dreams are fulfilled only for those people who are pure at heart, help everyone, and never do harm to anyone. Now, Emily had understood everything and forgiven her friends. From that day on, Emily lived happily with extraordinary adventure.
