Thumbelina
Once upon a
time there lived a
woman who wanted
to have a child. A
witch heard her wish
and said, "Take this
seed and plant it.
Your wish will come
true."
The woman planted the seed and it
grew into a beautiful flower. When the
flower opened, there was a tiny girl in the
middle of the flower.
"My own daughter!" exclaimed the
woman. The little girl was no bigger than a
thumb. "I will call her Thumbelina," said
the woman.
