Bílá kočička
What could the fairies be missing, anyone who sees those three lovely elderly ladies living happily in their castle in the middle of a beautiful garden would think. And yet something was missing. They longed for someone to cheer them up, to care for them. A little magic was all it took for Princess Janet to trade her family castle for a fairy garden. At first it seemed that she would not be so bad off here, but as soon as she made it known that she would not marry the obsolete king of the flower elves, a cruel punishment awaited her.
