a fairy tale story about a charming town that contain a blue well when people threw their pain into it then feel free for ever for no clear reason , the naturalist allen decided to discover the secret of this charming town , but he faced a lot of struggles … read this story to know more …

In a mountainous town very far from the city .. where flowers grow taller than humans, and butterflies that light up at night, a town full of legends of love and imagination and the smells of dreams, there was a deep well, the color of which tends to dark blue, built of rare blue stones, the naturalists cannot find like them or similar to them all over the world, very smooth stones. It is gentle and does not injure anyone, you touch it and you feel safe without any reason, but if you look at it from afar, you think that it is very though like rocks, then you will be surprised when you touch it and you will feel that strange feeling.. That is why that town was called the blue stone … when people travel for miles to throw their pain into it , and to feel that feeling that no one could describe… The legend says that people used to write all their pain on a paper and then burn it and mix its ashes with fresh water, then travel miles to throw this water in that magical well, and they come back To their house, they forget their worries as if they washed them…

Years passed and the fame of that town and that well was increasing, until it reached a naturalist whose name is Elaine.. This well aroused the curiosity of the naturalist Allen and he began to search for the secret of this town… Beyond it.. and where it came from.. One day he made a decision and packed his luggage and traveled miles to discover the secret of that town and its well.. He arrived early in the morning, no one was there, so the plants stood tall and welcomed him, and the butterflies moved their luminous wings, performing their usual dance.. He was amazed at what he saw and began Searching all over the place.. until he reached that well, he touched its blue stones and fell in love with him like any human being, which increased his curiosity to know his secret… He looked inside and saw that it was a very deep well that only sees what is inside of it but the darkness of it. He screamed and said :” welcome “. But it is useless…

Suddenly a very tall plant called the Queen of Plants came into that town… and said, “Mr. Allen , you’re welcome! I’m the queen of moving plants in this town.. Don’t wonder how I knew you, the builder of this town knew you were coming and he’s warning you.” No one should know the secret of this town, otherwise its magic will be nullified. The plants and butterflies will wither and their wings will be extinguished.. and that well people will forget its name.. and if that happens, he will not tell you and will not reveal the cure of this magic.. so Go back to your country before you make a big mistake.”

Allen was surprised by what he heard and said: “But the secret of this beautiful town should not be kept a secret!! How do you ask me to lose a study like this that might make me one of the most famous naturalist in the world?”

Queen of Plants: “You don’t understand…”

Allen: “ but You don’t understand…”

The Queen of Plants interrupted Allen’s speech and looked back sad and did not utter a word… as if she saw her death in front of her and could not do anything.. as if she was telling him I don’t care what you would do..

Allen sat thinking about what the plant said… but he would not be able to miss an opportunity like this.. Discovering such a secret would bring him great success… So he got up and started examining the blue well, for he believes that the secret lies in that well..

He did not find anything around the well, it was dark and the search trip was still going on. He looked at the bottom of the well and shouted hello, but there was no response, so he had an idea to enter the well, but how?? It’s a very deep and scary well…

While he was thinking, he saw in front of him moving, dead plants, so he tied them together and used them as a rope, then collected some of the luminous butterflies and kept them in a transparent box he had brought with him to put his food in, and used them as a light…

When he reached the bottom of the well, he was amazed… He saw a big white dragon. Have you ever seen a white dragon?? He saw him drinking the ash water that people throw into the well, then a strong fire comes out of his mouth as if it is the one that sends that magical feeling in people’s hearts..

He quickly came out of the well from fear, and when he came out he sat on the ground and was dumbfounded and didn’t say a word… Suddenly the Queen of Plants came withered and she wasn’t well, and behind her the rest of the moving plants could hardly walk and said: “Didn’t I warn you?? Look To us now, my people and I are withering.. We will die soon, and the butterflies have extinguished their wings.. What will you do to save us?

Allen felt the torture of conscience, but suddenly he remembered his book, which includes all the secrets and spells of nature in the world.. He hurried and opened it, and as he hurriedly searched through its pages in search of a cure for this spell, he saw a title on a page: “The cure for the magic of the blue well”, he was happy So much and the plants also rejoiced…

It was written on that page that the cure for that spell is that the person who has discovered the secret should kill two movable plants and the queen must survive…

When Allen read the page to the plants, terror reigned in the hearts of all the plants.. Then the Queen said: “Who among you will volunteer and save our beloved town?”

a twin of plants came forward after they were very tired from the effect of the spell, so they decided to die together, they said: “We will save this town.”

All the other plants were relieved, and the queen said, “You are doing the right thing. I am very proud of you and I appreciate it. Our future generations will never forget your name.”

Allen hurried and cut them to pieces, then the sky turns blue again, the butterflies light up and flutter and the plants dance their dance with joy in returning to life…

The plant came forward and said, “You are right, the secret of this town should not be kept a secret.. Now you can tell everyone this secret, it does not affect us anymore.”

Elaine thanked the plant and was very happy and excited about the success that awaits him.. He collected his luggage and headed straight away in the early morning to his country.. When he arrived, he announced a press conference and called it: “The Secret of the Blue Well”…

And when people read the title of the conference, they were all surprised and excited…

The world witnessed a great success for the naturalist Allen, and his name was published in all newspapers in the world.. He also received 20 awards around the world as the best naturalist in the world..

the end….
