Just then a fairy came. She had a magic wand.
"What´s the matter?" asked the fairy.
"I don't want to live en a bottle", said the old woman.
" I want to live in a house".

The fairy said, " Stand up, close your eyes, turn around three times and open your eyes".
So the old woman stood up, closed her eyes, turned around three times and opened her eyes.

She was in a house. It had a chimney, a roof, two windows and a door. The old woman was very happy. The cat was very happy too.

But soon the old woman was very sad again.
The fairy came again.
"What's the matter now?" asked the fairy.
"I don't want to live in a house", said the old woman.
"I want to live in a castle".

The fairy said, " Stand up, close your eyes, turn around three times and open your eyes".
So the old woman stood up, closed her eyes, turned around three times and opened her eyes.

She was in a castle. It had a big tower with a flag on top. There were many rooms and windows. The old woman and the cat were ver happy .

But soon the old woman was very sad again.

Suddenly the fairy came again.
"What's the matter now?" asked the fairy.

" I want to live in a palace"
