A soft, sweet, melodious song
Called me out from my deep sleep-
I woke up and walked out from my little room.
It was dark outside, the night was moonless
There were thousands of twinkling stars up above,
But their beauty was cold and indifferent-
They did not care about me.
I walked along the path through the woods
Thousands of fireflies twinkled like stars,
They were amicable, caring and lovely.
I also saw some fiery eyes of wild beasts-
But I wasn’t worried much, I held a fire.
I walked and walked through the night
Until it dawned near the green hills,
There, I entered the valley of wonders.
