Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Gladis Hoferlin. She lived in a small town with her parents and her little brother, Henry. Gladis was a kind and caring girl who always loved to help others. One night, as she lay in bed, she had the most amazing dream.
In her dream, Gladis found herself in a beautiful forest. The trees were tall and green, and the flowers were blooming in all colors of the rainbow. As she walked through the forest, she heard the sound of birds singing and the laughter of children playing. Gladis followed the sound of the laughter and came to a clearing in the forest.
In the clearing, there was a group of children playing. They were all dressed in colorful clothes, and they were having so much fun. Gladis watched them for a while, and then she decided to join in the fun. She ran over to the children and started playing with them.
Gladis played with the children for hours. They played hide-and-seek, tag, and jump rope. They laughed and talked, and they had the best time ever. As the sun started to set, it was time for Gladis to go home. She said goodbye to the children and promised to come back and play again soon.
As Gladis walked back through the forest, she thought about the wonderful time she had playing with the children. She realized that she had made new friends, and she couldn't wait to see them again. When she got home, she told her parents all about her dream, and they were so happy for her.
The next day, Gladis went back to the forest to play with her new friends. She found them in the same clearing, and they were just as happy to see her as she was to see them. They played together for hours, and they had even more fun than they had the day before.
Gladis continued to go back to the forest to play with her friends every day. She loved spending time with them, and she always had the best time. One day, Gladis's friends told her that they were going to have a party. They invited Gladis to come, and she was so excited.
The party was held in the forest, and it was everything that Gladis had ever dreamed of. There was music, dancing, and food. Gladis and her friends played games and told stories. They laughed and talked, and they had the best time ever.
As the party was winding down, Gladis's friends told her that they had a surprise for her. They led her to a clearing in the forest, and there, in the middle of the clearing, was a beautiful castle. The castle was made of white stone, and it had a tall tower with a golden roof.
Gladis's friends told her that the castle was a gift for her. They said that she had been such a good friend to them, and they wanted to give her something special. Gladis was so happy. She thanked her friends and gave them all big hugs.
Gladis and her friends went inside the castle, and they explored every room. They found a grand ballroom, a library, a kitchen, and even a dungeon. Gladis was amazed by the castle, and she couldn't believe that it was hers.
Gladis and her friends lived happily ever after in the castle. They played together every day, and they always had the best time. Gladis was so grateful for her friends, and she knew that she would never forget them.
