One day, she found an old room in the secret 

passage of the palace. She spotted an old 

chest. "Locked!" she sighed. Then she found a 

brass key on a broken table. "There's the key!" 

she exclaimed. She opened up the chest with 

the key. She rummaged through the old scrolls 

that had yellowed over time. At the bottom of 

the chest, there was a flute. "I love the flute!" 

she cried. Cleopatra started to play it. 

Suddenly...

Whooosh! Cleopatra opened her eyes. She 

found herself in a magical place. "Where am 

I?" she wondered. Then she looked around. 

She saw mountains and a rainbow. Next to her 

was a unicorn! Cleopatra looked up. Above her 

was a pegasus and a beautiful red bird! "I 

must be dreaming," Cleopatra thought. 

"Somebody pinch me."

Cleopatra saw a little girl skipping down the road. "Gretel?"

"How do you know my name?" Gretel asked.

"I heard the tale about you and Hansel," she replied. "My name is Cleopatra."

 "Nice to meet you. Welcome to the land of fairy tales. Would you like me to show you around?"

"Yes, but I came from a place far from here. I have to get back home soon," said Cleopatra.

"Don't worry, we'll get you back home. All wishes come true here. We'll go to see the mermaids first."

"Mermaids? I love mermaids!" exclaimed Cleopatra. Gretel gave a loud whistle and the pegasus came right out of the sky. "Hop on!" cried Gretel. Then the pegasus took off. 

Cleopatra and Gretel arrived at the mermaids. There was a 

beautiful waterfall with 2 mermaids swimming at the bottom. 

"Cleopatra, this is Catherine and that's Joseph."

"Hello. I'm Cleopatra."

"My name is Catherine. A little something you should know about 

me is that I love playing the flute."

"I love playing the flute too! That is how I got here. I found an 

old flute in an abandoned room and played it. The next thing I 

knew I was here!"

"That is very strange," said Catherine. Here, take this lily so 

that you will always remember me. And you should really go see 

the fairies. They will make you fly!"

"Thank you, Catherine," said Cleopatra.

"We must be on our way!" said Gretel. "See you later!" Gretel 

called as they got on the pegasus. The mermaids waved. 

Cleopatra waved back, and off they went.
