When he was awake, he found himself in a
fancy land where there were many simple but nicely designed houses built on the
trees. Suddenly, he was surprised to see that her sister Amy was chatting
happily with a group of dwarfs. 
All the dwarfs were wearing tall hats and
each of them wearing clothes in different colors. They looked friendly and
cute, like the 3-year old children. The picture in front of Gavin was a pretty
one. There were green bushes and the colorful dwarfs were moving everywhere.
A dwarf saw Gavin wake up and asked, “Are
you okay? Your sister Amy is worried about you.” At the same time, a group of dwarfs came and they were gossiping
about Gavin. They looked curious about the stranger.
Suddenly, Gavin heard some loud footsteps
and then came another dwarf who was much taller than the others. He looked powerful
and a lot older than the rest, with a black eye-mask covering his left eye. While
he was walking towards Gavin, a dwarf shouted loudly, “Our leader is coming!
Please salute!”
At once, all the dwarfs stood up neatly,
gave a deep bow and saluted respectfully.
Seeing the sudden and magnificent greeting
by so many dwarfs, Gavin was shocked with amazement. His immediate reaction was
to look at the leader nervously, seeing what was going to happen next.
The leader walked towards Gavin and was
trying to hold Gavin up. He asked, “Who
are you? Where are you from? Are you from the Giant Land, the one mentioned in
our legend?
“No, I’m from Tingland, which is a country
on the Earth,” Gavin replied while pointing to Amy, “and this is my sister.”
The leader was puzzled because it was his
first time to hear this place. “Are you the king of Tingland?”
“Of course, not. I’m just a student in Tingland,
but we have Queen Erica,” Gavin said proudly.
All the dwarfs were surprised to hear that
and the dwarf leader was shocked and looked agitated. He could hardly speak a
word. Suddenly, he turned to Gavin and said impulsively, “Where is
Erica now? I must see her at once.”
