James never ventured alone in the forest. But today, he unfortunately entered into the forest having lost his way while coming home. He was feeling thirsty when he approached a river-bank. Just as he was about to drink some water, a voice called out, “Stop! Don’t drink that water!” The voice was that of a dwarf who was often friendly. James looked at the dwarf standing near a tree. “Why can’t I drink water?” asked James. “The fairies are cleaning the river today,” said the dwarf, “If you want fresh water, you must collect dew from flowers.” James thanked the dwarf and started collecting dew. He shared the dew with the dwarf and said, “You helped me by telling me how to get fresh water. This is the only way I can pay you back for it!” The dwarf was pleased and helped James find his way out of the forest.
