Hauge's adventure into the fairy tale city

Once upon a time, in a small village among green fields, there lived a 15-year-old boy named Hauge. He was the son of a talented carpenter, and Hauge inherited his father's special talent: he could rebuild anything out of wood with just a chisel and hammer. Hauge's father, George, was an extremely famous craftsman. Every day he was busy in the carpentry workshop with twenty of his disciples to complete orders from customers from everywhere. Often, outside of school, Hauge also worked in his father's carpentry workshop.

One day, Hauge's father assigned him the task of going into the city to deliver a wooden watch to an important customer. Hauge carefully placed the watch in the leather bag and set off. After completing the delivery, on the way back, Hauge accidentally wandered down a small road. As he kept walking, he saw an old stone gate, covered with moss. Hauge curiously walked through the gate and was sucked into another world - a sparkling fairy tale city.

---First friend-----

Stepping through the gate, Hauge gasped at the surrounding scenery

"Where is this? It looks so strange! Have I lost my way?"

Surprised but not frightened but mostly excited, Hauge walked through the city's paved streets, enjoying the bustling atmosphere and aromas from roadside eateries. Suddenly, he bumped into a small girl who was in a hurry.

“Oh, sorry!” Hauge said as he quickly picked up his tool bag.

“It's okay,” she replied, but her voice was filled with worry. Hauge noticed the girl's panicked expression and couldn't help but ask: "Are you okay?" Did something happen?”

The girl looked at Hauge, her blue eyes shining with concern. “My sister, Lille, has been missing for more than a day. She was last seen playing at the riverbank, but now no one knows where she is.”

Hauge felt Tippi's worry and love for her sister. “My name is Hauge. If you want, I'll help you find your sister."

Tippi is surprised by Hauge's willingness to help. “I'm Tippi. That's great, thank you. I looked everywhere but couldn't find her. I don't know what to do anymore.”

Hauge smiled, his eyes shining with determination. “We'll find Lille. Don't worry, I will help you in any way I can.”

The two began their journey, asking people and looking for clues about Lille. Along the way, Tippi and Hauge share stories, laugh and gradually get to know each other better. Hauge was not only a talented carpenter but also a loyal and brave friend. Tippi is a gentle, pure and loving girl with her younger sister.

-----Meet Tressor-----

Hauge and Tippi inquired and searched for their sister Lille all day long. As they approached a market, bustling music and laughter echoed from a circus troupe. Tippi grabbed Hauge's hand and pulled him into the crowd.

“There might be some clue here,” Tippi said, eyes wide with hope. "Lille loves watching circuses."

They passed by the booths and performances, suddenly hearing a sigh of disappointment. Hauge turned around and saw a boy sitting next to a broken carousel.

“Hello,” Hauge stepped forward and spoke up. "Are you OK?"

The boy raised his head, clearly looking sad. “I'm Tressor. I just accidentally broke this rotating wooden horse. It is an important part of my performance.”

Hauge looked at the wooden horse with the eyes of a talented carpenter. He saw that the horse was only slightly damaged and could be repaired. “I'm Hauge. Don't worry, I can fix it for you.”

Hauge took out his chisel and hammer and began working on the wooden horse. Tippi and Tressor stood next to him, attentively watching Hauge's every skillful move. In just a short period of time, Hauge finished repairing the horse and also improved a few more details to make it operate smoother.

"Done!" Hauge said, wiping sweat from his forehead. “Try it and see how it works.”

Tressor walked over, tried spinning the merry-go-round, and smiled brightly when he saw it worked perfectly. “Thank you, Hauge! You saved my show. I don't know what to do without you.”

Hauge takes the opportunity and tells Tressor about their search for Lille. “We're trying to find Tippi's sister, Lille. Do you want to join us?”

Tressor looked at Hauge and Tippi with determined eyes. "Sure! I'll help you find Lille. To repay you, you fixed the wooden horse for me."
