About this ebook
Today’s way of life offers very few opportunities to get to know nature and all its beauty. An over-technologized world provides each of us, and our children, mostly with the images displayed on a smartphone, tablet, or TV screen. Too often, they feature horror and action heroes instead of animals; and with misguided fairy tales full of strange, distorted figures that radiate evil and fear. In our rushed and stressful lives, there is little time to read a heartfelt fairy tale or story to children that shows a world whose values differ from those on display in pop culture.
Prevalent in all areas of life is deceit, which combined with the unbridled desire for power and its consequences, are the greatest cause of mankind’s rapidly accelerating moral decline. It always begins with the upbringing of children. The environment where the child lives, how it is raised, and what values are instilled in childhood, greatly determine how it will behave throughout his or her adult life.
Familiarisation with nature, and its effects on human beings and the environment, is a critical part of childhood. For this reason, we would like to remind you how important it is to ensure every child is familiar with nature and its inhabitants. For it is within children that compassion and a loving relationship with all things – both living and inanimate – must first be awakened. Through compassion and love, a child comes to realize that by damaging and ignoring the laws of nature, mankind is headed for self-destruction. Through the fairy tales shared in this book, children will understand that they can live much more beautiful lives than people are living today. Importantly, the message is clear that they have to create this beauty themselves.
Parents, it is up to you to encourage your children to become intimately familiar with nature. You can do this with both awe-inspiring fairy tales filled with earthly creatures and animals, as well as simply taking them for a walk in the woods or a nearby park.
With Neverending Fairy Tales, we seek to contribute to the formation of a generation that fully appreciates the gifts bestowed by nature; for which without, we would not be able to survive.

The Flute and the Dog
Once upon a time when the sun was still shining brighter and more beautiful, and the moon was smiling much heartier at the earth, there lived a boy. He lived alone with his dog in a tiny cottage at the edge of the forest near a large river.
Not far away, there was a village, where people had strange stories about this young man, mostly because he was able to play his flute in a bizarre manor.
He was playing so splendidly that nature as a whole started to dance and his faithful dog was jumping around with joy on his hind paws. The boy ate fruit from the forest and every now and then, villagers brought him something to eat. He always played them a beautiful song in return. Every morning at sunrise as if in a daze, the little boy took his flute and began to play. He played for a long time. People thought that the music was coming somewhere from heaven. The melody made them feel something strange, a desire for something they could not understand. And then... then they just stirred and went back to their daily routine.
Unfortunately, in some of the villagers, the sound of the flute evoked feelings of hatred. But those villagers were evil, they craved only wealth and power. And the voice of the flute that the boy produced aroused the conscience in them which echoed every time:
Why do you need so much wealth? Just see with your heart and you will see much more beautiful values.
But their thoughts were as cold as ice. The cold reason froze their emotions and nice thoughts and replaced them with: Wealth brings power. You have to destroy the boy and the whistle! You have to! You just have to!
