            “Is it the well that Mrs.Miller told to me and Michael ?”, asked Hanna.

            “I think I know him. He’s Michael. Michael !”, called Hanna.

            Then, Michael went out from the well.

            “Hanna ! You don’t know how glad I am to see you again. The well was so horrible. It was right that you can see beautiful things inside it, but when the fairy took you go with her, he whole things become so dark and the people are old. It was scarya”, explained Michael.
