00:00Once upon a time in a kingdom made of candy, there lived a girl named Mia, who was known throughout the land for her beautiful singing voice.
00:10Every day she would walk through the chocolate streets, past the gingerbread houses with gumdrop chimneys and sing songs that made everyone's heart melt like the finest Swiss chocolate.
00:21One day, while walking through the candy cane forest, Mia came across a small cottage made of vanilla wafers and gum paste.
00:30She had never seen this cottage before and curiosity got the better of her, so she walked up to the door and knocked.
00:37Hello! she called out, her voice echoing through the empty cottage.
00:41Is anyone home?
00:43As she waited for a reply, she heard the sound of footsteps inside the cottage.
00:47The door opened, and to Mia's surprise, she found herself face to face with an old woman, who seemed to be made out of the cottage itself, as if she were one with a house.
00:58Who's there?
00:59The old woman asked in a raspy voice.
01:02It's me!
01:03Mia!
01:03She replied.
01:04I'm just passing by, and I could unhelp but wonder who lives in this beautiful cottage.
01:10The old woman smiled.
01:12Her eyes twinkling like the sugar crystals on a candy apple.
01:15Why?
01:16This is the house of lost things, my dear, and I am the caretaker.
01:21Mia's eyes widened.
01:22The house of lost things, she whispered.
01:25Realizing that all the lost items that had turned up in the river near her home had come from here.
01:30Yes, the old woman said, her gaze turning distant.
01:34And sometimes when someone very special comes along, I let them take something with them, something to help them on their way.
01:42She stepped aside, revealing a table covered with a white cloth.
01:46On it sat the most beautiful pair of shoes Mia had ever seen.
01:51They were made of pure white satin and silver, shimmering like stars.
01:56A tiny bell was attached to each shoe, and when the old woman lifted one of them, the bell chimed softly.
02:03Are these the shoes for me?
02:06Mia asked, her voice filled with awe.
02:08The old woman nodded.
02:10I believe so, my dear.
02:12Try them on and see how they fit.
02:14As Mia slipped her feet into the shoes, she felt a surge of magic, like stepping into a dream.
02:20The shoes fit perfectly.
02:23And when she stood up, she noticed that the bells were now tied together with a silver ribbon.
02:28What are these shoes for?
02:30Mia asked, her heart pounding with excitement.
02:33They are magical shoes, my dear, the old woman replied, her voice barely a whisper.
02:40They will allow you to walk through the dreams of sleeping people and bring them sweet dreams or take away their nightmares.
02:47Mia gasped, oh, that's wonderful, but why me?
02:51What makes me so special?
02:53The old woman smiled mysteriously.
02:56You have a kind heart, my dear, and a beautiful singing voice.
03:00You use your voice to bring joy to others.
03:04Now you must use these shoes to bring magic to their dreams.
03:08Mia thanked the old woman and put on the shoes, eager to start her new adventure.
03:12As soon as she stepped outside, she felt the magic tingling in her toes.
03:17With a deep breath, she closed her eyes and began to walk, following the path lit by the shimmering bells.
03:23Where the shoes led her, she didn't know, but she was ready to bring magic to whoever needed it in the kingdom of candy.
03:30And so, with a heart full of wonder and a song in her voice, Mia set off into the night.
03:37Dancing along the path, the magical shoes guiding her every step of the way.
03:42Dancing along the path, the magical shoes guiding her every step of the way.
