Zbelutka and Sadków sat at the window. They were thinking about how to find eTwinning. Suddenly Zbelutka’s smartphone rang.

Zbelutka managed to say: ''What do you want me to do?''

''I am a rare flower collector and my name is Acharnes. First, you must bring me a red flower from the Dark forest. It only grows there.

Second, you must bring me a moon flower that blooms only when the moon is full. But you can only do it in the full moon of October, so hurry.

Third, you must bring me a white flower that only grows in the deep ocean.

Zbelutka hung up the phone. Suddenly the doorbell rings. Sadkow opens the door. They find a letter that writes :''Find my flowers. I will be waiting for you at the moonbridge behind the old hotel in 20 days from now.

Acharnes

A rare flower collector.''

Everybody was scared so much that could not even say a word. When Zbelutka, Sadków and Miaukot came to themselves they decided that eTwinning needed to be saved. Zbelutka said: "And besides these three flovers are not of great rarity." But they did not know how hard their long journey would be...

When friends were almost ready, someone knocked at the door. Sadków opened it and found one more letter with the same mark on the envelope. He read: "The full moon is coming. Hurry up!"

This letter gave them more strength. As there was a strong wind outside, the envelope dropped on the floor and a map of the dark forest flew out of it.

So Zbelutka with Sadków and cat Miaukot got off the house. They went too long and were too tired. Suddenly the dark forest appeared in front of them.

In the forest Zbelutka and Sadków followed the map. In an hour Sadków shouted: "Loot! It is a dragon!" But it was not the angry dragon His name is Novovolynsk. Novovolynsk saw that children were upset and decided to help them. He asked: "What happened?"

Zbelutka told the dragon about eTwinning and Novovolynsk showed them the place where the red flower was growing.

Zbelutka and Sadków thanked Novovolynsk for help and gave him some food for it - chinese spaghetti and fish. Zbelutka, Sadków and Miaukot took the red flower and went on happily.

Zbelutka and her friend Sadków went to the Dark forest and they saw another letter hanging from a tree.

Miaukot was almost falling, but Sadków caught him. Suddenly, Zbelutka heard some steps. They were frightened and confused because they didn't know who was there. It was a werewolf and he was very angry.

Zbelutka, Sadków and Miaukot started to run towards the mountains, but the letter fell from Zbelutka's pocket and the werewolf took it. They were really scared but they had to find eTwinning.

So Zbelutka confronted the werewolf and told him about his lost dog. The werewolf was not that bad, he was just angry because he thought they were hunters. He was called Ronçana and he loved animals.  so he decided to help them and he told them how to find the moon flower. They had to hurry, the full moon was almost there.

The moon flower was at the top of the

mountain. Zbelutka, Sadków and Miaukot

ran to the mountain, but they couldn't

climb it up because it was too high. The moon was full, they had to hurry up. They searched for a way to go on and Miaukot , who had a well sense of smell, found a strange stone and pressed it. There was a secret path and they decided to follow it. They climbed up the stairs and reached the top of the mountain, but there was a problem, they saw lots of flowers and they had to find the correct one. 

Sadków found the moon flower thirty minutes later and he held it up as a victory. However, everything went wrong because a giant eagle appeared and took the flower far away. Zbelutka, Sadków and Miaukot ran behind the eagle, but they lost sight of it.

Suddenly a giant hawk appeared and took them flying. The hawk was quicker than the eagle and reached it. The guys caught the flower. Finally they had two flowers. 

Chapter 5

Khmelnytskyi SZOSH 6, Ukraine

There was one more task to be done: to find the last flower. This task seemed to be the most difficult. Friends had to find the rare flower on the bottom of the ocean. So, Zbelutka, Sadkov and Miaukot started their trip. There were many obstacles on their way. Firstly, friends might meet dangerous animals. Secondly, they had no idea how to breathe and swim under water.

In spite of all the dangers and obstacles, friends began their journey. Suprisingly, they didn't meet any animal on their way to the ocean.

Having arrived to the ocean, children saw a scary monster, who guarded his territory. He was hairy, dirty and sad. Friends dared to come closer. They got acquainted with the monster. His name was Khmelnytskyi. The monster was very unhappy, because he had no friends. Nobody wanted to live in his neighbourhood, because the ocean was polluted. So friends decided to help Khmelnytskyi and proposed to clean the water and the bottom.

"But how can we swim under water? We can't breathe", said Zbelutka.

"Don't worry. I'll help you. I have magic power and can make air bubbles for you to breathe under water", replied Khmelnytskyi.

So, friends put air bubbles on their heads and started cleaning the territory. Soon the first inhabitants arrived. They were two fish, an octopus and some jellyfish. Khmelnytskyi welcomed his new neighbours. He was very happy!

"Thank you very much, my dear friends! What can I do for you now? I've got many treasures here, in the ocean. You can choose and take whatever you want", proposed Khmelnytskyi.

"We are looking for a rare ocean flower. We need it to save our friend, eTwinning", replied Sadkov.

"I know what you are talking about. Come with me and we'll get that flower", invited Khmelnytskyi.

The flower was hidden deep in the ocean, that's why it was very dark and scary. But Khmelnytskyi asked his new friends, jellyfish, to light the way.

They spent much time looking for the flower and exploring the bottom. Suddenly, friends saw a bright glow in the distance. It was coming out of the shell. Zbelutka was the first to come there and she successfully got the flower. It looked magnificent!

Everyone was so happy: Khmelnytskyi found new friends and neighbours, Zbelutka, Sadkov and Miaukot got the third flower. But now friends had to return back home and meet a rare flower collector. They thanked Khmelnytskyi and ocean animals for their help and started their way back home.

Chapter 6

Primary School in Rożnowo, Poland

The way back home wasn't easy. The children had to go through the forest. They remembered that it's dangerous, but now that they had all of the flowers they were even more determined to save eTwinning. As they were walking through the forest they met a horrible one-eyed monster who hypnotized them.

After being hypnotized Zbelutka i Sadków fallen asleep and dreamt about the happiest place on Earth, where everything was made of sweets and kids had nothing to worry about. Fortunatelly, Miałkot wasn't influenced by the hypnosis and when he realised what's goling on he started to meow really loudly, to get help.

The cat was heard by the winged unicorn, which flew down from the sky to see what happened. When the unicorn saw hypnotized children, he decided to cure them with his magical powers. He neighed and suddenly a pink streak of light came out of his horn. After Zbelutka and Sadków woke up they thanked their saviour and hugged Miałkot tightly.

It turned out that unicorn's name was Rożnowo. He was a very nice and friendly unicorn, so he decided to help children and take them wherever they wanted to go. Miałkot, Sadków and Zbelutka mounted Rożnowo and they flew up to the sky.

Chapter 7

Chernivetska gymnasia 5, Ukraine

At first the weather was good. The sun was shining. But when our friends flew over the mountain strong wind began to blow, dark grey clouds appeared and snowstorm started. After a while, Zbelutka, Sadkow and Miaukot saw a small town with a beautiful castle, which impressed them very much. It was the happiest place in the world, because everything was made of sweets. That castle belonged to the queen Ukraine.

Ukraine was glad to meet Zbelutka, Sadkόw and Miaukot. She was very kind and helpful.

Our travelers were tired and hungry. The queen gave them tasty food and listened to the story about searching of the rare flowers with interest, looked at the flowers with admiration. But something was wrong. It was her eyes that were sad and filled with despair. The friends asked her why she was so sad and Ukraine told them that her favourite pet, magic owl Bukovyna, that lived in the queen’s beautiful gardens, was stolen by the same rare flower collector.

The queen’s owl had magic wings : one wing disseminated yellow semiprecious stones and the other blue sapphires. Her eyes were like red rubies.

The collector demanded another 3 rare flowers from the queen in exchange of her dear owl Bukovyna :  the Fire flower, that grew on a red soil and the land burned with fire,

Bukovyna could sing different spells and read in many languages.

the Musical flower, that was hiding in the music castle and the Eatable flower, that grew on the Internet.

Queen Ukraine knew that

 Zbelutka, Sadkόw and Miaukot should meet with the collector of rare flowers and she asked them for help.

They’ve already had some experience in searching flowers, so they agreed to help. But how to move forward?

The weather was unfit for a flight. The snowstorm did not stop. Ukraine proposed to use her magic deer, Chernivtsi.

The deer was massive and strong. It was purple and had big horns. Only such strong and hardy animal could move fast on snowy roads and fields. Our friends dressed in warm clothes. They were given a bag with magic corn. This corn was needed for the deer. With this feed Chernivtsi could run fast and flight obstacles. Friends said goodbye, mounted Chernivtsi and set off on their new adventures.

CHAPTER 8

Dolyna school #6 with advanced study of subjects.

 Ukraine

In some hours Zbelutka, Sadkow and Mialkot were cold. It was snowing and frosty. But they didn’t stop because they had a very important mission.

Much time passed over before Zbelutka, Sadkow and Mialkot got the place they needed. It was Crimea. The weather was good there. The sun was shining and there was no snow there. There was the Fire flower that grew on a red soil. It was easy to get it because there were many Fire flowers here.

So then they left for another place to get the Musical flower. It was a long way. But children and their cat arrived to the princedom Dolyna, where there was a musical castle. It was a very beautiful place. There were many different musical instruments everywhere and everyone could play them.

But to take the Musical flower they had to wait for the festival. It took place at midnight. So Zbelutka, Sadkow and Mialkot went for a walk. When it was midnight many beautiful flowers flowered everywhere. And there was a wonderful melody.

The head of that princedom was very glad to meet guests and to give them the flower. Children were very happy to get it.

So they had to get the last flower – the Eatable flower that grew on the Internet. They knew what to do.

Children had many friends. They often chatted on the internet. So they knew that their friends could help them. Zbelutka’s friends tried to find the flower on the internet. And Sadkow asked his friends from Twinspaces to help them too.

So all their friends made a great work to get that flower. And ... a surprise! The flower was in the “Be my pet-friend”! It was delivered to Dolyna. And Sadkow, Zbelutka and Mialkot went to the flower collector.

The way took some days. But it wasn’t so hard as the previous trip. They arrived to the place where the flower collector lived.

Zbelutka asked him if they could take their dog and the queen’s owl. She promised to give him flowers. He thought some minutes and said: “Of course you may. I’m the honest collector.”

Happy children and their cat took animals and ran away. At first they couldn’t believe that eTwinning was with them. They played and played with him. But they knew that there was no time to play. They had to return the magic owl to Ukraine. But the owl said: “I’m the magic owl. So I can get home by myself. I’m not afraid of antbody, because I have so kind friends now! Take care! Bye!!!”. And the owl flew away.
