One summer day Lily and her brother John decided to travel to places, which had not been visited by a man before. Lily suggested going to the Valley of Water. They hired a taxi-plane and started their journey.

When they got there, they couldn’t find the right place which had been marked on the map. Besides, they ran out of patrol and had nothing to eat or drink. 

When the evening came John and Lily saw an arch which led to the valley. They understood it was an unusual place because they could not see the door during the sunlight. The children were really excited because they hoped to find water and something to eat.

When John and Lily entered the world of the valley they saw a magical view with a breath-taking landscape and unbelievably fresh air.

They wondered along the paths enjoying the beauty of the nature and variety of flora and fauna.

Eventually the children found a water spring. The water was bright blue and John decided to taste it. It was a terrible mistake and he realised it when he saw the consequences of what he had done.

John could not believe his eyes: his skin was ugly green like monster’s. Lily was terrified, she had no idea how to help her brother. 

Moreover, John lost his ability to speak. The only thing he could do – he could produce strange sounds. The boy could not even explain how he felt. But it was obvious that John was in a trouble. 

Lily was racing desperately in search of the way out. She had no idea how to help, but she definitely had to do something.

All of a sudden, a tiny man appeared from the ground and said that she could trust him. The man explained that the water was poisoned and venomous. 

The worst thing was, that the water had damaged some of John's body organs, but after a while they could function properly again if the person ate a renewable fruit from the magic tree.

Lily could save her brother but they needed to face some challenges. First, they had to find the magic tree with the magical fruit at the end of the valley and give it to John to taste it.

John and Lily started their way, which was difficult and took them a lot of time. Finally, they found a magical renewable fruit, John ate it and he was cured.
