Everything felt the approach of spring. The sun was getting brighter and warmer. But let's not rush the time, because the last winter month gives us such a wonderful holiday as "Valentine's Day".

Anna and Dolla prepared for it more than anyone else in the house. All day long they had been turning boring white sheets of paper into red and pink hearts.

The day flew by quickly. Yes, making valentines is for you, a no-nonsense affair! It's easy to lose track of time.

- It's time for a bedtime story," Mom said, sitting down on the edge of the bed with a book in her hand. - But first, I have a present for you.

Mom pulled out a soft unicorn. It was pink, like the cards Anna and Dolla had prepared for the holiday. Even the unicorn's wavy mane was pink!

It was necessary to see the joy with which the girls met their new friend - the Unicorn. But then Anna had an understandable question:

- Mommy, but Valentine's Day isn't until tomorrow! Why are you giving the gift now?

-Anna, I'm afraid that tomorrow because of work I can catch you and Dolla already asleep.

Mom hugged Anna tightly and opened the book "Alice in Wonderland". And so everyone in the room found themselves in the magical world of the fairy tale. At this time, fascinated by the adventures of Alice, the girls forgot about the sad news that mom may miss the holiday. But then the lights went out, which meant the fairy tale had come to an end.

- Dolla, I can't sleep now. My mom always says she loves me very much. I never heard her say that about work. Then why isn't she spending Valentine's Day with us?! No, she doesn't love me, otherwise she wouldn't do this! - At these words Anna cried bitterly.

-Pardon me for interfering in the conversation," said the Unicorn, "but I know for a fact that I was given with love. There can be no doubt about that!

-Of course Mommy loves you, Anna!" said Dolla.

- But tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and we've made cards and learned poems. Is it better to miss work for the sake of it? And what is this "Love" anyway? How do you know you're loved?

Dolla thought for a moment. She didn't know how to answer Anna's question, but she knew that love was everywhere in this house. Sometimes it's hard to put into words what you feel.

- You and I haven't gotten to know each other yet," said the Unicorn, "Otherwise you would know that I bring good dreams to the people in the house where I live. Today, in honor of the holiday, I have prepared special dreams for everyone. I will take you into them, but only once, as an exception. There, Anna, you will find all the answers to your questions.

In a second, the walls of the house dissolved. Anna's curls were picked up by the wind. Above her head instead of the ceiling was a starry sky, but so clear, as if each star someone carefully rubbed to a shine. The girls saw their mother, father and grandmother. They were sound asleep.

- Follow me! - said the Unicorn like a commander.

Under their feet, Dolla saw a real rainbow. Like a slide they rode it down, straight into Grandma's sleep. Anna smelled her favorite cookies. And before her eyes one by one the pictures began to change, as if someone was turning them over. Here was grandmother preparing cookies for everyone, and here she was already carrying a glass of milk to calm Anna down.

The second dream was Dad's. Dolla and Anna followed the unicorn along the rainbow to the store, where Daddy was choosing a gift for the girls for the holiday. And here was another picture where he was teaching Anna how to ride a new bicycle. That's what he chose in that store.

And finally, Dolla and Anna got to Mommy's dream. The smell of her perfume and her laughter is unmistakable. Here she is reading a bedtime story and kisses the girls forehead as she closes the book. In a second mom was already listening to Anna being hurt by some boy, she was hugging her and stroking her head.

- Dolla, Anna, I can only move into the dream world for a short time.

So we should be getting back by now! I hope you realized that everyone was dreaming about "Love" today. The things you do in your dreams are manifestations of love.

Anna understood now. Love is really everywhere in their home. It is in the care, affection, hugs and support.
