In a small town in Denmark, there lived a kind - hearted mother and her lovely child. Their life was simple yet full of laughter and happiness. However, a sudden and serious illness took away the young life of the child. The mother was extremely grief - stricken and couldn't accept the fact that her child had passed away.
The mother decided to embark on a journey to find her child, no matter how difficult it would be. She took the small blanket that her child had loved the most during his lifetime and left the town. She walked through the thick forest. The trees in the forest were tall and gloomy, and strange sounds came from time to time. But the mother had only her child in her mind and wasn't the least bit afraid.
She met a wise man in the forest. The wise man told her that in order to find her child, she must cross a wide river. On the other side of the river, there was a mysterious castle, and the child might be there. The mother thanked the wise man and continued on her way. Before long, she arrived at the river. The river was flowing swiftly, and there was only a rickety single - plank bridge on the river surface. The mother took a deep breath and carefully stepped onto the single - plank bridge.
Finally, the mother successfully crossed the river. She came to the front of that mysterious castle. The gate of the castle was tightly closed, and a mysterious atmosphere pervaded the surroundings. The mother looked around for an entrance and found a small side door. She pushed the door open and walked into the castle. The castle was dark and cold, but the mother's heart was full of hope.
In the castle, the mother encountered many difficulties and challenges. She had to avoid traps and solve puzzles. However, with her love for her child and firm belief, she overcame these difficulties one by one. Eventually, she found the soul of her child in the deepest part of the castle. The soul of the child was so pure and beautiful that the mother shed excited tears.
The mother left the castle with the soul of her child and returned to the town. Since then, the mother knew that the soul of her child had been with her all the time, and she also became stronger and braver. This story spread throughout every corner of Denmark and became a touching legend among the people.
