"I can only give you one clue on how to escape from the lost valley. You must feed a piece of crystal honeycomb from the giant beehives to two silkworm cocoons in Butterfly Cave. Only then can you rescue yourselves and the lost little girl from Honeyland forest... " The bee hive image changed back into the Fairy Mother surrounded by colorful glitter and sparkling rays of light shining all around her beautiful face. "After all of you are rescued from Honeyland Valley, the very first thing you must do is to take this little girl child to see the king and queen of Shyland. To cure her sorrow and sadness. You are her only hope..." The words "only hope" continued to echo over and over in the winds from nowhere.The pond images and the moonbeam and rainbow slowly faded away. Even the ground stopped shaking from the thunder of unicorn hoofs. The only thing left was the enchanted charming sound of chimes ringing in the air from a faraway unknown land. Jesse was too old and crippled and helpless to make the long journey to Honeyland forest. So with wrapped lunch sacks tied on sticks dangling over their shoulders, Jody and Joshua waved goodbye to their grandfather and followed Flinky the fox, eagerly leading the way to the land of the giant honeybees. Louder and louder the chimes rang in the winds from nowhere, guiding the right pathway to Fairy Waterfalls...Joshua tied the horse to a knolly oak tree and walked with Jody and Flinky down to the old Horny Toad's bridge, where the back half of the creaking wooded walkway leading to the golden city was invisible. Jody knocked her boot heal on the bridge's wooden planks.A croaking big fat toad with long goaty horns and a twisted white beard and a stubby lizard tail, and squinting with one eye closed, waddled out from under the raggedy bridge and said with grunts, '"Well. Well. Well. It has been a long long time since anyone has come to this valley to visit the Tree of Life." "What Tree of Life?" Jody looked all around in a circle and saw only empty flatland."All in good time my child... All in good time." The big fat horny toad crawled up onto the bridge and closed its one eye to warm its wet lazy body in the hot sun. Then it opened its one eye and peeked at the children. "So you come seeking the secret of how to enter the invisible Willowoods do you?""Yes sir," nodded Joshua. "Our friends are trapped inside.""What makes you so sure you can rescue them and not become trapped too?"Jody stepped forward with weary eyes. "We are hoping you can tell us how."The mysterious horned toad laughed and grunted and croaked over and over. "Oh I can tell you lots of things. But it is up to you to do things the right way." It pointed its crawly finger toward the invisible back part of the bridge. "Beyond that bridge, there in the midst of the street of the city of gold, is the Tree of Life. The sweet white honey that flows from the tree is full of the good Holy Spirits. It is called the Water of Life. "Those who drink the living water shall have eternal life and shine like a bright star forever and ever and have great powers over the darkness of the Willowoods."The Horny Toad waddled its fat blubber off the warm wooden bridge so the children could pass and warned with croaks. "But there is always the chance that you will fall off the invisible path to your death in the canyon far far below. Are you sure your faith is strong enough to carry you across the path where there is no bridge to drink of the living water?"Joshua stared at the invisible end of the bridge and held its creaking old railing and gazed at the canyon far far below. Then he bravely raised his head. "Yes, I have Strong faith to drink the living water to save my friends.""Ha! Ha! Ha!" The wise old Horny Toad laughed and croaked and grunted. "So go on then. Suit yourselves." Then it waddled its way back to the cool shade under the old creaky wooden bridge.J&J held hands while holding Flinky's tail tightly and Faithfully followed...
