One chilly night, Gypsy-Rose couldn’t sleep. She tossed and turned, but something kept her awake. Finally, she climbed out of bed and peeked out the window. The stars twinkled, but something else caught her eye—a little fox dashing across the yard. The fox stopped and looked right at her. “Why don’t you come on an adventure with me?” it said. Gypsy-Rose knew she shouldn’t leave the house, but a talking fox! How cool was that? She tiptoed downstairs, slipped outside, and hurried toward the forest. But the snow was deep, and the fox was too fast. “Wait! I can’t keep up!” she called. The fox sighed. “We have places to go, so I suppose you can ride on my back.” Excited, Gypsy-Rose climbed on, and they sped through the trees. Along the way, they met the fox’s friends—a wise old owl, a towering moose, and a deer with magnificent antlers. When she heard howling, she shivered, but the fox reassured her. “That’s Fenrir, our protector.” A beautiful wolf appeared and led the way deeper into the forest. “Where are we going?” Gypsy-Rose asked, but the fox only grinned. Suddenly, the trees opened up to reveal a hidden winter wonderland. A frozen lake sparkled under the stars, and in the center stood a giant glowing tree. Tiny fairies fluttered around it, their wings shimmering like frost. “This is the Heart of the Winter Forest,” the fox said. “Only those who believe in magic can find it.” Warm lights glowed inside the tree, and the air smelled of chocolate and cinnamon. Little creatures with fluffy white fur brought out steaming mugs and delicious treats. Gypsy-Rose sat with her new friends, sipping hot chocolate, feeling warm and happy inside. She had found something more than adventure—she had found magic.
