The shabby map didn't let eyes off,
Nils couldn't believe this big surprise.
It had been accurately drawn
by his grandfather with thin brushes.
All golden arrows, dancing, led
to the forbidden Lotus Lake.
The yellowed map was a sure sign
for Nils to go to the lost lake.
Small fidget Bee asked to deny
this very bad and risky plan.
She asked to wait for spring warm time,
but stubborn Nils was really hard.
A light-blue flower shined and charmed.
It looked like it was true, alive.
Small golden sparkles flew high above
thin fragile petals, spreading light.
Nils did not hear the warns of Bee
and waited dawn to start the trip!
