One day Caroline went on a walk with her family and they came across a huge, stone castle. The castle was surrounded by trees higher than she had ever seen! Her mother walked to the castle gates and knocked softly. When she did, the gates opened and revealed a beautiful rose garden. On the other side of the rose garden she could see the beautiful painted windows and giant wooden doors to the castle.
