Once upon a time there was a little angel who lived in heaven. With its beautiful colours and lovely music she knew she belonged there and was happy.

One day it seemed to her that she has seen all there was to see and heard all there was to hear in heaven. So, she looked out beyond the golden clouds. There, in the distance, she saw earth and she was filled with a great longing to go there.

She said to the big angel: "Please, may I go to earth?" The big angel looked a her and said: "No, it is still too soon, you must wait a little while yet." So the little angel waited and was happy.

Then one day she again felt the longing and asked the big angel: "Please, may I now go down to earth?" The big angel looked at her and said: "no, it is still too soon, you must wait a little while yet". So the little angel waited and was happy.

One night as she slept, she dreamed a wondeful dream. She dreamed she was walking amongst many people on earth. There, she met a beautiful woman and she loved her very much so she asked the woman: " Will you be my mother?" The beautiful woman replied with a smile: "Yes". Then, the little angel met a lovely man and she asked him: " Will you be my father?" and the man replied with a smile: "Yes".

So the little angel chose her parents in that wonderful dream.

As soon as she awoke she told the big angel about the dream. "Please may I go to earth?" she then asked. "Yes" replied the big angel, "now it is time for you to go down to your parents who are waiting on earth. I cannot go with you. You must make the journey alone. I will keep your wings up here, until you are ready to return. I shall be watching over you."

The little angel handed over her wings and said goodbye. She went to dreamland. While ten moons waxed and waned she rocked in a little boat. At the end of that time a beautiful rainbow streched from heaven to earth and with the sound of angels singing the child came to earth as a tiny baby.

Her parents hugged and loved her very much and gave her her first gift: The name....
