The Country of My Dreams - Wagon Valley

Welcome to the Wagon Valley, the country of my dreams.

Once I closed my eyes and saw a small train station in the middle of nowhere. It was surrounded by a wild, dark forest. And I wondered…, what if I build a new country!!!

The Wagon Valley looked like a big colorful wagon. It was divided into 6 cities: Fly city, Railo city, Explorer city, Tramo city, Express city and Electro city. Each city had a great sightseeing.

Let' s take a train and see them all!!! TOU-TOU-TOU!!!!! Our first stop is Fly city. You can see a flying train bridge up high in the sky and under it a colorful lake with colorful ducks.

Next stop is Railo city with a lot of multicolored railways that look like hundreds rainbows. We continue our journey to Explorer city with thousands adventures waiting for you. Then taking rest in Tremo city – the five-star place of food. Its neighbor is Express city- the sport city, where everyone uses boost shoes in order to try more sports. Finally, Electro city – where the smartest people live.

They create all gadgets in the Wagon Valley. Each city is nice and different. But all people are good, kind, honest, sharing and caring. They love animals. There are a lot of animals: cats, dogs, parrots, foxes, wolves, lions, tigers…. They all can talk and very friendly. People and animals work together, help each other. There are no fights, hitting and bullying.

Both people and animals can speak and understand all languages. They live like a big family. They have their own traditions. One of them is called "MR. CAKE". Villagers bake different kinds of sweets: cakes, chocolates, muffins… Then they choose the tastiest sweet "MR. CAKE" and have a big party where they share their work….

Suddenly, my cat Tommy jumped on me, and this is how my journey ended but the Country of my Dreams still lives in my paintings ;)

Thank you for your powerful story "The Country of My Dreams", Ihor. Keep up the great work and never stop dreaming!

We can achieve anything if we work together and help each other! Well done!
