So here i go...
This is my present to... oh well, I wont tell u! 
-I want you to offer me something….a present…
-Anything you want
-Anything? Do you promise?
-Yes I promise
-It is difficult to find
-I don’t mind
-It’s expensive
-I don’t care
-It’s rare
-Even better
-It’s dangerous
-I m not afraid
-You might burn your hands if you touch it
-I ll become water to extinguish the fire
-It might slip off your fingers and fly away
-I ll catch it again
-It may go very far away
-I ll go after it
-It may get lost in the sky
-I ll become a bird to look for it
-It might dive into the sea
-I ll become a hook to catch it
-It might hide in the dark
-I ll wait for the dawn
-But it might get wounded till then
-I ll bring the stars to spread light earlier
-It’s so small, you wont be able to catch it
-I ll ask from an ant to help me
-And what if it is big as a house?
-I ll bring a crane
-And if it is big as a mountain?
-I ll bring a crane bigger than the mountains
-Is there one?
-I ll make one
-Where did you learn to make cranes?
-I didn’t learn
-Then?
-I ll learn
-How?
-From the books
-What if it’s not in the books?
-I ll find the old man who makes cranes
-What if he is dead?
-I ll find another old man
-Whom?
-The one who knows all the herbals
-All the herbals?
-All the grasses and the small flowers of a field. He knows the magic they hide
-And how will he move the mountain?
-Not him, I will. He will give me herbals to drink, to become strong enough to move the mountain
-And me? Will you be able to lift me up as well? To embrace me?
-Always
-Now!
-Now! Come! What do you want?
-I want you to offer me something.
-Anything you want. Just ask
-Anything? Do you promise?
-Yes I promise
-I want…. I want something that you can’t find, anywhere
-Let’s make it ourselves
-How?
-How would you like us to make it?
-I don’t know
-Lets make it with walnut timber and golden nails
-No, no it’s not like that
-Lets make it with feathers and crumbs , with drops and tickles and lets put a tuning key on it, so that you can wind it up
-No, no! I don’t want a key
-Why not?
-Cause I might lose it
-I ll hang it on your neck
-I might get lost too
-I ll come to find you
-What if you can’t?
-I ll make it
-What if it is dark?
-I ll light a candle
-What if the candle melts?
-Until then I ll have found you
-If not?
-I ll keep searching until I find you
-For how long?
-FOR EVER!
-What does forever mean?
-That I LOVE YOU!
-And what will I be doing until you find me?
-You can sleep
-Where?
-Under a pine tree
-Where are the pine trees?
-Everywhere
-Are there lions everywhere?
-No
-Where are the lions?
-In the jungle
-Is it near? The jungle ?
-Very far away. On the other side of earth…
-So they can’t come here?
-Never
-Do u promise?
-Yes I promise
-I forgot what forever means
-It means that I love you
-How much?
-Up to the sky
-Yes, yes. May I sleep now?
-Yes
-Will you hold me?
-Yes
-I want you to offer me something
-Anything you want
-Anything? Do you promise that?
-Yes I promise…..
