In homes like ours, where sofas are soft, live tiny elves that few ever see. These elves are called Sofa Elves. and They go deep inside the sofa cushions and crevices of people’s sofas. They are cheerful and lively but also very cautious, as they prefer not to be seen. The Sofa Elves have existed for many years. And though they are not very noticeable, they are always present wherever sofas are in use.
Deep down in the sofas, they hide where they also live. Elves are particularly fond of sofas with leather finishes, soft fabrics, and wide seats where they can conceal themselves. Deep in the sofa’s crevices. The elves also hide the treasures they collect in the houses. These treasures include letters, small coins, socks. And other items that humans lose without realizing that. The elves have taken them. That’s why you sometimes find things under the sofa cushions.
The Beginning of the Adventure
One cold winter morning, when snow was falling heavily outside the window of one home. A group of Sofa Elves found themselves in an adventure.
In the home was a large corner sofa in the living room where five Sofa Elves lived: Bragi, the little leader of the group; Freyja, the cleverest elf; Bára, who loved finding lost items like coins and pens; and the twins Nóri and Ninna, who enjoyed themselves most when they could play.
On this morning, there was a great disturbance among the group when they discovered that one of their cushions had gone missing! The cushion had been their home for a long time. And without it, they didn’t know how they could stay hidden in the sofa without being seen by people. The group was woken by Bragi shouting, „Where is our cushion?“
“Maybe the humans took it to wash it?” said Freyja, who was always the first to look for solutions. “We need to find it again. This is the most important thing, or we’ll have no shelter.”
The Sofa Elves’ Rescue Plan
The group quickly came up with a plan. They would search every nook and cranny of the house. Their first task was to check under the sofa. Where humans often lost things like remote controls and socks. Bára, who was an expert at finding lost items, went ahead first.
“I found a coin!” she called happily, but the cushion was nowhere to be found.
After they searched thoroughly under the sofa and found nothing. Bragi decided that they would need to explore the rest of the living room. They climbed onto tables, under the carpet, and down by the wall. Where they finally saw where the cushion had ended up — it was stuck in a chair!
The Sofa Elves Save the Cushion
“This is much more than we expected!” shouted Bragi. “Now we have to find a way to get it back.”
Nóri and Ninna quickly sprang into action and started building a slingshot using old rubber bands. “We can use this to swing over,” said Nóri. And they both laughed. Bragi and Freyja watched as the twins climbed up the table and swung over to the chair with the cushion.
It took them only a few minutes to rescue the cushion. And when they finally got it back into the sofa, the Sofa Elves celebrated together. The cushion wasn’t just part of their home; it was part of their life.
The End of the Story
That evening, when everything was calm, the sofa elves lay together under their cushion, content and happy. They looked at each other, and Freyja said with a smile. “Now, let’s never let the cushion get lost again.”
And so, the Sofa Elves continued living in the sofa. A warm and friendly community where adventures were never far away. Even if they were small.
