Whatever the reason, each of the horses and ponies carrying them mysteriously lost on its way to the Blue Hills. As each of the partygoers ventures into an enchanted forest where legend becomes reality and their wildest dreams come true, and by the time the travelers meet again over tea and iced birthday cake, they have had such adventures.
