Jack s Dream

BY Holen Verrill, Queen Bee; Aged IS
Years. No. ~. The Strehlow, Omaha
Blue.
The fairies every day go round and
gather up all the withered flowers which
little children have picked and thrown
away. They take them to falryland and
there they come to and never wlther or
die.
One day boy came and picked all the
flowers in the garden and threw them
away. He did this several times until the
fairies decided they could stand 1t no longer
SO that night the dream fairy came to
him and with her she brought a large
paper bag. Jack, for that was the boys S
name, was in bed. The fairy closed the
door and windows and then opened her
bag and out flew demon and he bowed
low before the fairy saying; What do you
want?'' the fairy said, Il want you to give
this boy a bad dream that will make him
stop picking flowers and throwing them
away With that she went out, and the
demon began TO wave a long, black wand
over the boy and saying magic words
Soon the boy was fast asleep and In his
dream he saw large roses buttercups
daisies, peoples and all other kinds OF
flowers, he ran up to them and was Just
ready to pick rose when it grew twice
as large as he was and as he came toward
each flower they sprang up taller than he
was, himself Then all the flowers began
to make faces at him and he got so
frightened that he strayed away from the
path and got lost He tried to cut down
the flowers with his knife, but he felt a.
sharp slap across the ears and then he gave
up and began to cry. He felt someone
shaking him and he woke up to find it was
his father trying to waken him up He
got up and dressed quickly and went out
into the garden, but not to hurt the flowers,
but to water them. And every day after
that dream he watered and cared for them.
