Just then little Gnome came down
from the Coach and began to help Billy
up.
"Off they went, with the most dash.

Finally they came to the very steep

here we all get dashed to pieces un
less the Tipping Bird comes along
Dear me- said Billy, L do hope he
comes. l would hate to be dashed tc
pieces
"'Oh, that's just to make it more
exciting said one of the Fairies, we
won't really be dashed to pieces. The
Tipping Bird is Bird only known ir
Fairyland, and he always comes just
as the Fairy Queen waves her wand.
And soon what should Billy see
come flying along but great big black
Bird-the biggest Bird Billy had evel
seen in all his life. They left the
Coach on the side of the Cliff, ant
then the Horses. Coachmen, Footmen
Fairies. Gnomes. Billy and all, found
nice little parts of the Tipping Birds

over the side of the Cliff, and they
landed in a beautiful Valley of soft
Feathers.

going now
You must sleep in your good soft
Bed instead of the Chair said Billy's
Mother, who had carried him asleep t
his bed while he had been dreamins
of the trip in the Coach"
