Where The Fairies Sleep

7 AVE you ever wondered where
the fairies sleep in the cold,
= = chilly nights of the autumn!
or course in the warm summer time.
even In the-cooler spring time, there
are plenty Of flowers to 60 around
and never fairy need lack for a bed.
But when the cold winds kill the
blossoms and the dainty flower beds
are all covered with dry brown leaves
where do the fairies sleep then?
One morning in the late fall, one
little fairy noticed that the flower in
which he lived was dying; dying be-
cause Of the cold :aa the chill.
whats to become Of MOI" he
asked in dismay. Where shall I
live when you are dead?" But the
Eower sadly dropped its petals on
the ground. one by one. and answered
not a word.
Close by, another little flower
dropped its petals and another little
fairy was homeless. So 1t was all
over the garden. Not blossom was
left for fairy! Not bud remained
on which they could pin their hopes
of a home!
well, we'll have to live some
where" said one fairy.
we'll have to find that somewhere
pretty quick too," said another. "be-
cause night is coming before We
know it," Which was true enough.
for the short day was already nearly
done-all day the fairies had spent
watching their flower homes die!
And we can't go very far" said
another.
I'm tired now" added still an
other.
And / see where I'm going to
live-it's right here" said one clever
little fairy, and before the others
could hardly look around he had
crawled into great big cobweb
spread out between two tufts OF
grass on the lawn.
rs It comfortable?" asked one
fairy.
rs It warm" asked another.
Does it sleep soft?" questioned =
third.
