Bogey families and the COLLINS"
Lets have them ALL" said the Fairy
Queen. "And I'll prepare supper for
them after the storytelling"
"Oh, wondrous WondrOus - shouted
the little Fairies. "It will be real
party"
So they started off to invite the
others. And the Fairy Queen waved
her wand so that all her messengers
came to her and said as they bowed
low, what would you have, Madame?"
And some of them said, 'What would
you have, Royal Highness?"
Il would have every friend of Fairy
land invited to a storytelling party
this afternoon" said the Fairy Queen.
And the messengers bowed low
again and said. "Your wish will be
granted. We will obey your command"
Off they went in all directions, and
when afternoon had come Fairyland
was gay with fairies and their friends,
laughing, chatting, playing.
The Fairy Queen had not arrived,
but soon she came dressed in beau
tiful robe made of goldenrods. On
her head was a crown made of wild
asters.
"Once, not so very long ago, way
off in the deep woods, there were many
beautiful wild flowers. They were
flowers that grew where it was shady

In the springtime the woods in these
parts were so beautiful"
And the Fairy Queen smiled as she
thought of them.
AN old lady had little cabin home
just off these woods. Her only COM
panion was a cat. The cat was black
and two paws were white, and the
old lady thought they were very won

"Now and again the old lady had to
go into the village to buy food Some
times the cat would follow, wearing a
little jingling bell, for the old lady
wanted to be sure that the cat had

'"That was why she had him wear

warned the birds he was coming, so

the tingling bell.
"But this time, when the old lady
went into the village the cat was
sleepy and sat on the porch in the
sunshine

But the pussy blinked his eyes as
