"Oh. yes. flowers. we can understand

Now the rainbow fairies and the
flowers were talking Others could
never have heard them talking. They
were speaking in the flower and rain
bow language which is a beautiful Ian
guage as you can imagine.
Beside them and over them and all
about them was great waterfall, In
fact. several great waterfalls as great
as any I'm the world
All the time there was rainbow. sew
eral rainbows in fact and you know.
the rainbow fairies live in the rain
bows. They live in them as we live
In houses, and some live In the green
part. some In the golden stripes and
some In the red stripes.

rapids which were about the falls. (
and there was great deal Of lovely .
moss. and neither the flowers nor the
moss seemed TO mind the rushing wa
ter which ran so wildly past them and

Eyes. they're brave. too" said the
fairies.

said the flowers. I'VE know how
they want to come down those many.
many steps. and take this trip across
these little bridges and go under the
falls. That is, rainbow fairies. they
go back of the falls. The falls are
falling way over there in front. and
n the great space between the falls
md the rocks over which they dash
people can go.

when they're all dressed up in oilskins,
md when they're getting very wet
rom all the mist and water. then II Is
hat they see us and. too, think that
we're brave.
"But oh, rainbow fairies, could we
