Once upon . time, in the olden
days, young girl named Viola read
story about the fairies with gauzy
wings and bright dresses. One day,
while she was in the garden, she fell
asleep and dreamed she found the
fairies in the hearts of the zig. red
roses that bloomed under her Win
dow. She wished she could be lit
tile fairy, too, when lol behold, the
queen Of the fairies came up to her
and said, Your wish shall be grant
ed ere moonrise if you will promise
to be good OF course Viola prom
ised and waited patiently for moon
rise.
She waited and then gave up hope
and said, "Ohl the moon will never
rise" But she waited little longer
and after while she saw?
The moon had risen and on each
ray of the moon, there sat a little
fairy with silver wings and a gold
dress. Each carried little diamond
wand.
Viola felt change and looked at
herself, seeing another little fairy.
She was dressed just like the other.
little fairies.
She found herself on a ray OF the
moon and then, whiz-z-z! she was in
Fairyland.
She visited the Fairy hospital,
where were the fairies with broken
wings, torn dresses, etc.
She wandered about in the gar
den, around the hospital, until she
fell asleep under a tree. When she
awoke she was in her own garden
at home. She rubbed her eyes and
said, "I must have been asleep"
Sunny Jim.
Minnie Smith. Ags J. Years Honey
Sunny Jim was a little boy 10
years old. He lived on large farm.
Sometimes he was very naughty.
One evening as he sat by the FIRE
place the great flames seemed to tell
of all the bad things he had done
that day. This made him very angry
so he tried to put the fire out, but
could not.
Then he thought of going out into
the woods to stay all night. He got
his coat and cap and slipped out very
quietly. and started down the roads
as fast as he could run. He was
frightened because it was SO dark.
When he got into the woods he
heard a great noise This frightened
him more and more. So he started
to run straight across the woods. He
was about to stop when he fell into
a large hole. He cried for help but
no one came. Pretty soon he found
himself in large cave. Vie soon
heard cross voices. They said if-
anyohe was found in the cave they
should be punished.
Sunny Jim began to cry with all
his might. The men heard him and
caught him. They threw him into a
large pile of sandburs.
Just then his little sister was
standing by his chair where he was
asleep. She was pulling Sunny Jim's
hair and he awoke. He had only
been dreaming.
