"Come on, blue fairies" called the
red fairies.
"You come on, too" said the blue
fairies.
"Of course we WILL" said the red
fairies.
"And you come along too, green fair
ies,'' they all shouted.
eve WILL" the green fairies shout
ed.
"And the yellow fairies-you must
come too," they cried. eve WILL" call
ed the yellow fairies.
'You see," said the red fairies, ''we
must all be here today for we're going
to give a dance"
Really" they all said. "When is the
dance to begin?"
SIN just a moment" the red fairies
said.
'What are we waiting for?" the
others asked.
"For the signal to begin" the red
fairies said.
"Who will give it to us?" asked the
other fairies.
'1The Sun and the King of the
Clouds answered the red fairies.
''But all of us must be ready, hurry
now. it will soon be the time.
"All the fairies of the different col
ors go together, and each make beau
tiful long, curving stripe by the way
you stand" said the red fairies. "And
those which go to make up part of
the beautiful colOr-everyone take
your place in other words, for you
all know just how you must go to make
up the beautiful dance"
"Ah, now we know said the green
fairies. 1--WE didn't quite understand
before just what sort of dance it
was to be. But with all our good
friends here we wouldn't have missed
it at any rate"
"We're going to have glorious
rainbow Dance" said the red fairies.
"We're just waiting for the signal
from Mr.. Sun and the King of the
Clouds as we said before"
'That speech of yours made us think
it was going to be rainbow dance"
said the yellow fairies.
Now all Of these fairies were dress
ed in beautiful soft dresses of the col
ors after which they were named.
when the King of the Clouds and
Mr.. Sun feel like being friendly and
having a chat, well really, we have to
celebrate it by having beautiful
dance, don't WEI" asked the red fairies.
Nothing could be better idea"
said the others.
"Hush, OH" whispered the red fair
les. "Now. get ready, for we must be-

Hello, King of the Clouds" shout
ed all the rainbow fairies. "See, we've
come! A beautiful rainbow, made up.
of so many, many little fairies, who
are so glad to see you and Mr.. Sun
attacking.
"And now we're going to dance. The
earth people will not know that were
dancing, for we dance very stately and
very quiet danceS-nOt the hop, skip
and jump, or one step, two step, mil

our same positions.
"See King of the Clouds, see Mr..
Sun, we're going to arrange ourselves
so that the rainbow fairies on either
side, at each end will tell our secrets
to the earth, of how we love the earth
and of how we kiss it with our fairy
kisses and say we hope it's quite,
quite we'll and happy"
So the rainbow fairies gave rain

lights, their costumes, everything went
together in just the right way to make
a most perfect rainbow for the. earth
people to see. And Mr. Sun chuckled
and said to the King of the Clouds,
'Well, your Royal Highness, this is a
pretty big treat to have a pleasant
talk with you and at the same time
to see this lovely dance"
And the King of the Clouds an
swered Mr.. Sun by saying, cts pref
