The Kind Fairy and the Dirty Town
Once upon a time there was a
dirty town. The garbage was in
the yard and the windows were dirty
and the houses were not clean. The
people were sick. A kind fairy saw
this town and cleaned it up. The
people got better when the u got
in the windows. The kind fairy
went away. The people said, How
can we help the kind fairy? When
the kind fairy came back she said,
DO you know how to help me?"
Keep your homes and your yards
clean and then your town will be
clean. That will help me most
