that was making so much fuss about
coming through. left him kicking up
his heels and growing like a young
rooster,
Sally and Jerry laughed.
Shall dance for your asked the
Snow Fairy politely.
"Oh, yes !" beseeched the children.
Up jumped the white little person,
and in the twinkling of an eye she had
begun. The children never saw such
dancing in their lives. Never!
The Snow Fairy pirouetted on top
Of the clock she whirled like crystal
prism. She jumped down and made a
low bow to china shepherdess, and
then the shepherdess threw away her
crook and danced with the fairy. Away
they went, whirling and bobbing and
turning and dipping. They jumped
over vases; they peeked out behind
pictures, they fairly flew through the
air until you could not tell which was
the Snow Fairy and which the china
shepherdess.
Jerry and Sally clapped their hands
and laughed until they could laugh no
longer. They forgot all about parties
and new slippers and making snow
men.
Then the strangest thing happened.
They could not see the Snow Fairy at
all. She wasn't there, and If you'll
believe me, the china shepherdess was
standing stiffly in her old spot as
though she'd never had thought of
moving in her life.
"Dear melp said Sally rubbing her
eyes.
Dear mer' said Jerry, rubbing his.
Mother came in soon after that. She
stood smiling down upon them.
Both you children were sound
asleep on your stools when l was in
here before. Do come and have some
thing good to eat. have a little party
all ready for you"
And Sally and Jerry never said a
word about the Snow Fairy. But they
were as cheerful as cherubs the rest
of the day.
