Instead of flying away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy . "For your wonderful kindness," said the fairy, "I will grant you any wish you like." The little girl thought for a while and answered, "I want to be happy!" "Very well!" The fairy leaned toward her and whispered in her ear. Then the good fairy disappeared.
