Twitch and Nibbles, two
mice, watched the animals run by.
“I wonder what’s going
on? Look at the birds and bees in the sky.”
Twitch’s whiskers wiggled
as he glanced around the glen.
“Let’s follow them,” he
said, and chased after a wren.
Nibbles followed the
other mouse as they ran towards a tree.
“You’re going to fast,”
Nibbles shouted. “Wait! Wait for me.”
It seemed that all the
creatures of the glen had gathered round an oak.
Twitched looked up in the
branches and that’s when he spoke.
“It’s a fairy! It’s a
fairy! She’s all dressed in pink.
She’s come to guard our
glen, she has. That’s what I think.”
The bumblebees and
butterflies hovered near her feet.
They thought the fairy
looked kind and smelled sweet.
She sang songs to them
and stroked Nibble’s ears.
She waved down to the
horses and to the deer.
Nibbles and Twitch stayed
nearby from that day on,
As did the others, so
they could listen to the fairy song.
The glen became a happy
place where animals ran free,
And danced under starlit
skies as merry as can be. |
