One morning as a little girl worked in her greenhouse she had a peculiar sense of being looked at.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However when she looked about all she saw were tender new young seedlings waiting to be watered.

And so she went back to tending her chores.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After awhile the little girl once again had that peculiar sense that comes with being looked at and even thought she saw a twinkle or two.

But every time she turned her head to look no twinkle could be seen and so she continued to water her plants and she continued to have a sense of being looked at.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It occurred to the little girl that perhaps there were fairies about.

As she worked she kept one eye on her chores and one eye out for these mischievous little fairy folk.

“Ah ha! I see you now!” said the little girl to a departing twinkling light, and she set off following that little twinkle right  out the greenhouse  front door to who knows where.

And you know what? At the very same moment a little fairy was giggling as she scampered out the greenhouse back door!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fairies are pranksters and like to play games. They love to spy on young children and lead them on “wild fairy chases.”
