MAISIE AND THE FAIRY
“Oh. I wish something exciting would happen to me!” said Maisie, and she actually threw her favourite doll, Cristine, on the floor. But instead of lying on the floor in the same attitude as she had been thrown, Cristine sat up and said: “Well, something will happen,” and just as she said it a little fairy flew into the room and alighted on the hack of a chair. “Maisie,” said the fairy, “come and sit on this chair, I want to tell you something.” Maisie did as she was told and with a swift flutter of wings the fairy flew to her hand. “The Dawn Lady has asked you to a party to-night,” she said. Suddenly' another voice broke in: “Come Maisie,” * said her nurse. “It is time to dress for dinner. Your Uncle Harold has come and he wishes to see you.” Maisie looked up. the fairy had gone, and Cristine lay stretched full length on the floor. That night she had a lovely tim?. She danced with the man who keep? the Joy Shop and the doorkeeper of the Place-of-You-Never-Can-Tell. She also saw the Sunbeams, the Pixie Postmen, the Little Thought, and last but not least the Dawn Lady’. —Loris Chilwell (aged ID* Remuera.
