A LITTLE BLUE FLOWER
When a fairy does anything very wrong, she sometimes turns into a witch. And if she can do something very good or wonderful while she is a witch, she grows backwards into a young fairy again. Well, a fairy once forgot she was a fairy, and said the most unkind and untrue things about another fairy, and made he,r unhappy and ill. So, as a punishment, she turned into a witch and had to leave fairyland. She could wander on the earth, but even there people did not like witches, and chased her away from them. And, after a time, the witch grew unhappy. She was sorry she had been so cruel. “I wish I could tell that fairy I am sorry,” she said. “How can I send her a message, and ask her to forgive me!” And she remembered she could make a flower. And she made a dear little blue flower, and stuck it in the ground and called it forget-me-not. Next morning, she felt herself changing; her face grew soft, and lovely, and young, and in a few minutes she was a fairy again. And the first person to meet her and kiss her was the fairy for whom she had mad© her forget-me-not.
