Once upon a time, there lived six shining fairies. They were called Lisa the smart one, Anika the artistic one, Vy the muscial one, Roxy the tomboy, Annabelle the beautiful and Gabriella the baby. They lived in an old enchanted tree in the middle of the forrest. It was cool and green and mossy in their tree. The girls spent each day visting other fairies including their mum as she was the queen of the fairies. They also spent their day making flowers bloom and causing the lakes to twinkle in the sun.
At night, they had parties under circles of flowers with all their fairy friends and the night creatures of the forrest. There was one thing they loved to do most of all and that was to sneak away from the party and visit a sleeping human girl. They wondered what it was like to be a human girl. They wondered what she dreamt of. They wondered what she liked to do, who were her friends and most of all, what made her smile?
Lisa thought human girls were the most clever of all. "I am know nothing next to them. They think of clever songs and rhymes all day long."
Anika thought they were the most talented artists of all. "Have you seen their colouring in? Have you seen their pictures? How can i compare when every little girl draws sooo well."
Vy just liked to dream about little girls voices. "They sing sweeter than any bird i have ever known."
Roxy just wanted to have some fun with them. "They can run and play harder and faster than me. Can you believe it?"
Annabelle thought human girls were the most beautiful creatures alive. "How can I be the most beautiful when they have sparkling and shining eyes and hair that gleams in the sunlight."
Gabriella, who had always been spoilt because she was the youngest, always dreamed of the adventures she could have if she could just become friends with one of these wonderful human girls.
Every night as they flew back to their beautiful old comfy tree in the middle of the forrest. They were all very quiet. Each one was thinking about what she would do if she had a human little girl as a friend of her very own...so when your sleeping next, warm in your bed, have a peek at the window sill and you might just see six shining beautiful faires dreaming of becoming a friend with a girl just like you.
