The next morning Cecily ran down to her favourite willow tree and sat expectantly for ages, hoping that today she would see another fairy. She sat and she sat and she sat, and she didn't see anything. She closed her eyes, and let herself become sleepy. She opened her eyes - she didn't see anything but flowers, and bugs and trees.
But just as she was about to stand up and run off to another part of the garden, she heard the most delightful sound. It was the sound of tiny voices singing. She listened very hard, and the singing grew a little louder.
Suddenly 2 little baby fairies appeared together, happily skipping and singing in their baby voices. They began to water the bluebells beneath the tree (because even baby fairies have their jobs to do). They had the prettiest purple wings that sparkled in the sun, and their hair was as white as fleece.
Cecily tried to hear what they were singing, and she caught: "Fa la la and away the fairies the go!"
Cecily found she had to draw and write very quickly, because although the fairies were babies, they moved very quickly indeed. And before she knew it, they were gone again, with a "Fa la la and away the fairies go".
To be continued...
