Page 11 - Lydia and the Tooth Fairy

figure, dressed in a beautiful daffodil

coloured dress, with long, brown, curly hair,

and a little pair of wings on her back.

"Oh!" the little girl cried in disbelief. "Are you

a fairy?"

Fairy Fleur sat on the edge of Lydia's bed and

started to cry.

"Whatever is the matter?" asked Lydia.

Between sobs, Fairy Fleur explained all about

the Tooth Fairy's illness, that she had been

sent on a special errand by the Queen Fairy,

what she had been told to do, and how she

had forgotten the tooth and then clumsily

woken Lydia up. She sobbed that she had

failed dismally and now she would never be a

proper fairy and have beautiful wings and a

shiny wand; in fact, the Queen Fairy would

probably be so cross, that she would for ever

after make her polish all the other fairies'

wands!
