joy. She looked over to the hills and saw growing crops, dancing in the 
summer wind, looking up to the smiling sun as he fed them with 
goodness. She watched as her parents ran around the variety of 
vegetables that had mysteriously grown overnight. As she skipped over 
to join them, she smelt marvelous smells of ripe tomatoes. She leant 
towards the tall vines and picked a juicy, bright red tomato and took a 
huge bite. The juice dribbled down her chin and the pips splattered 
onto her cheeks. The taste was indescribable; it was as if she could 
taste the sun. 

Carrie stood with her parents in the hay fields and watched in amazement
at the farm, which seemed to be brimming with life and vitality. Her 
parents did not understand what had caused this miracle but Carrie knew 
it was the fairies. They had been watching over her and her parents. 
She spun around, her nightdress blowing in the wind and looked up the 
sun himself; he winked at her and grinned. Carrie then knew that 
everything was going to be fine. 

Back in the kitchen, Carrie caught great wafts of scrambled eggs and
enjoyed the most delicious breakfast she had had in a long time. After 
breakfast, Carrie got dressed and skipped merrily off to the end of the 
hay fields, where she often sat and thought. She sat on the very same 
stone that was made to fit her and looked around. Nothing. She screwed 
up her eyes very tightly and wished and hoped for the fairies to come 
back, but they didn’t. Carried then felt very sad, she had only wanted 
to thank the beautiful creatures for saving her and her parents from 
poverty. As she stood up and turned to walk back to the house, she 
heard a faint whisper. She did not turn, but only stood very, very 
still and did not make a sound. The noise came again and it sounded 
very much like a voice. Carrie heard the fairies saying something to 
her! She closed her eyes and waited in anticipation. She then heard 
them say something in unison: 

‘Faeries are the inner nature of the land and a reflection of the inner
nature of our souls...’ 

Carrie realized that the fairies had come to her because she had wanted
them to. She had wanted to help her parents so much, that she had 
willed them to visit her and use their magical powers to save them. And 
she had done it, on her own. The farm continued to prosper and Carrie 
grew up to be a beautiful young lady and took over the farm from her 
aging parents. She too, had exquisite children and loved them to 
pieces. But she never, ever mentioned the fairies to anyone, and 
neither must you!
