FAIRY TALES

Once in Fairyland there lived a fairy
She always sat and wrote story after story.
She thought ''all these stories with someone I must share
I will go to my best friend who would really care.''
She read all the stories and after hearing
Her fairy friend suggested something.
She said '' all the stories are worth hearing
Go and tell these to the King.''
She went to the king and all the stories she read
Hearing the stories the king was very impressed.
The king said '' what reward do you want my fairy dear?''
The fairy answered '' I want to live in the earth with children very near''
''With ordinary mortals'' cried the surprised king
''Yes, Your Highness!'' answered the fairy bowing.
''I want to tell the children the stories that I have written during my leisure
And watch their face glow with happiness and pleasure''
'' But how can we let you go?'' Cried the king ''you own the fairy crown here
And to me you are very very dear.''
The fairy ''Oh! Please Your Highness let me go
Or else another way please do show.''
''There is a way'' said the king after much thought.
''Let the most trustable mortal from the earth be brought.
You dictate the stories and it will be written down
And even you won’t have to lose your fairy crown.
The stories will be spread in every city, place and town
Now what is the matter? Why do you frown?''
Your highness! We have not given a name to my tales!''
The king said, '' that is not a problem. We’ll call it the fairy tales.''
