LESSON 69 HOW STARS WERE MADE
HOW STARS WERE MADE
1. One day the fairy queen, who lived beyond the sky, left her fairies to go down to earth.
2. She went to visit a sick child.
While she was away the fairies danced and played.
3. When night drew near and she had not come back, they began to worry.
4. One little fairy made a tiny hole in the sky-floor, to peep down to earth.
She hoped to see the queen.
Soon, many other fairies did the same.
5. They did not know that the lights of fairy- land would shine through these holes.
6. When the queen was on her way back, she saw the holes in the sky-floor.
She found all the fairies peeping through them.
7. "Oh Queen," they said, "you were such a long time away, we feared you were lost."
8. The queen smiled and said, "Those holes make the dark sky look so pretty; I shall leave them just as they are."
And so she did.
9. We call them stars, but fairies know that they are the lights of Fairy-land.
