THE FAIRIES' EASTER

(Original.)

Such a crowd of little ■'<£ airy-town people were hustling rin and ; out of fairy bakehouses, or tiny sweet shops for you see it was the Fairies' Easter. Little Elfin cooks in tiny caps and aprons were growing quite worried because their supply of "Hot Cross Buns"' was growing smaller and smaller, while the little fairy shoppers insisted that, the buns should be made in time for Easter. Nearly every elf and fairy in Fairyland surely must have been in town that night for, as well as crowded bakehouses, sweet shops were equally in demand. Gaily-coloured lanterns and streamers of every description adorned the ceilings, while Easter Eggs, costing two flowers of the rambling honeysuckle, attracted every passerby. Soon the shoppers were found very hard to satisfy, as some wanted chickens on the eggs, some silver paper, and some coloured ribbons, all of which had been sold earlier in the evening. The only ones left were little eggs in acorn cups. Soon the crowd began to grow -weary, and walked to their homes where they ate supper out of buttercups, ■ then fell asleep, dreaming •of the lovely Easter Day which was dawing nigh.
