"Have you all your dresses ready, for we start soon?" asked Fairiel anxiously. All the flowers looked at their dresses. Suddenly a poppy cried, "Mine has faded! Oh dear! Oh dear!" It was a pansy who broke the silence. ' "Why not leave it and be out of the ordinary?" • "What a good idea," cried all the flowers. Just then'the. bluebells called. "It's; lime to come up!
