BABY BUNTING
Baby foal 6. baby calves, baby lambs, baby thrushes, robins, torn-tits, puppies, kittens, and baby every things! Some had even brought baoies of flower fairies.
The queen looked at each, now stroking a purring kitten and now patting a fat, roly-poly puppy. At last she had seen them all and picked her favourite; so. standing on a toad-stool platform, she called to a fairy named Elfins, and told her she had won the wand and to come and show her baby. With tiny, dainty steps, Elfins mounted the toad-stool, and there, cuddling up against her shoulder, lay a laughing baby boy. With an impish chuckle, he stretched out a fat. dimpled hand, and pulled the wand which the queen had presented to Elfins from her hands; then, holding it in his baby arms, he looked up at Elfins and said, “Me happy, me love yoo.” The queen, when she heard his baby voice, was so pleased, that she said that springtime in the future would always be babytime.
