The Autumn Fairy

I'm not really sure if this story I have written today is for you my grown-up readers 
or for your children. Maybe it can be for both. I hope you enjoy!


Smash those mushrooms well, mix them with
honey, clover, and cinnamon. But remember to only use the mushrooms that grow under the
glowing tree. You will find this tree at the top of the highest mountain where the forest ends 
and the rocky land begins. Once you have done this, spread the mixture on a banana leaf and set it on 
the lake to float during the night on a full moon. Make sure you collect the leaf before the first 
ray of sun breaks through the clouds. You will notice that the mushy substance has turned into sparkling
cinnamon dust which you will spread as you go about your day. That is all you need to do.

"Are you sure this will work?" the autumn fairy asked the old witch of the forest.
"Is everyone really going to like me and want to be my friend?"
"Yes deary", the witch responded. "Now, pay up the twelve tokens of gold."

The next day the autumn fairy began to collect the items that the witch had told her to 
and then proceeded to prepare the mushy substance of honey, clover, and cinnamon with the
mushrooms that grew under the glowing tree. The tree that was at the top of the highest mountain 
where the forest ended and the rocky land begins. When the full moon made its presence, she 
placed the banana leaf to float on the lake and then she went to sleep, eager for the next day to 
come so she could start making new friends

The next morning, before the first ray of sun would break through the clouds, she collected the banana 
leaf and started to make her way to the other side of the forest, spreading the magical dust as she
ventured through, but nothing happened. After a while, she came up to a beautiful lake with 
sparkling silver water. She noticed diamond fish swimming around in search of food. 
She was amazed by the beauty of the lake and its swimming residents and placing the banana leaf
carefully on the ground,  she dove in creating a big splash as she hit the warm water. 
All the diamond fish surrounded her and they begin to sing creating a multitude of air bubbles 
that floated high above the water creating a beautiful illusion of a million rainbows. 
The autumn fairy swam with the fish happily without realizing that many hours were passing.


Finally, the autumn fairy began to give her goodbyes to each of the diamond fish, but as she 
picked up the banana leaf a gust of wind blew, sending all the magical dust into the forest.
The fairy began to cry and all the diamond fish swam towards her to console her.

"How am I ever going to make friends now? All my magical dust is gone."
she murmured as her tears ran down her face.
I am your friend!
Me too!
    and ME!
      and ME!...
all the diamond fish kept repeating this and their exclamation became a beautiful friendship song that
was carried by the wind through every corner of the forest and reaching the top of the highest mountain.
The fairy realizing this was true, she dove back into the silvery lake to join all her new
friends but as she did, she turned into a beautiful golden fish. Now in the forest, the autumn fairy is
known as the golden queen of the silvery lake.

The moral of the story, one does not need magic or go out of their way to make friends.
All you need is to be yourself spreading love and fun along the way and giving time to unexpected
moments. That's where the magic is! ;)

Much Love,
