Fiona Flies
into
Danger
It was a cold February morning, a
watery sun had just woke
up and was shining over Fingles Wood.
There was still some snow left on the ground
but now at least the snowdrops could feel the
warmth of the sun on their pretty
white gowns.
In
the tree tops the rooks were calling to each other
whilst in the bushes
the sparrows and robins were asking everyone to
wake up. Two little
field mice scuttled down their hole to sleep for
the day.
Deep under the
ground Monty Mole could hear the singing of the
birds. "I cant for the life of me
understand why they have to be so cheerful every
morning. he said, before going back to
sleep.
Flora the old fox
was still dreaming of the days when she used to
give the huntsmen a run for their money, now she
just lay snug and warm in her den and let the young
cubs have the fun.
Mrs
Rabbit had been up before the birds, with six
children to look after
and the weather being so lousy,she had to try
to get the housework
done before they woke up.
She had
just finished washing the clothes and she
went outside to hang it up.
Morning
Robby, morning Sidney. she called out as she
walked over to the washing
line.
Morning to you to Mrs
Rabbit. the birds sang out together. You have
been busy this morning, are the children still in
bed?
Yes, thank
goodness. She shouted back.
Molly Rabbit
looked up at the washing line then stopped in
amazement.
She couldnt
believe her eyes, for there, hanging on the clothes
line, was a little fairy!
Molly closed her
eyes and opened them again, there really was
a fairy stuck to her washing
line.
Well now, how on
earth did you end up stuck on here?
The
little fairy opened her eyes at the sound of
Molly's voice and began to
sob as Molly gently held the wee creature in her
paws.
Oh do be careful, she said in a
jittery voice, she could hardly talk
her teeth were chattering that much. I fear my
wings are frozen to the
line, if they snap off Ill never be able to fly
again.
Don't
worry I'll be very careful," Molly said wrapping
her warm paws around
the fairies body. "You don't seem dressed for
winter though my
lovely." She said unfolding her wings and
wiped them gently on her
line cloth.
She was only
about six inches high; with fair hair and
blue eyes.
There you go my
dear, you should be alright
now.
Mrs Rabbit gently
eased her off the line and popped her gently into
her apron pocket.
Right, lets get you
into the house and get you thawed
out.
Continued below; as we
go out of the snow and into the warm .
