OR a long, long time the fairy F teachers (there WERE teachers Among the fairies, you must know) found themselves much too busy to teach iuiimais and birds a language such as mortals uae. So many iiny babies must be taught 10 Ki-lrlla and then tu lisp the tirst few words that the fairy teachers had to be whispering continually into baby ears. No, they surely could not spare one precious moment for the animals and birds. But one day, as the fairy queen set watching a monkey vainly trying to speak to a giraffe. she decided that somethin; lnust be done, A silvcry blunt from her dainty trumpet called every fairy teacher to her. and for a while mortal babies could do nothing but cry, inasmuch as their teachers were no longer' nvar. When all tha fairy instructors stood before her, thc queen chose the very "‘ §~"¢- _ itil _ .' , //,_ I 'rua l.i~;ssoN naoixs ‘ , i uf brightest one to teach the beasts and birds. i And that very afternoon the fairy teacher' sent out dwarfs to bring t0- gethcr all -creatures in a gardtn nook of fairgland, where there was at nice fence and trees for the birds to roost upon, a pleasant fountain basin in which the frogs, the dt:t-ks, the geese and the swans could splash. and fragrant grass for the cuw and the horse and the don- iiey, in case they grew hungry during lesson lime, As soon as the creatures appeared. the tenrlier opened school.
