Ghost Fairies.

As usual the pixies are up to their old tricks again. This time they are frightening the very young fairies. Wrapping themselves in white sheets they flew from one young fairies home to the other making a terrible noise. Wailing and groaning they went from house to house calling out in high-pitched voices, “ We are those that have gone on before.” None of the fairies knew what the pixies were talking about and this stupid game went on for a whole week. The fairies were not paying attention at school and soon one of the fairy teachers heard all about the pranks of the pixies.

The teachers got together and discussed the pixies and why they always interfered with things that they knew very little about. We must teach those pixies a lesson that they won’t forget in a hurry. Plans were made not very good plans until one of the elder teachers said,  “Let us pay those pixies back with their own silly tricks.” It was agreed the teachers would wait a week or more until the pixies had forgotten about their stupid prank played on the young fairies.

Using magic the teachers dressed themselves in long flowing nightgowns each had a long grey wig on her head and with magic they altered the tone of their voices. On command they flew off together over the pixies houses. With their voices they wailed, “Who has dared to disturb our long well deserved rest. Who must we punish? It is a dangerous thing to do to disturb the rest of those that have served so well” The pixies lay in their beds frightened for now they really thought that they had disturbed the rest of those long service beings that had gone on before. The teachers, just to make sure that the lesson had been learned flew three nights running; the pixies were desperate.

At school the following week one of the fairy children heard two of the teachers speaking about the punishment that they had given to the awful pixies. The fairy soon told all of her friends about what she had heard. The young fairies decided to punish the Pixies in their own way. Two or three days after the Teachers had visited the pixies the fairies decided to get even with the pixies. Soon two fairies were standing next to the pixies homes.

One gave a low whistle and fifty magic wands pointed to the ground outside the pixies homes flashes of magic sparks lit up the night sky. Bush after bush appeared blocking the pixies home soon each home was blocked completely it would not be possible to open a door into the outside world. High growing bushes darkened each window. The fairies all went back to their own homes and waited till daylight.

The next day not a pixie was to be seen. An Owl reported the fact that not a pixie was to be seen to Her Majesty Queen Feeanna. Her Majesty flew to the part of Fairyland where the pixies live. On seeing the thick growth of bushes Her Majesty knew that magic had been used. Calling the fairies together she asked who had used magic to block the pixies homes. None of the working fairies could help Her Majesty. Smiling to herself she went to the fairy school.

Sitting at their small desks the fairy boys and girls looked so innocent that Her Majesty thought to herself it could not have been the fairy children that had used magic to make the bushes grow so thick around the pixies homes. Smiling she asked the fairies what they were learning at the moment. One little girl excitedly said,  “ We are learning how to make bushes grow.” On Hearing these words all of the fairies burst in peels of laughter. Then one of the fairies told Her Majesty about the tricks the pixies had played upon them and of how they got their own back on the pixies. Her Majesty waved her magic wand and all of the bushes disappeared. The pixies were now free. The teacher of the class then told Her Majesty about their own little escapade and of how they had frightened the pixies in the hope that they would behave themselves in the future. On hearing this, Her Majesty decided that the pixies had been punished enough and for a while there was peace between the fairies and the pixies.
