Magical Garden.

Elder and Ash as far as the eye could see; the whole forest was one big garden full of flowers, bushes, shrubs and all kinds of healing plants, I had discovered, The Fairies Garden Of Healing. From here all kinds of medicines, herbs, potions and lotions, powders were sent to all parts of fairyland. I now began to wonder why I had been allowed into this part of Fairyland that had been kept a secret from me for all of the long years that I had known the fairies.

            All the plants and shrubs, bushes and trees, some of whom only the bark of the tree was used for healing purposes. All these growing healing things were tended to by the busy Leprechauns, Trolls, Pixies and Elves. All worked away to make sure the plants and other medical herbs were looked after and watered and then harvested. Many of the herbs were for the fairies own use most of them were given to the women that in the old days when there were no Doctors, healed the poor peoples.

            The Old Fairy that ran the whole garden was the most famous fairy in the whole of Fairyland. She held great knowledge and was always called upon whenever there was fever or any one of the many illnesses that young children get for no reason whatsoever. Most of the herbs and remedies were dried and then packed and sent off to where ever they were most needed.

            The Old Fairy beckoned me to come nearer. She smiled and showed me a dried shrivelled old root that she took from one of the many pockets of the dress she was wearing. I saw that her hands and fingers were green from the long years of tending the trees and plants. I was chosen she said to take this old root back to the human peoples where it would in a few weeks be desperately needed to cure a strange illness that was sweeping all over the world.

            The dried root and some seeds that I could grow in my Garden were carefully wrapped in a huge leaf. Tied together with some string made from the spiders silk that was used to make spiders webs. I was very curious as to what kind of flower or shrub would grow from the seeds and or the dried root that I had been given. I thanked the fairy and made my way back home to my old house. Here I carefully planted the seeds and the dried root into the ground after I had soaked the root in water for a whole day. The dried root sucked in much water and I then planted it in a freshly dug garden beet.

            The root grew first followed by the seeds a lovely flower deep yellow appeared. This flower would with the rest of the plant and roots make a potent juice to ward off fever, which was part of the illness that was sweeping the earth. The flowers grew fast and I harvested and dried them as the fairy in charge of the Magical Garden showed me.

            All the fairies and trolls, leprechauns and the winged horse with the pixies and gnomes were sent with this herb preparation to all of the healing women on this earth and so was mankind saved from a terrible illness. I vouch for the truth in this my little story. You all want to know the name of the plant with the yellow flowers. I may not tell you but you can find it nearly everywhere on this earth. Just look for the large yellow flower that will sink fever if used properly.
