When having guests,

A good fairy should be civil

To her friends and family,

And always stop in time to wash

Her hands and feet for tea.


Fairy does her best but falls a little short of the task. Brynhildr frowns at the sight of Fairy’s dirty fingernails.

The Valkyrie, who has climbed up the tree house to speak with Carabosse, notes vituperatively that Fairy has brought her gardening indoors.

Actually Fairy is a little relieved to have a reason to leave their company, and goes down to the waterfall with a scrubbing brush. She is even more pleased when Elf comes by and offers to take her for a late afternoon ride.

When riding with an elf, a Good Fairy never

Tries to read maps upside down,

Cries “Oh Look!” at a flowering meadow when he is passing a truck,

Insists on taking such a charming lane which ought to come out very near where he is going but never does,

Keeps telling him how hungry she is when he is trying to find some place to dine on a strange road,

Calls attention to the heat when he doesn’t have air conditioning,

Begs him to stop at the quaint little antique store or whimpers while passing her favorite nursery,

Gives a little shriek when he just misses a fruit bat.
