Cloverflower's Gift

I got up very early. I went to Cloverflower’s house. She shares her house with Flutterglow. They said *It is too early Bud Mushroom. Go home and come back after the sun has come up*.

I did not go home. I stayed near their house. I played with the beetles that crawled on the outside. I raced the slugs (I won!). I listened to birds chirp.

Then Cloverflower opened her door. She said *Come in now Bud Mushroom and you can help us*.

Cloverflower has her gift for the Prince! She found it in a human place. Flutterglow Smallified it and put it in her Bag. Then it Biggified back to its normal size when she took it out! Flutterglow’s Bag is Magic. It’s for her Job.

Cloverflower said *Bud Mushroom do not tell the Prince what the Gift is!* I won’t tell him. It will be a good surprise.

But she did NOT say *Bud Mushroom do not tell Worldwide Spider what the Gift is!* So I can jump about it on my Blog!

I do not know what the Gift is called. But I will tell you what it looks like! It is round. Not round like an apple, but round like a flat round rock. There is a stick on the side. Flutterglow called it Handle.

It does something amazing! I looked through the round part. Everything looked ENORMOUS! Flutterglow’s eye looked bigger than my head! Cloverflower’s finger looked longer than the Thorn! Their size did not change. But everything looked like it changed! We looked at a lot of things! We all giggled a lot! Then we were done looking.

We wrapped the Gift in flower petals and spider silk. That is what Cloverflower wanted me to help with. The Gift is too big for one fairy to wrap alone.

Flutterglow Smallified it. She hid it in her Bag with the Coin.

Then Cloverflower gave me my surprise! It is from a human place. It is called Cat Whisker. I saw a Cat once. It was big and scary like a fox! But Whisker is not scary. There is no Cat stuck to it. It fell off of the Cat. It is like a long hair. I like my surprise. I will put it with my snakeskin.

Goodbye from Bud Mushroom.

Nettle

The fox did a bad thing. The Garden Gnomes grew weeds. The fox trampled them! Now the Gnomes have to grow new ones. They need to hurry. The Party is soon!

I took them some food. This is what I gave them: berries, two walnuts, and dandelion milk. Rudy did not help me. He is helping the Gnomes! I had to fly back and forth many many times! My wings are tired. My arms are tired.

Thistle was talking to the Queen about the weeds. So I gave the food to Nettle. He looks just like Thistle. Except his beard is shorter. So that is how I knew it was Nettle. And also he told me he was Nettle.

Rudy was busy digging. I did not see him today. I wanted to lick his pear. But I could not find him.

When I was done taking food to the gnomes, I saw Cloverflower. She said *Bud Mushroom I need you for something special. Wake up early tomorrow and meet me by my house. I will give you a surprise if you help me*.

I will help Cloverflower. I like her. She smells nice. And I like surprises.

Goodbye from Bud Mushroom.

The fox is gone!

I am safe! I hid under some moss! The fox did not find me.

Cloverflower came to my house. She told me the fox was gone from Twinkle Dingle! Then she told me what happened. She giggled and giggled when she told me. And then I giggled.

This is what happened. Wildwhisper poked the fox with the Thorn! The fox got mad! It tried to bite Wildwhisper! Flutterglow popped in and then popped him away! She was very brave. But Wildwhisper was her Poppy. She had to save him.

Cloverflower was not scared. Flutterglow was not scared. They are the fastest flyers! They can pop away! So they made the fox chase them! Flutterglow had the Thorn! When the fox stopped, she poked it again! The fox chased and chased!

They were very clever! Because guess what was at the end of their chase? Rudy the Skunk! He shook his tail at the fox. The fox did not see Rudy until it was too late. Then the fox was covered with Rudy’s smell. The fox ran away. It left Twinkle Dingle! And then the fairies were all safe.

The Queen was so happy! Today she gave Flutterglow and Cloverflower a Reward. She gave them each a Sweet! Their Sweets are called Peppermint. They are red and white. Sweets are Special. We have to get them from human places. I would rather have nectar or buttermilk. But Cloverflower and Flutterglow like Sweets. They were happy. They shared their Sweets with Wildwhisper. He takes good care of the Thorn.

The Queen also gave Rudy a Reward! He does not eat Sweets. She gave him a pear. It was not Smallified! He was happy. Rudy let me lick his pear. It was delicious.

And guess what? No one had to work today! It was a Celebration! We played games all day. It was fun. I played hide-and-seek and leap-tag and find-the-bubble and got-your-wing and pick-a-hand!

My wings are tired. My eyes are sleepy. But the fox is gone!

Goodbye from Bud Mushroom.

There is a fox in Twinkle Dingle!

Flutterglow popped into my house! I was still in bed! She shook me until I was awake.

She said *Bud Mushroom do not go outside. There is a fox in Twinkle Dingle! Small fairies must stay inside! I will check on you later and I will leave you some food*.

She left me nectar. I like nectar! But I am too scared to eat! There should not be a fox here. They are big! They have scary teeth! I do not want to be a snack!

The small fairies are inside their homes. I am glad I am a small fairy! I am not going outside!

Flutterglow said *The Queen and the Prince are in their house, so they are safe. Wildwhisper has the Thorn and he will make the fox leave! The big fairies are helping him! I need to tell the Gnomes about the fox. Do not go outside Bud Mushroom!*

Then she popped away!

I will not go outside.

I hope the fox leaves soon.

I see something poking into my house! It is a nose!

I have to hide!

Goodbye from Bud Mushroom.
