Cloverflower

Today Cloverflower gave me my surprise. It is the skin from a snake! She found it in the woods.

 There is no snake inside. The snake got too big and took off its own skin. I like this surprise! I put it in my house.

I will tell you about Cloverflower. She is the Messenger. She flies very very fast. She delivers messages from the Queen. Sometimes her messages are words she says with her mouth. Sometimes the messages are letters scratched into a leaf. The Queen likes to tell people things. Cloverflower delivers a lot of messages.

We were Sprouts at the same time. We played games. But then I Growed-Up and got my Job. We still play games sometimes. She has pretty hair. I like her.

She said *help me again and you will get another surprise*. So I will help her again. She wants me to invite more creatures. This is who I will invite: bumblebees and dryads. Cloverflower said *maybe more later but start with those*.

She knows I do not have a gift for the Prince. She said *I do not have one either. I will think about it*. She is clever. She will have an idea soon.

Goodbye from Bud Mushroom.

Mermaids

Cloverflower is the Queen’s Messenger. She is my friend. Today she said *please help me and I will give you a surprise*. I like surprises!

Cloverflower has to invite everyone to the party. Everyone is a lot! I will help her. I like to be Useful.

I flew to the seashore. I flew over the water to the mermaid rocks. They stick out of the water. Mermaids sit on them! I gave invitations to three mermaids. These are the three mermaids: Dorianna, Irvetta, and Marilla. They will tell the other mermaids about the party.

Bubblebelle told me that mer means sea and maid means girl. Mermaids are sea girls! That sounds like seagulls. It made me laugh when she told me.

Mermaids can do something amazing. They can take off their scales! Their tails turn into legs! Then they can walk on land. It is special magic. Only mermaids can do it.

But they cannot fly. I like to fly. I am happy to be a fairy.

I found something at the seashore. It is a seashell. Maybe the Prince will want a seashell. But I do not know if a seashell is a good gift for a Prince.

I wonder what my surprise is.

Goodbye from Bud Mushroom.
