How to Make a Fairy Door

What is a fairy door? It's made out of paper and you can make it lead to any fairy place or stuff that you want.

How do you make one? First, you get a piece of paper. Next, you fold it in half.  Then make sure that you are not drawing the door on the folded part. Instead, draw it on the bottom edge of the page. Then you can color it in any way you like. Then you need to cut only one line up from the edge, and then the top line of the door. Do NOT cut through both pages - only one page.

Now you have your own fairy door!

The Fairy Baby

A poor man was driving his only sheep to market. He was passing through a desolate spot when suddenly a great clamor arouse. He could not see anything but he could hear something being shouted above the uproar.

"Oh, there's a bairn born but ther's naething to pit on't!"

The man realized it was the fairies celebrating the birth of a fairy baby but also bemoaning the fact that they had no clothes for it. The kindhearted fellow took off his cloak and threw it down on the ground. It was snatched away and the sounds of rejoicing could be heard. He went on his way to the market. Once there, he sold his sheep for an unusually high price. Good luck was bestowed upon him for the rest of his life and he became a wealthy man."

I found another one!

I can't believe it - I found another one! I think this is a grown-up fairy wing because it's much, much bigger than the other one. I found this myself, right next to the place where we found the other one. It was near a huge peanut shell that I thought looked like a baby's crib. In a book I read, they say one of fairies favorite trees are nut trees, and we have four in a row in our yard. Both the fairy wings that I found were under the nut trees.

Something Strange

Last night, I was awake in the middle of the night. Suddenly something gripped on above my lip. I felt it; it felt like a butterfly's wing. I shook my head just to make sure it was real, and I still felt something grabbing on. When I touched it again, it flew off...and four of its wing sheddings fell off, too. My mom couldn't get me back to sleep, so she suggested we go back into my bedroom (because I was sleeping in a different room that night). I said Yes, because when I got up I saw a trail of glittery dust going into my bedroom.  Do you think it was a fairy, or just a dream?
