THE STORY OF THE BUTTERFLY AND THE SPRING FAIRY

One spring day, a butterfly appeared out of nowhere. But not just any butterfly, but one with colorless wings. It was something strange, because spring is known as the season of rebirth of nature and unprecedented colors.

That's exactly why the butterfly was so sad. Why did he not have a bit of color on his wings?

So he set out on the plains to look for color, surely there would be some plant or living thing to lend him some of its color.

The first time, he asked the grass for its green color, and the grass replied that it could not help him, without its spring green it would look like summer grass or worse, it would look dry like in the autumn season.

He then went to the bees to give him some yellow. They didn't even think for a moment to help him, their yellow color is not only used for their body, but also for the honey they produce.

The ladybug didn't even want to hear such a thing, how to give him the red on her wings, without this color she would be a common insect with dots.

Even the hyacinths did not want to help the butterfly, their colors not only give them a special appearance, but also give them a specific smell in the spring season.

The butterfly was very upset, it will remain the only creature of the spring without color.

And as he wept, the Spring Fairy appeared before him:

- Why are you crying, my dear?

- How can I not cry, I'm the only one on this earth that you didn't paint, you left me without a bit of color. The sky is blue, the sun is yellow, the grass is greener, the insects have thousands of colors, my other siblings are colorful, even the snowdrop is covered with a little green, only I am white.

- My dear, on Earth we are all different, all special, because we all have a different purpose, we exist to fulfill a mission.

 - But what mission can I have, as white as I am?

 - Your mission is to show the purity of the spring season, the rebirth of nature, the beauty of this season through its simplicity. And after you complete this mission, I will give you a gift.

- Will you color me?

- No, my dear. But I'll let all the kids paint and color you. That way, whenever a child gets a picture of you, they'll be able to give you thousands and thousands of colors that will make you fly!

Hearing this, our strong butterfly rejoiced and accepted his destiny, because he knew that he was thus given the most beautiful gift, to be colored in thousands of colors by the purest souls, the children.

                     The Spring Fairy 

    Once upon a time, there was a land ruled by the ruthless winter. Everything was covered  by snow and ice .

        But, one day, something magical happened: the land started to transform itself  into the greenest, lushest land.

     All because, finally, the Spring Fairy, had awaken  from her long slumber.

     Once awake, she started to colour everything : green leafs. pink  and yellow tulips, purple butterflies.

She took great pleasure in colouring a specific garden. It belonged to a liitle girl , named Theo.

    Although young, she had,  as ones say,  a green thumb. She took great care of her snowdrops, her tulips and hyacinths, her violets  and daffodils.

    To such lenght was the Spring Fairy impressed by the hard work of the little girl that she even brought pretty butterflies, ladybugs and tiny bumblebees as a final touch to that beautiful garden.

    When all was completed, little Theo was incredibly happy that she had such a wonderfull and magical garden !

         The story "The Singing Forest"

                   The story "The Singing Forest"

     Once upon a time, there was a singing forest, the most beautiful and special place in the whole world. If you get to visit that fairytale place, you will surely understand that it is a place where you never want to leave. Fragrant flowers, tall trees, the wind gently blowing through the green leaves, along with all the living things that live there make the singing forest a wonderful place. And above all this, it is full of music and song. It is full of music, the music of the birds. This very evening, there is a special show, the main protagonist of which is Lea Swan, a presence always loved and admired by the other birds in the forest, thanks to the talent and grace with which she sings and dances on the blue lake.

She always walks around dressed in the most elegant clothes, and around her neck she wears a gorgeous necklace of bright pink pearls.

It doesn't take long and the whole forest bursts into applause, all eager to see and hear the wonderful swan Lea. When it made its appearance, the rays of the setting sun softly illuminated the delicate movements of the swan. Two more pirouettes and the graceful swan began to sing delightful trills and harmonies that left the audience full of delight. This whole show was repeated over and over again, every spring, to everyone's delight. As I said at the beginning of this story, the forest delights us so much that you will always want to remain a spectator at this celebration of Spring .

                            THe Fairy TulipS

Once upon a time there were   two  girls  who lived in a little house. They had in their garden  beautiful  tulips

One night they were wakened by the sounds of sweet singing and of babies laughing. They looked out at the window. The sounds seemed to come from the tulips, but they could see nothing.

The next morning they walked among their flowers, but there were no signs of any one having been there the night before.

On the following night they were again wakened by sweet singing and babies laughing.. The moon was shining brightly on  tulips , and the flowers were swaying to and fro. The two girls looked closely and they saw, standing by each tulip, a little Fairy mother who was crooning and rocking the flower like a cradle, while in each tulip cup lay a little Fairy baby laughing and playing.

The little girls went quietly back to their  house, and from that time on they never picked a tulip, nor did they allow their neighbors to touch the flowers.

The tulips grew daily brighter in color and larger in size, and they gave out a delicious perfume like that of roses. They began, too, to bloom all the year round. And every night the little Fairy mothers caressed their babies and rocked them to sleep in the flower cups.
