Once upon a time there was a fairy called Fairy Dainty. She was lovely and petite and slender but fed up because she could do all these things for children but could not stop herself from eating muffins with jam and cream, sometimes salad and salad cream which is less sweeter.
Every time she went by a cake shop her mouth watered and her body was getting fatter and fatter, day by day and week by week. She had a silver crown that hardly fitted and a shiny wand too heavy to lift. Her Red Ballet Dress with white stars and sparkly straps on was getting too tight “ Oh Dear!” she cried “What can I do?” children named her “Muffin” She did not like that name so Dainty went into the shop and asked if they would kindly put the muffins on the lower shelf "Sorry, I can't do that as I have to sell them” .The children could not understand that if she could make their dreams come true why she could not wave her wand and make herself slimmer. Dainty could not bend down and tie her Red ballet pumps up She was so sad but then a thought came to her. I will avoid the quick way to the shop and go for long walks through the park and if puffed out sit on the park bench until I can walk faster. I will then go home back into the garden where children talk to me from their gardens and grant their wishes too by waving my magic wand before they go off to bed to sleep.
I will lose weight and walk around the garden again and again. Soon Fairy Dainty could not just only walk but bend and tie up her Red ballet shoes and she danced around and around every day and every hour children noticed her out again and the transformation, oh so slim, running and dancing again no longer did they nick-name her” muffin” but Fairy Dainty their special fairy who fulfilled their wishes. Now she tried on her red dress again and it fitted. Her wish had come true.

Liked the use of the fairy tale genre here - the wish granting fairy having her own wish, really funny! J x

This is a lovely story julie and one that has a morale behind it, that eating and not getting any excercise is not the way to go. I loved the title too, I'm so glad Fairy Dainty got her red dress to fit. Great work! Jenny.

New skinner_jennifer Wow! jennifer I am over whelmed to see,you kindly, read this! Although can't get it quite like I want. Because way back,you can tell! Thrilled you read, probably needs altering quite a bit! I get carried away! hope your well. Go on. Enjoy your expert work! Made my day! julie x

Hi julie, you know I don't think it needs altering at all, I'm a great believer that the angels help us in our art and I think if you wrote it down this way, that's the way it should stay, to be quite honest I think its perfect, even though I know some people might say there's room for improvement. But then it's your work and you should do whatever you feel needs doing. Again, I have to say that I loved your story a lot. Have a great day. Jenny.x

new skinner_jennifer Hi! jennifer,my word what have I done to deserve this, Thankyou. wonderful compliment! I fully agree! but it was only my 2nd attempt on here. But it's with you and all the AbcTaler's helped and Editor t.cook 9Tony) nearly gave up once! and to try and get my goal. If have had bad day,moody! Things go wrong, now Ray had o re-tire! It can effect how to plan,poem or try a story! sometimes if you know what I mean? Finger's won't go right and Ray comes in mumbling! So have to choose quiet time,out. No church used go 8-am and in week,back for sundays! year's. So much help to me,priest's then there. At one church involve in all. So do other things now! as help was constant in all did and can do. Now different 10 months away,no one got in touch! why! bother I can pray now at home! And help other's maybe. Only church out three,did so much,taking out,places re-treats,hlping xmas homeless all helped me. Yes,there is one kind thing you can do for me,my first poem 2009 "My Birthday Surprise" think I called it,I put or Ray did small profile photo on of the beautiful dress". Which don't have an occasion to wear much! And magazine 23 to be in omg achievement,but photo Rays sent chopped! of the book I won. So now changed photo,do you think it's better or the last, do have your point of view. But if stick at computer,I now get verses,or annoyed! come to me before bed,like you,but gone by morning! But as we don't know the facts of people's lives! It is hard for some. This is a clip in the paper! TALKING TALL:Powerful people do feel bigger than the rest of us mere mortals,it would appear. The effect of having influence over others can cause people to grow several centimetres in their minds,according to a US study in Psychological Science journal. What are your views! I am not saying it doesn't but I truly feel it's the way it is done! don't you. Daughter and hubby like that,love them,but can't keep up to their mind IQ. Quick to tell, not listen or show! Grasp things so quickly!! I was like that in big family, most of us no certificates. We are what we are! I am one you can teach me till blue in the face,I won't get it whatever,then won't, but both clever. Can't see little things,how I receive it? Not bullying it's I know it all, in a way! Let me show you. But for his brother spend hour on,phone teaching him differences on computer nearly same as his I use. Found out after three weeks,daughter's been in bed three days, her health! problem,and finger's hurt, land line not working,no reading emails. Now heard and been with friend and tell's me took her mum". yuck? to picture's see "War Horse". She used come and hubby every sunday lunch! Times change! young ones don't see how we worry! do they And particularly, one can only work now. Thanks for all your help,and kind advice! coming from a good writer. Have a good day too,sunny cold! Hope your well. Nolan sometimes looks up and old poem of mine! I love that don't you! julie xx

Hi again julie, thankyou for your long newsy letter, yes I do love it, when people read some of my older stuff, it's good to get comments, because it makes you feel as if someone actually cares. Regarding your question on whether I think TALKING TALL: is how I see life, no I don't agree with that statement, mainly because I think we are all different, just because people of power tell you to do something, it doesn't always mean it's right. For instance I myself don't follow other peoples examples, if I feel they are wrong, I go with my gut instincts and they are usually right, sometimes people that have power, are more afraid than people without power, I expect you know what I mean. I shall look up My Birthday Surprise and have a read of it. Jenny.x

New skinner_jeenifer Thanks lovely answer. I believe exactly like you too. I feel it is a bit degrading,and the paper is wrong! Because so many in life! try their hardest and encouragement is the word. To help anyone. Depends how one's power is used? It entirely depleats me. But something happens most of the time now? Liking whatever do inside or out? cheap rings,anything like painted nails daughter would do for me, wouldn't do, not for church, anyway black and brown was colour, morbid so choose bright colours! Lifting on a bad weather day. Must go on and read some of your good poems from way back. julie xx
