After a while, sheswitched off the TV, stood upand kept Nellie inside his littlehome. That was when she heardsomething move behind herthrough the glass of her housesomewhere from inside thebushes. She opened the windowto see who is there, but shecouldn’t see anyone and askedaloud, “Who is there?”When she turned around, shesaw a majestic giant lion emerg-

ing from the bushes in clearsight. However, instead of get-ting scared, she felt mind blownto see a whimsical creature ap-pear in front of her, so she askedhim, “What’s your name? Wherehave you come from? How didyou get inside my house?” Themagical lion replied, “My nameis Steve. I have come from fairy-land and I used the fairy magic toenter inside your house.” Re-becca couldn’t believe her eyesand immediately got drawn to-wards the idea of going to fairy-land herself. Hesitatingly, she inquired, “Willyou also take me to fairyland?Please.” The lion looked at herand said, “Yes, sure child. Comeon! Welcome aboard.” ExcitedRebecca asked Steve if she couldbring Nellie along with her and

soon, the three of themwhooshed off to fairyland. Afterreaching the destination, Re-becca couldn’t believe her eyesand happily cried out, “Wow! Sobeautiful!

She isthe most beautiful and every-body adores her kindness.” Theyall knelt down with their handsrested on their knees waiting forthe Queen to acknowledge theirpresence and grace them withher blessings. After she went away, Steve tookRebecca and Nellie to explorethe land further. There werefountains of fairy magic dustflowing, with pretty little fairies

collecting magic dust for them-selves. All around were fairieslaughing and singing merrily,they were decorating theirhouses with beautiful flowersand leaves using magic. Somefairies who had completed dec-orating their houses were trans-forming themselves intobeautiful creatures. One of the fairies saw Rebeccaand asked her, “Hello there!What would you like to be?” Ex-citedly, she said, “I would like tobe the most beautiful butterfly inthe world.” “Poof!”, a hugesplash of glitter was sprinkledover Rebecca and in an instant,she turned into an extremelybeautiful butterfly. Rebecca,Steve and all the fairies hadloads of fun that day. It was nowtime to bid farewell and returnhome. “Aaah!

AIS Gurugram 46, V F

Pollution runs thick in the airBringing sadness and despair

Litter piled tall on the roadsGarbage heaps, filthy loads

Clear skies are now a dreamCan you hear the Earth scream?

The sorry state of environment Should make our hearts melt

So, let’s all make a difference And preserve the green belt

Let us pledge to be awareAnd nourish it with great care

Live today as Environment DayMake our planet blissful to stay!
