Never was their a child so beautiful - so light that she could sit on a flower and not crush it, and all the birds were fond of her. You will often see her sitting teaching the little birds to sing. She has great fun with her companions and here you see her riding on one of them.

Never was there such a happy country, all Birds and Babies, playing together, singing, and as merry as the day was long.

So they flew, all day and all night, and after a short time they came to a green bower, all full of Fairies and Butterflies, and funny little people.

But alas ... that story is for another time.
