Once upon a time, seven fairies lived just below the earth’s surface. One early spring, one of the fairies found a trickle of rain flowing into her dwelling, and because the rain seemed so fresh against the dark backdrop of where the fairie lived, the fairie thought, “If only this fresh coolness could be here always.”
This caused the fairie to follow the rain, venturing above ground, to a magical world where nature was waking from its winter sleep.
The fairie told the other fairies in fairieland about her discovery so all seven ran to the surface, to play with the new spring seedlings growing in this magical world.
