It is said that fairies leave gifts for children. Let us read a
poem in which a fairy leaves something for the poet. She uses
it well and does not waste it at all.
I found a little brown purse,
The fairies left for me,
It was stitch’d with
green and yellow,
As pretty as could be.
It was full of fairy-money,
As full as it could be,
So I bought a pot of honey,
And had it for my tea.
—Irene F. Pawsey
