Drippy: Tidy mun! The pooer Author went and got herself sick, she did! So I decided to come in and tell my own tale! So, here you are, mun! The tale of why I've got myself a lantern!
Well, quite a tidy while back ago, there was a little fairy who was born. He was a pretty brave fairy. Nothing could scare this littlie! Why, he even went against a big baddie with nothing but the lantern on his nose, he did! Of course, he got turned into a doll, but he was still brave and kept a fair face! But this is not the story of why he got turned into a doll. This is the story of where he got the lantern.
One day, he was walking through the forest, after just defeating a great big dragon that had been bothering the other fairies, when he saw a wizard crying. There was a pool of tears, mun! The fairy, being thirsty, took a drink from the pool then went on his merry way, he did. The next day, he walked by again and found the wizard still there, still crying like the wimp he was.
"Oi, mun! Why don't you stop being a cry baby bunting, eh?"
"I can't! I'm too afraid of the dark!" The wizard told him, all bunting like. The fairy thought for a moment, he did, then snapped his fingers, and conjured up a lantern. "Here you go, mun! Just carry this around and there won't be any dark for you to be afraid of!" The wizard took the lantern, and thanked the fairy, then left.
Well, the fairy was still pretty thirsty, so he took another drink from the pool of tears, he did! And from the tears, he grew a lantern like the one that he gave the wizard on the end of his nose!
It's a proper short tale, it is, but it's entirely true! So if you see a little fairy with a lantern on his nose, you tell him that he's very brave, he is!
