Come then, said Wonderwings. She took the little fairy's hand and up they rose into the clear air.
Poppypink sat up in bed and yawned. Why is everybody getting up so early? she asked. Is it a holiday?
The older fairies were dressing themselves and brushing their long fine hair. Wonderwings is coming to see us, they said. Jump up, little Poppypink.
Who is Wonderwings? she asked.
You will see when you are dressed. Hurry, or you will miss her.

The older fairies were dressing themselves and combing their long fine hair.
Oh dear! I am so sleepy, said Poppypink, and she yawned again. I don't care about Wonderwings. She snuggled down into the bedclothes again, and went to sleep.
