_Happyheart:_ I should like to teach them to believe in fairies!
_Peace:_ Perhaps if we could fill their tree with gifts they would not forget!
_Merrylips:_ Let's ask Joy! _Spirit:_ Where is she?
_Happyheart:_ Oh, she is still working. But if we sing her song she will come!
_Merrylips:_ Let's sing, then! (Holds up her finger.) One, two, three! (All sing softly the Christmas Carol, "Joy to the World." As they sing Joy runs into the room. The fairies circle about her.)
_Joy_ (stepping to the foreground and stretching arms): Oh, I am so tired!
_Spirit_ (steps forward and lays her hand on Joy's shoulder): Poor little Joy-fairy!
_Joy:_ I've been so busy making happiness! This funny world needs so much of it and everyone wants something different! And there were so many children! (Turns to the tree.) What--another tree?
_Spirit:_ Yes, and we have no presents! Happyheart can make their hearts light and Peace can give them a song, but, you know, I'd just like to have them have some presents--like children have!
_Merrylips_ (dances a step or two): Fairy presents would be fun! They are more fun than real presents and can make wishes come true!
