She has sent to you a Birthday Cake.”
Then, as Little Boy winked and blinked his eyes to be sure he was not dreaming, a laughing voice called,
“Fairy Light-Heart brings the candles,
More than one Boy ever handles.”
There shone candles on every step, big candles, little candles, middle-sized candles, Birthday Candles, red, white and blue candles, ready to light the Birthday Cake.
Then he saw boxes, and boxes of candy, while a sugary voice cried,
“Fairy Sweet-Tooth pile them higher,
Of candy, small Boys never tire.”
Little Boy laughed so hard that he rolled right over in a heap on the floor, for the Fairy piled candy right up to the ceiling.
