"So he said, 'You know that I have to make all snowflakes like stars. Some of them are very pretty. I will change you into the prettiest star snowflake that I know.'
"'And when you melt,' said Jack Frost, 'you will be a water fairy again. You will always be good then, won't you?'
"So he changed her into a beautiful star snowflake. I have seen her picture. The Story Lady showed it to me."
"Let's find her," said Peter. "Then let's show her to the Story Lady. That will be better than the picture."
So the children looked and looked. They found many stars. But Polly was not sure that any one of them was the right one.
At last Peter found the most beautiful star of all. "This is the water fairy, this is the water fairy!" he cried.
And Polly said, "It does look like the picture. So let's go and show it to the Story Lady."
Down they went to her house and into the kitchen. There was the Story Lady, washing dishes.
"O Story Lady," said Peter. "I have the water fairy on my arm! She is changed into a star. See her!"
But when the Story Lady looked, there was no star snowflake.
