The Wand
Tina was angry! She had tried to cast a spell at the king’s ball but had been denied. “Can you
imagine?”
she thought, “Me! Just imagine that the most adorable fairy in the countryside is not
allowed to cast her spell.”
Just the thought of it made Tina’s blood boil. Was it truly her fault that
her wand had been bent and
wouldn’t work? King Trenton had grown tired,
so when it came time for Tina, she had been dismissed
after just five minutes. King Trenton wouldn’t wait another second.
“Oh, what am I going to do? The humiliation of it all!” thought Tina.
Tina began
trying to straighten her wand, hoping that it would help. She thought smugly to herself that
the spell she was planning to cast was “prosperity.” No other fairy had remembered to use that one.
“I bet the King will
wish for that in a few years,” thought Tina.
She pulled harder on her wand, when all of a sudden it snapped in two. Tina
sat staring at what she
had done. Did this mean she would never cast a spell again? Did that mean that she wasn’t a fairy
anymore? Why was she always in a mess?
Tina went straight to the head fairy’s house and pounded on the door. She
glanced at her watch to see
that it was very late in the evening. Was it too late to call on the head fairy now? Tina cringed when
she thought of creating another mishap this evening.
