She spent
all night talking to the bird. “You’ll see: one day your wings will take you
high up to the skies. And then you’ll never be afraid again. She told her about
her own wings: once upon a time she was the tiniest fairy in Fairy Land. She
spent years wishing for her special power to reveal itself - until one stormy
day. The sun was just coming back and she was watching it shine through the
leaves of the gum tree she was under. “- I wish I could have wings like that”
she thought.
“- I’ll make
your wings” – said a young sapling next to her. And ever since then, she never
stopped flying. She finally found her special power and she was roaming,
setting all the birds free. The little white bird said nothing. Her plastic
blue wings were sad and listless. But she had the most amazing song. The fairy
shook her head. She was too young; she didn’t know yet that some birds have
never known freedom outside their cages. She cast a spell and set the toy bird
free. After all, she was the Bird Fairy.
