LESSON 77 NANCY'S DREAM
NANCY'S DREAM
1. When Nancy's mother had tucked her in bed and kissed her "Good-night," she soon fell asleep.
2. She had such a happy dream about fairies.
3. She dreamt she was in a cool and shady dell, where there were many trees and lovely flowers.
Glow-worms lit up the dell, like tiny stars.
4. She saw dear little fairies peeping from the flowers. Soon they came out, and taking hold of hands, they made a fairy ring on the soft green grass.
5. They danced round the fairy queen, singing softly as they did so.
6. Then they had a feast.
They used tiny mush-rooms for stools and larger ones for tables.
7. Their cups were gum-nuts, and their plates were flower-petals.
8. They sipped honey and had fruit from the trees.
9. Nancy liked to watch their pretty wings as they flew about, playing hide-and-seek.
10. At last it was time to end their play, for fairies must hide away before the peep of day.
11. Nancy watched them bowing to their queen as they said, "Good-night."
12. As the last fairy was about to leave, Nancy did not like being left by her-self in the dell, so she called out, "Please may I go with you?"
13. As she said this, she woke up and found that she was in her own bed and that it was all just a lovely dream.
