So Ethel ran home and told her mother all about the fairy and her friends.  “Oh, mamma! do you suppose the fairy really and truly took me to the country?” said Ethel.

“No,” said mamma, “I think my little girl was asleep and dreaming; but, for all that, the animals on the farm are really among our very best friends.”

“Yes, I know that,” said Ethel, “how I wish I could see them!” And for many days after her wonderful dream Ethel never went to the park without thinking of how the little fairy in green took her to visit all her friends in the country.
