The fairy is a character in the story, The Fairies' Gifts, where she appears to hand out presents to newborn children. When she is caught by the father of a child that's been forgotten, she immediately calls forth the gift of "pleasing" for the boy. Unfortunately, the father then calls her gift into question.
