The Hungry Fairy

“I will turn you into a beansprout,” said the fairy to the mischievous firefly.

“You wouldn’t! Whom else will you chase hour after hour at the ending of the day? Who else would light your way?” the firefly said.

“It doesn’t matter, firefly. I will turn you into a beansprout,” said the fairy again, this time with a giggle at the end.

“You wouldn’t! Whom else would you hold in the palm of your hand until the tickle of their feet make you laugh? Who else will forgive when a wave of your wand zaps them?” the firefly said.

“My dear firefly, I am hungry. Who else would I call on to fill my hunger?”

“You wouldn’t!” the firefly shrieked.

“I will turn you into a beansprout,” the fairy said with a wave of her wand.

A beansprout landed gently in the palm of her hand. She held it eye level and said, “Oh, my dear firefly, but I would.”
