Raggedy Ann's Alphabet Book/EF
Elves and Fairies
On summer evenings, after old Mister Sun has sent up his last golden rays to the fleecy clouds and the gentle dusk of evening settles over all, the tiny Fireflies creep up to the tops of the blades of grass, and fly up in the air, flashing their fairy lamps as they greet each other. This is the time when Elves and Fairies, very tiny creatures, come out to have their Elfin dances and Fairy Rings.
And, as you watch the Fireflies with their tiny lanterns flashing in the grasses, you may be certain that the Elves and Fairies are there too, starting out on wonderful adventures. And when Mother kisses you good night and your pretty eyes grow sleepy, then you know the tiny Elves and Fairies are singing songs and dancing around you, to make your dreams ever and ever so pleasant and happy.
