LESSON 55 THE MOON FAIRY

THE MOON FAIRY

Look-and-Say words

Sound-and-Say words

1. One night, as Meg lay in bed, she saw the big round moon in the sky.

2. She sat up to look at a silver path which made a bright light from the moon on to her bed.

3. She saw a little fairy coming down the path. The fairy came right into the room.

4."Good-night, Meg," she said.

I saw you from the moon, so I came down the moon-beam path to you. Would you like to pay a visit to the moon?

5. "Oh yes, please," said Meg. "It must be a grand sight up there."

6. "Just take a tight hold of my hand, and I shall make you so slight, that you can pass along the silver path with me," said the fairy.

7. The Old Man in the Moon was glad to see them.

8. The fairy took Meg round the sky to visit the baby stars.

9. "Watch me take a flight," said a baby star to Meg.

10. Meg got a fright, for it seemed to fall right out of the sky.

11. "Now, I must take you home, while the silver path is still bright," said the moon fairy. "We must be out of the sky before sun-rise."

12. So she took Meg back home and left her in her own soft bed.
