The Purple Fairies
Once upon a time, in a deep dark forest, in a teeny tiny house, lived a little fairy. Her name was Star. She was a magical fairy.
One day, Star was cutting the purple and yellow wildflowers that grew near her house when a strange looking purple butterfly landed on top of the bouquet of colorful flowers, she had in her hand.
"What happened to your wing," the fairy asked, gently touching the butterfly on top of its tiny head. "I'll take care of you. You can just rest on top of the flowers for a while."
To Star fairy's surprise the butterfly, winking his tiny eye, and giving her a smile, replied, “Thank you, kind fairy."
Being a magical fairy, Star could have used her magic to heal the purple butterfly and sent him on his way, but, she decided to take care of him without using her magic.
Suddenly, it started raining, the colorful flowers surrounding her begin to multiply, and the beautiful purple butterfly disappeared, right before her eyes.
Making her way back to her tiny house, head hanging low, feeling sad that she again was all alone; she raised her head to see purple fairies, all holding a bouquet of purple and yellow wildflowers, waiting for her to return home.
Star fairy couldn't believe her eyes. On top of every bouquet of flowers set a beautiful purple butterfly.
"How can this be," Star asked the fairies, joyfully.
An older purple fairy stepped out from among the other fairies.
"Every purple fairy must undergo the test of ‘worthiness’ before joining the purple fairies. Today, when you decided not to use magic to heal the butterfly, you proved to be worthy of the magic powers in your procession. Welcome to the family."
From that day on, Star fairy was never alone again, unless she chose to be.
She had all the purple fairies to keep her company.
Moral of the story: Good things come to those who make the right choices.
