Faries of the Flowers

What a beautiful day. The sun is shinning and it is so nice and warm out. I thought I would take a book and go down by the water that is on the end of the glen and lie on a blanket and read for awhile. When I had settled down and was deep into my book I noticed out of the corner of my eye that there were two faries carrying large tulips in their hands and they seeme to be sloshing water as they went into the glen.  My curiousity got the best of me and I got up and followed them into the glen. There I saw that they had gone to a bunch of lovely flowers and that they were pouring the water on the roots of the flower. The poor flower was drooping down and when it got the water it was like magic. It started to stand taller and didn't droop anymore. The two faries smiled at each other and turned to go back and get more water when they spotted me standing there. They looked startled and I hestitally explained that I was a friend and the owner of the glen that they lived in and no harm would come to them. I asked them their names and the one dressed in blue said that she was Bluebell, how appropriate a name. the one in pink said that she was Lily. They explained to me that this was their job to keep the flowers looking their best. Because of the lack of rain and the heat some of the flowers in the glen needed special attention today. How lovely they both looked as they smiled at me. I asked if I could help them in anyway, and they said yes if I really wanted to I could. They each had a tulip to carry water in , but what could I use? Then I remembered that I had brought a bottle of water with me in case I got thirsty while I was reading my book. So I went and got that bottle and used it to water a few of the flowers that Bluebell and Lily said needed the moisture the most. The three of us spent about an hour going back and forth watering the flowers that were so thirsty and like magic each one we watered started to stand taller and drooped no more. I never knew that faries had charge of taking care of the flowers in the glen. Bluebell and Lily told me that each day the Farie Princess gave different jobs to all of the faries under her care. This way each got to do something different and each got a chance to do the really nice jobs and no one person had to do all the hard ones all of the time. Of course, the men faries had the harder jobs, because they were much stronger and able to handle them better. This surprised me because I don't think anyone really knew that faires did work everyday. We talked for the whole time we worked and they thanked me for my help before they left to return back to there homes in the glen.  I was hoping that they would tell me more about how they lived and what they do and I had a million questions to ask them, but I know that they will be here a long time, so my questions can wait. I am sure in time they will all be answered. I wonder if anyone else has any questions they would like answered about the faries in the glen.
