The Star Fairies - FCEC-7

(Back of
card)
...So
off went Peter with the man in the moon for the most gorgeous trip.
They visited all the stars, saw the bright fairy queens who live
in them and all the little elves and brownies. And then the man
in the moon showed Peter where he stayed in the sky and how he moved
every week so that all the little boys and girls in the world could
see a full moon every month. And Peter could see down below all
the wee little houses (they looked so small from where Peter was)
and the earth, which looked very funny and small, too, from up in
the moon. Peter felt a little afraid at first that he'd fall, but
as he'd never heard of the man in the moon having a tumble to earth
he felt comforted. All too soon the journey had to end, for Peter
heard the distant sound of a breakfast bell.
As
he yawned he realized he'd been sleeping all night by the window.
But, oh, such a gorgeous sleep as it had been!
