Wild life in Fairy Land

Rumpelstiltskin

Once upon a time there was a poor woodcutter who had a beautiful daughter. The woodcutter was very proud of her.

One day he boasted to the king, "My daughter can spin straw into gold."

If your daughter can do this," said the king, "bring her to me and I shall see."

So the woodcutter went home and told his daughter to wear her most lovely dress and come before the king.
The king took the girl to a room in his castle that was filled with straw. As he showed her the spinning wheel in the corner he said, "Spin this straw into gold by sunrise or you shall die."

The woodcutter's daughter sat on the stool and began to cry.
Suddenly, the door creaked open and a strange little man appeared.

"What will you give me to spin this straw into gold?" asked the little man.

"I'll gladly give you my necklace."

"Good," he said taking the necklace.

The little man set to work and by sunrise the room was filled with gold.
When the king saw the gold he became greedy. He got more straw.

"By sunrise all this shall be gold."

Once more the woodcutter's daughter began to cry. In a moment the door opened and in came the strange little fellow.

"What will you give me this time?" he asked.

"I'll gladly give you my ring," said the girl.

"Good," said the little man as he sat down to spin the straw.

By sunrise all the straw was gold. Once more the king was pleased. He got even more straw.

"Spin this straw into gold and in the morning I shall marry you and make you my queen."

When the king went away the little fellow returned.

"What will you give me this time?" he asked.

"I've nothing left to give," replied the woodcutter's daughter.

"Then you shall give me your first child when you are queen."

She promised the little man her first child.

By sunrise the straw was gold and the king married the woodcutter's daughter.

The happy queen had a baby boy and forgot all about her promise.

One day the little man came to take the queen's baby boy. The queen begged to keep her child. The little man said, "You have three days to guess my name. If you can't, I shall take your baby boy."

All night the queen thought of every name. In the morning when the little man came she tried all of them. At each one the little man said, "No. It is not I."

On the second day she tried even more names.

"No. It is not I," said the little man.

That night one of the queen's messengers came to her to tell of a strange sight indeed.
While riding through the forest he had seen a fire. Around the fire danced an odd fellow who sang a song.
This was what he sang:

"Today I bake, tomorrow I brew,
Then, dear prince, I come for you.
None can guess, none can claim
That Rumpelstiltskin is my name."
That night the little man came calling.

"What is my name?" he asked, jumping up and down.

"It's Robin," answered the queen.

"It is not!"

"It's Jack," said the queen.

"It is not!"

"Then Rumpelstiltskin is your name."

At this the little fellow flew into a rage.

"Curses!", he shrieked, and stamped his feet so hard that he fell through the floor and disappeared forever.

The Brunette and the Genie

A brunette is walking through the country, when she finds a bottle. She rubs it, and you guessed it, a genie appears.

The genie says, "You are allowed three wishes. But, I must warn you, anything you get, all the blondes in the world get twice as much."

The woman says, "Okay. Give me a nice house."

The genie replies, "You now have one nice house and all the blondes in the world have two."

Then the lady says, "Give me a gorgeous man."

The genie replies, "You now have one gorgeous man, while all the blondes have two."

The lady says, "For my last wish, Genie, see that stick over there? Beat me half to death with it."

This leprechaun is wanted for taking money out of my money jar. At first, I thought I might have put my gold else where, then I thought I might have a hole in my jar. But noooo. I've seen him, with his hand in my jar ! I'm sure I'm not the only one who's gold seems to go as if by magic ! No Fairy's it's not Magic, it's that darn leprechaun.

So be warned Fairy's he is on the prowl, he needs our gold to add to his pot of gold.

Three Little Pigs

Three Little Pigs went out to dinner one night.
The waiter comes and takes their drink order.
"I would like a Sprite," said the first little piggy.
"I would like a Coke," said the second little piggy.
"I want water, lots and lots of water," said the third little piggy.

The drinks are brought out and the waiter takes their orders for dinner.
"I want a nice big steak," said the first piggy.
"I would like the salad plate," said the second piggy.
"I want water, lots and lots of water," said the third little piggy.

The meals were brought out and a while later the waiter
approached the table & asked if the piggies would like any dessert.
"I want a banana split," said the first piggy.
"I want a root beer float," said the second piggy.
"I want water, lots and lots of water," exclaimed the third little piggy.

"Pardon me for asking," said the waiter! to the third little piggy,
"but why have you only ordered water all evening?"
The third piggy says,
"Well, somebody has to go 'Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!"

More about wings of Time

I thought I would tell you a little more about myself. As you can see on the left of this Blog, I was born in 1700's under a mushroom in Wiltshire England. So that makes me a very old Fairy. Wise ? As an owl, tough ? As old boots, Wrinkled ? Hmm let's not go there, we'll just say a prune has nothing on me !
I remember when I was a young fairy, many many moons ago. Not a wrinkle in site! Dancing under the moon and star's, at the mid summer's night ball, till the early hours of the morning. I was always sleepy but very happy going home. Sat on the back of a snail taxi, heading home to Mushroom gardens. I would remember all the Elf's I got to dance with. Summer Bell fairy, getting the hiccups ever time an Elf would ask her to dance. * laughs * Then their was Bluebell Fairy. You know the type. Head held high, nose in the air. Always having something nasty to say to us Fairy's. Me? Couldn't give a monkey's really. I loved to laugh, have fun and dance the night away. It doesn't matter to me if you had one gold coin in your pocket or 10, if your nice to me, I'm nice to you.

Speaking of gold, I either have a hole in my jar, as all my gold is disappearing, or that darn leprechaun is back ! Caught him with his hand in my money jar taking my gold last week. He said " Wings of time, I'm just counting it. " Yeah right, that's why he was red as a tomato!

Ok my Fairy's I need to go look at my garden, see what needs watering, and what needs weeding. Will be back soon, tomorrow night I will tell you the story of the Three little Pigs..
Night night sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite

Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood is skipping down the road
when she sees the Big Bad Wolf crouched down behind a log.
"My, what big eyes you have, Mr. Wolf,"
says Little Red Riding Hood.
The surprised wolf jumps up and runs away.
Further down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again;
this time he is crouched behind a tree stump.
"My, what big ears you have Mr. Wolf," says Little Red Riding Hood.
Again the foiled wolf jumps up and runs away.
About 2 miles down the road, Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again, this time crouched down behind a road sign.
"My, what big teeth you have Mr. Wolf," taunts Little Red Riding Hood.
With that the Big Bad Wolf jumps up and screams,
"Will you get lost? I'm trying to take a dump!"
