The fairy ointment

 







the fairy ointment


margot goody was a nurse that looked


after sick people and minded babies


one night she woke up at midnight and


when she went downstairs


she saw a strange fellow who asked her


to come to his house as his wife was too


ill to mind their baby




please my wife is very sick and i cannot


put the baby to sleep margot goody at


once popped on her things and went down


to him they rode and they rode


till at last they stopped before a  cottage door


marco followed the man who entered a


beautiful bedroom where a woman lay on a


bed with an adorable little baby boy


beside her hello dear


thank you for visiting


it's the arms you see i can't move my


arms they hurt a lot


oh i am so sorry


don't worry i'll be fine


if you could please put my boy to sleep


that would be sure marvo took the baby


and cradled its head in her arms at once


the boy went to sleep ah he slept


already oh don't be fooled honey for my


boy is a naughty one and will soon open


his eyes oh but he at that moment the


baby opened his eyes again and began to


cry what did i tell you


now when you put him to sleep again take


that ointment and rub it on his forehead


he will sleep for the night


and that's what she did


when margot was finally able to put the


baby to sleep again she took the


ointment and gently applied it on the


baby's forehead something is strange i


have never seen such a thing in my


nursing career margot was a curious


person and when she saw that the man and


the woman were talking amongst


themselves she applied a little bit of


the ointment on her forehead


no sooner than she had done so


everything seemed changed about the  place


the cottage became elegantly furnished


the mother in the bed was a beautiful


fairy dressed up in white silk


the little baby's clothes were made of


sort of a silvery gauze


and the man was the fairy king


margot goody realized that she had got


into the house of fairies


but she said nothing


and as soon as the lady was well enough


to mine the baby she asked the fairy


king to take her back home


and so the fairy king dropped margot


home without knowing that she could see


who he really was   thank you dear


here a dozen of gold coins for your


service goodbye


and saying that the fairy king went away


and marco could see that the horse was


flying away through the air wow


that was unreal now margot lived all by 

herself


she had lost her parents when she was


little and was brought up by her aunt


who was a nurse herself


margot loved her aunt more than anything


but unfortunately ill health took her


away the previous year


and now margot was left all alone no friends


no family   except for her dog viscus


good night viscous when the next         


morning came


margot was awakened by a strange voice


one that she had never heard before


margo   wake up  take me for a walk


margo


as margot opened her eyes she was


astonished to see viscus talking viscous


are you talking


you can speak or is this a dream   wait


you can hear me    yes   oh


thank god i've been talking to you   forever


now i really want to go out for a walk


and then maybe you could buy me a


delicious bone from the dog store

wow     this is unreal


it is the fairy ointment isn't it


the what oh never mind    let's go


a happy margot bought a bone for viscous


and the two happily walked about the


park when she heard a butterfly talk to


a sunflower beautiful day ain't it don't


talk to me please


she could also see little pixies paint


flowers and help ants move in a straight


line yes keep moving keep moving


and she could hear the birds sing


delightful songs


margot saw it all and realized how


magical nature really was


as they walked a little ahead she saw an


old lady sitting under a tree moaning in


pain


margot at once rushed to her oh are you


alright grandma


i was just taking a walk when these old


legs began to hurt


i thought i'd sit down for a while but


now i can't get up and the pain is


excruciating    let me see


i'm a nurse


margot bent down and touched the old


woman's feet to examine when glitters


from her hands flowed through the old


woman oh the pain is   wait  the pain   huh


the pain is gone


and at once the old woman jumped up on


her feet and hugged margot


oh you fine lass thank you thank you


thank you i feel fine


what did you do      i um


margot was confused


she looked at viscous what are you i


i don't know


did you see that spark i didn't see any


spark but i saw that a mere touch from


your hand cured that woman


and you can talk to me


what is going on


magic my good boy viscous


magic is what's going on


come on let's go to the market we have


plenty of things to buy


and so off the two went to the market


and on their way


margot fed a beggar helped an old man


cross the road


and helped an injured bird heal with


just a mere touch


margot was delighted at her newfound


abilities but it was all going to end


for when she reached the market she saw


the fairy king who went about from stall


to stall taking up things from each


here's some fruit and there's some eggs


and so on


and no one seemed to take any notice


margo at once walked up to him good day


sir


i hope your good lady and the little one


are as well as but she couldn't finish


what she was saying for the fairy king


stared back in surprise   what


do you see me today


see you why of course i do as plain as


the sun in the sky the fairy king's face


turned pale and at once he disappeared


into the air oh was he rude or something


viscous


on their way back from the market


margo saw a man crying by the brook what


is it     why do you cry   oh   i


a nasty witch has taken my eyes shine


away because i refused to help her with


witchcraft


and now i cannot see


my wife it's her birthday today and


probably the last one for she is very   ill


she waits for me at home


what am i to do now   oh   no  oh no


is there any way i can help


oh will you be so kind as to lend me


your eyes for a day um   well


please just for one day i will give them


back to you tomorrow but how do i give


you my eyes    just say


i lend you that that helps me see


take it today and bring it back tomorrow


to me


that's what the witch told me she said


if only a kind-hearted person will give


me their eyes then i will be able to see


again  no   don't


this is some sort of trick


do not trust him i don't know viscous if


i should trust him but i know i must


help him regardless and with that


margot stepped forward and said the


words i lend you that that helps me see


take it today and bring it back tomorrow


to me and as soon as she had said that a


bright light filled the air and the old


man turned into the fairy king and


beside him appeared the fairy queen they


smiled   you


it was luck that gave you fairy vision


and powers but it is your heart that


truly makes you a fairy


margo goody we hereby officially turn


you into a fairy


that is if you would like to continue


helping people


margot chuckled for there was nothing


more she would want to be


she agreed and the fairy queen moved her


wand and at once a pair of wings emerged


on her back you have a pure heart   go on


make us all proud


and viscous he will always accompany you


oh thank you thank you thank you does


that make me a fairy dog


so that was the story of margot who is


now a fairy and travels around the world


with viscous together they help people


and come to think of it it all happened


because of the fairy ointment
