Image Description
She will wander down the road until she reaches her destination. A small stream flows by her temporary shelter, just below the chosen spot, and she sets the table, placing cups to welcome her guests - her first friends from home, with their shiny button eyes and sewn smiles.
Then, the more cautious begin to emerge from the shadows and tree hollows: sylphs and nymphs from the water, dryads from the birches, beeches, and oaks, and goblins from underground. They are her companions, whom she awaits, and she cheerfully greets them. They are drawn to her innocent chatter and a mind not yet constrained by notions of 'what should be' and definitions of impossibility. In her world, fish are not confined to the river water - they can swim in the air above this mirrored ribbon of the river - and her forest friends that she hosts at her table are just as welcome as those made of fabric and stuffing.
The Queen of the Fairy Kingdom steps forward, and the fairy entourage retreats, but the girl merely smiles, pours a cup of tea, and kindly offers it.
