Tinkerbell the Teacher

The Queen of all the fairies sent for Peter Pan’s little friend Tinker Bell, one day.
“In my palace there are two baby fairies who are ready to learn to fly,” said the Fairy Queen.  “Please teach them for me, Tinker Bell.”
Of course, every fairy has to do what the Fairy Queen tells them to do.
Tinker Bell though her job would be an easy one.  She held one baby fairy in each arm and flew with them to a tree.  She put the on a branch, and stood beside them.
“Flap your wings, and off you go!” said Tinker Bell, and they would not move.!
“Oh dear !” Though Tinker BELL.  “They’re frightened.  What shall I do?”
Now, the leaves were beginning to fall from the tree and as two leaves floated down past Tinker Bell, the fairy had an idea.
She picked two of the nearest leaves and she set a baby fairy on each leaf.  She gave the leaves a gentle push, and the leaves floated down towards the ground.
“Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!’ chuckled the babies. “What a lovely ride.  Floating down though the air is very nice.”
When the babies reached the ground, Tinker Bell flew down to them.
“Yes,” she smiled, “it is nice to float through the air.  Now let’s see if you can do it without the leaves.”
Tinker Bell took the babies to a high branch once more.  Then she said :
“Off you go !”
This time, they did jump !
“Flap your wings!” called Tinker Bell.
 The baby fairies did flap their wings, and how they enjoyed themselves!
“We’re flying!” We’re flying!” they clled.  “Thank you, Tinker Bell ! Thank You !”
