Once there were three pixie sisters who were not quite so mischievous as the others. Instead of tying horses manes into knots, or scattering the geese at midnight, or letting the fox into the hen house, they preferred to dance with Moon Princess in Dreamland. They had such a very lovely time of it. But of course, you know that their cousins were all very jealous and used to tease them about it quite a bit. But they didn't mind. Dancing with Moon Princess is worth more than ten rose petals floating on the still waters of Lake Beauty-Under-Stars, so the pixie sisters paid no attention to the teasers, except to say once in a blue moon, "If you weren't so jealous and annoying about it, you could have joined us instead. Then you might have had as much fun as we have had." Whenever they heard this, the other pixies would let out a wail and vanish into the marshes where they belonged. And so the pixie sisters enjoyed their time with Moon Princess, and the dear girl was happy to have the company.
