And as tho humming-birds looked they saw some of their good friends, the honey-suckles, smiling and wuv Ing to them. After they hud all danced tho Blue Fairies said: "Now wo will liavo supper." And at once appeared little toadstool ta bles of ninny different colors, upon which wero delicious dishes for tho Fnlrylund guests, So they sang and nto most luscious food at the .BJuo Fairies' beautiful purty.
