It’s Sunday afternoon once again and time for a story. I hope you like my Last Silly Thing.

Last Silly Thing by Allison Symes

The last silly thing he did was to disbelieve me when I said I’d I was leaving. He stood there, gaping, surprised I escaped his trap.

Thankfully, I’m now back home, warning all of the perils of visiting Earth. Some wretched humans have found ways of trapping fairies in jam jars. I can’t figure out how. They’re not that smart. I reckon he was helped.

Worst of all was discovering he hadn’t even cleaned the jar out properly. I’m still removing strawberry jam from my dress.

He can count himself lucky I didn’t put him in the jam jar instead. It was doing that before to another human who’d annoyed me which got me sent back there by the Fairy Queen. She believes in just punishment so…

Oh dear. I think I know who the helper was.

This has been the last silly thing I will do, I swear.
