Excerpt from The Story of Rosy Cheeks and Strong Heart: A Health Reader for the Third Grade
Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Mary Ann who did not believe in fairies. "I have never seen one," she said, "so why should I believe in them?" One night she awoke from a deep sleep. Her room was filled with light, and, bending over her, was a dainty little lady with rosy cheeks and very red lips.
"Who are you?" asked Mary Ann.
In a soft, sweet voice came the answer: "I am one of the fairies who love little children."
"But I never saw you before."
"Well," said the fairy, "you never left your window open before so I could come in."
"Why, so I didn"t," said Mary, looking at the open window, "but do you need to come in through the window? My brother Jack says fairies can go any place and do many wonderful things."
"Some of them can," said the pretty fairy as she kissed her gently on the cheek, "but I fly through the open window, for I live out-of-doors.
