O nce upon a time in a faraway land, there lived the tiniest fairy moth of them all. Her name was Gingledorf. One morning, Gingledorf was off doing her favorite morning thing, smelling the flowers, when she decided to stop to sit on a rock to gather her thoughts. Sometimes, this was a hard thing to do, because fairy thoughts might get sprinkled with fairy dust and then just fly away. Now, we should all remember that Gingledorf is a tiny creature who is small enough to hide in back of a daisy, or get lost under a big maple leaf. Gingledorf was the child of the queen of the fairies and the king of the moths. She had about a thousand cousins of all sorts and sizes.

I want to be your friend.” Malicesandra was very surprised and did not know what to say. Gingledorf went on to tell the other fairies that with the help of some new friends she had come up with a new game. It was called Catch the Nut. With a sprinkle of fairy dust, the nut went flying all over the place. Soon the fairies were doing somersaults and back flips in the air, trying to catch it. They all, including Malicesandra, decided that it was the best fun ever, After the game, Gingledorf went back to see the children. She was quite proud of herself and thanked them for the great idea. She shyly asked if she could give them special fairy names. She decided on Princess, of course, for the little girl, Butterpickle and Chango for the twins, and Liner for the oldest boy. The children were thrilled. “One more thing,” she asked, “can we have my favorite food to celebrate? It is hot chocolate with two marshmallows and a dollop of whipped cream.” The children shouted all together, “YUM!” And so it began- the friendship that would last a life time of adventures. The four children and Gingledorf made the very best team of them

The Fairy that was given the ritual knife, Glyff, held the wooden hilt in his left hand, and rest the straight steel blade in his right. He tightened his hand around the blade, creating a long cut in his palm and along his fingers, which only slightly bled. Once released from his grasp and wiped clean against his cotton shirt, Glyff handed the knife down to the paws of Rachet, the Panda Roux, a race of hyper-intelligent Red Pandas that walk on two paws, who was in the seat next to him. Rachet made the same cut across his paw as Glyff did his hand, and wiped the blade clean against the cotton bag he wore as clothes. Rachet then handed the knife to the skeletal hand of Señor Sarachi, the enchanted bones, who sat to the right of Rachet.

The author begins the short story with the parents walking “down the hall of their soundproofed, Happylife Home, which has cost them thirty thousand dollars installed” (Bradbury 255). There is irony with the house's name being the “Happylife Home” because as the story continues, readers quickly realize that this home is far from a happy home, but is the parent's biggest nightmare. With two wealthy parents and a thirty thousand dollar nursery come two spoiled children “more than most”(Bradbury 262) named “Wendy and Peter” (Bradbury 256). The names of these children given by the author were intentional, as the names of kids are an illusion to Peter Pan [film].

In the first paragraph of the text, the tooth fairy's decision to give Lucky a bowling trophy rather than the customary reward raises the question of whether Lucky's life is truly average. A lack of stability and continuity in Lucky's existence is also implied by the ziplock bag of pennies and the handwritten note from the tooth fairy. Firstly, the assumption that Arnya's familial dynamics are problematic is reinforced by her remark, "Screw 'em all and let Jesus sort it out," and her disposition to put off vital messages until
