There was something drastically wrong in the Fairy school. The young Fairies were not paying attention to the wise old Fairies as they tried to teach them the old language that every Fairy must know to be able to perform magic. The old language is used to help keep secret the various spells that must be spoken for the magic to work. Things gradually got worse and the wise old Fairies went to see Her Majesty Queen Feeana, Queen of all the Fairies. Her majesty was much concerned that the children were not paying attention in the school and decided to look into the matter personally.
Her Majesty came to the school on various occasions at first she thought that the wise old Fairies who were all between the ages of five hundred to over a thousand years old. Were slipping in giving the education that all children need. No it was not the wise old Fairies that were to blame. They taught well and wisely it was just that the Fairy children could not or would not concentrate. The main trouble was that the children pronounced the words of the old language wrongly and the simple spells that they were taught to perform went wrong.
One of the things that Fairy children are taught is how to paint flowers using their magic wands and using the old language for the spells. One example to show what I mean the Fairy children were asked to paint some poppies. As you all know poppies are a bright red but the poppies that the children were supposed to colour were of all colours, to make matters worse one of the Fairies had turned her flower into a frog. This caused much laughter but the wise old Fairies were getting desperate. Her Majesty was very worried and turned herself invisible and stayed at the school for one whole week to see how bad the children were learning.
This behaviour only happened in our part of Fairyland the Fairies in the rest of the world were performing their magic tricks properly. The Queen Feeana decided to use her magic mirror to see what the children got up to when there was no school. Most of the Fairy children came to my house. I have told you in one of my earlier stories that the children were allowed to use my house as a playground. One of their favourites was an old gramophone that one had to wind up to make it work. The needles used to make the sound were all old and some of the gramophone records were badly scratched. This caused the loud speaker fixed to the instrument to give off some very strange sounds. The Fairies loved the noises that the gramophone made.
The Queen watched the Fairies playing and decided that it was not the gramophone that was causing the Fairies to not pay attention in school. Looking in the magic mirror Her Majesty saw that nearly all of the children were watching my old coloured television. They looked for programs that were meant for human children. It was in these programs that the Fairy Queen Feeana found what was causing the children to not pay attention and to speak properly when reciting the spells for their magic. Most of the programs the children and even the Muppets did not speak clearly. The words were slurred and this bad habit the Fairies were picking up and carrying into school, what is worse they used this form of slurred speech when saying the words of the old language.
Her Majesty came to me and we spoke about the television. I proposed that I take one of the parts from out of the television so that no sound would be available. This idea although it sounded good to me was not to the Queens liking. Why should you be deprived of your television? I had to agree I like watching good films and especially good music. Her Majesty then had the idea of placing a spell on the television set. This spell would make all characters that spoke to speak in a perfect form of English. This sounded like a good idea and her Majesty took her magic wand from a special pocket and speaking in the old language she spoke a spell. From this day on my television does not use any form of slang or badly spoken words all the characters no matter what part they were playing spoke correctly.
The Fairy children still come to my old house and the gramophone is used and also the television the spell that Her Majesty Queen Feeana placed on it works wonderfully and the Fairy children have improved greatly in the Fairy school. Now the flowers are coloured properly in the colours that we all know so well and there are no more frogs hopping around the classroom. Next year there will be a new class of Fairy children they will I am sure find their way to my old house. The television will still be showing programs but all will be well and wise old Fairies will not have to complain of the children not paying attention.
