When the Tree-Fairy told of the Witch Discontent's rage, she shuddered, then she continued: "The Witch Discontent not only drove me from her house, but she chased me and she screamed at me every step of the way. I could run faster than she and I reached my home first. I ran into the house, closed and bolted the door.
Uncle Whiskers cried, "Who are you and where are you? We hear you but we cannot see you." "I am the Tree-Fairy and I am right here in the stump of this tree," came the reply. They all rushed over to the tree and, sure enough, there was the most beautiful creature they had ever seen. She was lying on her back and her wings were caught in the bark of the stump.
If it had not been for you, I would not be standing here in this beautiful sunshine." "Do tell us how you came to be in the tree trunk, won't you please?" begged Twinkle. "To be sure, I will tell you," laughed the Tree-Fairy. This is the story she told: "In Fairyland there are Witches as well as Fairies, just as on Earth there are bad people as well as good people.
Just to show her little friends that she could use them as well as ever, she fluttered them about. They were so thin that you could see through them and they sparkled and shone in the sunshine like silver. "Can't you get up now?" asked Sammy Woodchuck. "I will try," replied the Tree-Fairy. She tried and tried all in vain. She could move, but she could not rise.
"It is perfectly wonderful that Pinkie Whiskers did not cut you in two when he chopped down the tree. We had no idea that you were in it," said Uncle Whiskers. The Tree-Fairy laughed a soft, silvery laugh and answered, "No, of course you did not know that I was here. When I am free I will tell you all about how I came to be here."
Uncle Whiskers looked and looked at the Tree-Fairy until his eyes were almost blinded by her sparkle in the sunshine. He said: "Please come over here under the shade of this tree, where we can look at you all we wish and then tell us how you came to be in that tree." The Tree-Fairy danced over and sat down under the tree with Uncle Whiskers, Winkle, Twinkle and Sammy Woodchuck.
She shook me and then held me very tight while she looked me in the eye, made passes and hissed: "'You wicked Tree-Fairy! I will drive you from Fairyland. I will send you to Earth and imprison you in a tree forever. You shall never come forth into the sunshine again or dance, laugh or sing unless I will it.
Billy Jay did not care to sit down. He just hopped around and around the Tree-Fairy and stared at her. In the meantime Pinkie Whiskers had caught his breath and was rested. He tried to get up, but found that a branch of the tree held him down. He wiggled and twisted but he could not rise. "Help! help!" called Pinkie Whiskers. "My goodness!" cried Uncle Whiskers.
She looked so sweet and beautiful that her new friends wondered how anyone could ever have been unkind to her. "You certainly have had a very hard time and I am glad that we could help you out of your prison," said Uncle Whiskers. "Why are you called a Tree-Fairy if you have only lived in a tree here on Earth?" inquired Pinkie Whiskers.
Finally Uncle Whiskers said, "I will take the axe and chop away the outside of the stump." "I will take the pitch-fork and lift the soft pulp away," cried Sammy Woodchuck. So they worked and worked until they had broken the stump apart and the Tree-Fairy was free once more.
