The wrickety hut

The fairy princess travelled for miles & miles, she was tired & weary she was fed-up. The road was long, she hadn't seen a unicorn since she had been in the mystic meadows & the pegasus that she had been travelling with needed to rest, it's wings we're tired from caring her.

As she came towards the edge of the vicious valley, there at the end stood a rather small wrickety hut. The fairy princess wondered who lived in such a tiny dwelling?! She wearily moved on as she needed to get through the valley to carry on to reach Fairyland, after the valley was a glen & beyond that a cavern... There were many paths & roads to travel, hopefully the pegasus would regain some strength to fly soon.

Half-way through the valley, the fairy princess stopped in her tracks - the rotten wooden door to the hut was starting to open slowly!

She gingerly moved forwards, ever so slightly & ultra quietly (so as not to be heard), then from behind the door appeared an old wrinkled hag "come closer my dear" she said "you look tired, let me feed you & you may rest too"

The fairy princess felt very uneasy about the old hag, was this some trick to capture her & stop her reaching Fairyland or was this a genuine offer?!

There was nobody to ask for advice, so the fairy princess had to accept this offer (although she was very apprehensive) & with that she moved towards the hut nervously.

The old hag gestured slowly forward to greet the fairy princess, she could see how nervous the little fairy was & didn't want to scare her off... It was a long time since the lonely old woman had company to share, for some reason others were scared of her but she had no idea why?

Perhaps it was her appearance?! Old, wrinkled, haggard with a crooked back & she was often wearing tatty dresses with cloaks as that's all she had these days.
