Photos of Acting-out a few Scenes of the Story
Yeris as The Oak Tree Fairy. Students read their lines for their parts. The Flower Fairies are tending to their flowers.
"We work to beautify the world" The Flower Fairies tell the Oak Tree Fairy when he asks why they work so hard doing what they do.
The Oak Tree Fairy moves on to inspect the work of the Dwarves who work their crystals and minerals in the underearth to make fine jewels and jewelry.
"This is how WE work to make the world more beautiful," they tell the Great Fairy.
"Nice job! You do very well in your craft!""
"Very fine, indeed!"
While tending their flowers, one Flower Fairy notices a nice Fairy off in the distance, playing.
"Forget your work," the playful Fairy says. This is more fun. They are quite confused at first, as they had never thought about NOT doing their duties. However, they go along for the tempting fun.
They played on and on, hour after hour, having such fun.
Meanwhile, while they are away, something is happening to their flowers.
As the day ends the fun-loving play-tempting fairy reveals who she REALLY is!
The Flower Fairies find their flowers have wilted and died while they were away. They are horrified!
They weep, scream, and lament in sorrow for neglecting their duty!
"What have we done!"
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Noooooooo!"
"I am so sorryyyyyyyy!"
