Speaker 1 (00:00):
The magical home work Fairy. It was the last day
of spring break, and Emily sat on the couch with
a big frown. Uh, she groaned, staring at her backpack.
I forgot about my school project. She had a whole
week to do it, but fun trips, playground time and

(00:22):
movie nights had taken over. Now the project on my
favorite animal was due tomorrow and she hadn't even started. Daniel,
her brother, was outside flying a kite, but Emily couldn't
enjoy anything. I wish some one would just poof an
do it for me, she mumbled. Suddenly, a tiny sparkle

(00:44):
floated down from the ceiling and landed on the table. Poof,
a little fairy with glittery wings and purple sneakers appeared.
She had a tiny pencil tucked behind her ear and
a backpack even smaller than Emily's hand. Did someone say poofer,
the fairy asked with a grin. I'm Tilly, the homework Fairy,

(01:07):
here to help. Emily blinked, Wait, really, yep, I specialize
in fun flare and a sprinkle of silliness, Tilly said, proudly.
What's the project? Emily showed her the instructions draw your
favorite animal and write three facts about it. Easy, peasy,

(01:28):
lemon squeeze, said Tilly. She pulled out a sparkly wand
and waved it at the table. Splat, a giant blob
of paint landed on Emily's paper. Oops, said Tilly, that
was supposed to be a tiger. Emily giggled. Let's try again.
Tilly waved her wand again. This time a wobbly drawing

(01:52):
of a unicorn with fish fins appeared. Um, I said, tiger,
not tigfish Cornilly laughed. Tilly scratched her head. Maybe magic
isn't the best for accuracy. Let's try the old fashioned way. Together,
they looked up tigers in a book. Emily started writing

(02:13):
facts while Tilly colored with a crayon three times her sighs.
An hour later, Emily smiled at her finished project. I
did most of it myself, and you did it great,
said Tilly, sipping juice from a bottle cap. Thanks for
making it fun, Emily said. Homework isn't so bad if

(02:34):
you make it silly sometimes. Tilly winked, exactly now I
must fly some one else, just said poof in New Jersey. Poof.
She was gone, in a glittery swirl, just as Daniel
walked in. Who were you talking to, he asked, No one,
Emily said with a smile, just getting help from a

(02:58):
magical friend. The end. As always, visit us at readthtale
