They found a nice place to sit under a
tree. They spread the blanket on the grass, had something cool to drink and
then set off to explore.
Della held Easter so that he could see all
the exciting things around him.
This enchanted garden had all the famous
fairies from all the storybooks.
The fairies were very still during the day
because fairies are not really allowed to move when people are around.
It was very different after sunset though.
As the sun disappears he blows a goodnight
kiss. This goodnight kiss helps us to go to sleep but it wakes the fairies up.
Soon it was lunch time. Della, Mummy, Daddy
and Easter went back to the blanket.
The picnic basket was unpacked. There were
chicken nuggets, crisps and fruit and lots of other nice things.
Right at the end of lunch Mummy gave Della
her favourite sweet, a marshmallow fish.
It was lovely and warm under the tree and
Della began to feel a bit drowsy.
Mummy and Daddy were talking softly. It was
so quiet and peaceful.
Della could hear the birds calling to each
other as they flew from tree to tree.
Slowly her eyes began to close.
Easter was sitting next to the picnic
basket looking out at the fields in the distance feeling a bit bored. He wanted to play but Della was fast
asleep.
Suddenly two bunnies hopped out from behind
the tree. They sat looking at Easter, wiggling their noses at him.
They wondered if they should ask him to
come and play in the fields.
