By Marta Visola and Avery Visola

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived the tiniest fairy moth of them all. Her name was Gingledorf. Gingledorf finds herself in pickles and jams because her magic gets a bit whoopsie, and too much fairy dust sprinkling has unfortunate effects. With the help of some good friends and lots of cups of hot chocolate, she figures out how to make things just fairy perfect.

Marta Visola

Marta is a nana who learned that the very best way to teach life lessons is through a story. Her grandchildren wanted the same story over and over, so she started to write them down. It was a family joke that when the children got a bit loud and rolling around like a pile of puppies, she could whisper “Once upon a time in a far away land” and they would be instantly quiet and sitting at her feet ready for another story.

Achoo

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived the tiniest fairy moth of them all. Her name was Gingledorf. One morning, Gingledorf was off doing her favorite morning thing, smelling the flowers.

As she stood up from a really good sniff, she gave an enormous sneeze. AHHCHOO!

Sometimes this happened when she got a really good sniff. Underneath the noise of the sneeze, she heard a little whine, a skid, and a plop. It seemed as though it had started to the left and gone to the right, like a kind of ZOOOOM – KerPLOP.

As we all know, when we sneeze, we close our eyes. And, anything can happen when our eyes are closed and our noses are making lots of noise – even to fairies moths. Keeping this in mind, Gingledorf looked around.

She saw nothing to the left or to the right, so she shrugged her shoulders and headed off for more sniffing. Two more big sniffs and two more sneezes later, Gingledorf decided that she had smelled enough flowers for the morning.

By now, Gingledorf had reached the pond. There, by the pond, stretched as far as he could go, was Tiny Wee One. He seemed to be holding a small branch stuck to his tummy and he was reaching into the pond. Gingledorf had never seen such a thing, and rushed over to see what the problem was.

Tiny Wee One cried, "HELP!" It was a tiny help (because Tiny Wee One is so small) but he performed it with gusto so that Gingledorf had no trouble in hearing him.

Down in the water, and going down for the third time, was a very small Dalmatian puppy. Gingledorf knew that three was the number of times that a drowning puppy could go down and not come back up. So, she dived into the water as fast as she could go. She kicked off her shoes on the way in and, in doing so, kicked fairy dust
