Ah, to be a pixie. To flit among the trees, coaxing wildflowers up through the forest floor. To offer wanderers directions for coins and beads and pebbles. To run hunters in circles and laugh at their frustration. To dance among toadstools. To sing to the birds. To sit by a stream and braid forget-me-nots into my hair. Ah, to be a pixie.
