Hairy Legs



"GOOD DEEDS? ME DO GOOD DEEDS? DO I LOOK LIKE A FAIRY GODMOTHER TO YOU?"

HAIRY IS A FAIRY WHO IS ALWAYS GETTING INTO TROUBLE. SOME FELLOW FAIRIES WOULD SAY THAT HAIRY DOESN'T GET INTO TROUBLE, HE IS THE TROUBLE. THOSE FAIRIES USUALLY ARE ELVES BUT THEY'RE ALWAYS LOOKING DOWN THEIR NOSES AT OTHER FAIRIES. HAIRY NOW FINDS HIMSELF COMPLETELY ALONE, MORE ALONE THAN HE'S EVER BEEN. HE IS BANISHED TO THE HUMAN WORLD AND MUST DO A HUNDRED GOOD DEEDS IF HE'S TO RETURN TO FAIRYDOM.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY UNLESS HAIRY CHANGES SOME OF HIS WAYS. HE ACTS FIRST AND THINKS NEXT WEEK, MAYBE, IF HE STOPS LONG ENOUGH TO BOTHER THINKING AT ALL. HE BELIEVES HIS WAY IS THE ONLY WAY SO WHEN HE GETS AN IDEA INTO HIS HEAD THERE'S ALMOST NO STOPPING HIM. HE ALWAYS SAYS WHAT'S ON HIS MIND WHEN SOMETIMES IT MIGHT BE BEST FOR A FAIRY TO KEEP HIS MOUTH BUTTONED. HE DIDN'T PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO HIS CLASSES AT MAGIC SCHOOL SO HIS MAGIC CAN BE MORE OF A HINDRANCE THAN AN ADVANTAGE TO HIM DOING GOOD DEEDS.

NEVERTHELESS, HAIRY DOES HAVE A LOT OF THINGS GOING FOR HIM AS HE SETS OUT TO DO GOOD DEEDS. ONCE HE TRUSTS YOU, HE IS THE MOST LOYAL FRIEND IN THE WORLD AND THERE IS NOTHING HE WOULDN'T DO FOR YOU. HE'LL NEVER LET YOU DOWN FOR HE HAS A HEART ALMOST AS BIG AS THE PROBLEMS HE CREATES. HE ALWAYS KEEPS HIS COOL IN ANY BAD SITUATION; SITUATIONS USUALLY CAUSED BY HIM BUT THAT'S ANOTHER MATTER. HAIRY IS ONE LUCKY FAIRY. HE'LL NEED HELP IF HE IS GOING TO DO GOOD DEEDS. HE'S FORTUNATE THAT THE HELP COMES ALONG IN JEVAN. JEVAN MIGHT BE VERY DIFFERENT TO HAIRY, BUT HAIRY SOON KNOWS THAT JEVAN IS GOING TO BE HIS BEST FRIEND. WITH JEVAN'S HELP, HAIRY WILL LEARN THAT GOOD DEEDS ARE THINGS YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE NOT THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF.
