- | thunder blast perhaps rolled back the blue, allowing a purple storm cloud to lip through and kiss the trees, leaving its mark in purple, just as the sharp showers of singing rain in the days of spring drip through the blue to /sash the leaves of the green trees clear again; and the gaunt yellow box gum bears the marks of the llow orb of the sun which, on those hot, dust-laden days of midsummer, glowers through the heavy dust haze, scorching the very earth itself. | + | |
- | The scheme as you can see, proved by no means permanent, but the fairies had achieved their object in bringing back happiness to the little forest | + | Some days before the next full moon, he with as many of his friendb as could come, would ascend to the Milky Way and there, amongst the stars, await the full moon. In the cool of the evening on the day following the full moon, all the sky fairies would endeavour to unravel the maze of stars which held up the sky, the blue sky, in it's silver chain. It would be no easy task, trying to find a way in the labyrinthine tangle of the starry bonds, but, with such a noble cause as theirs, they must succeed. Once the starry bonds were unfastened the rest would be easy. The sky would be theirs - as much blue sky as they could possibly want. |
