studied the fairy realm, including Fletcher, thought that zoos were the
best place to view fairy adaptations as they had beings from all over
the world which had come with the animals. Thus African and Asian
fairies interacted with each other in a strange land, The wolf was
gone, having vanished and Fern’s quest was momentarily forgotten. She
skipped towards the penguin enclosure, grinning at the playful animals
which were zipping around the water with a rainbow of different types
of water spirits. |
