Thumbs up

A long time ago, in a village owner, there was a woman who had no children, so she really wanted to have a baby. So she went to ask the magician, and the magician gave her a seed and said to her, "Plant it in the soil, and your wish will be fulfilled." The woman took the seed and went home happily.

She found tools and planted the seed. Who knows, as soon as she planted the seed, this magical seed immediately bloomed into a beautiful bud.

The woman couldn't help but kiss the bud, and the bud opened, and there was a cute girl doll inside, but the little girl was very small, only the size of a thumb. The woman was very happy and named her "Thumb Fairy".

During the day, she uses the plates on the table as a pond and the petals as a boat to play. At night, the Thumb Fairy sleeps comfortably in the cradle made of walnuts, dreaming sweet dreams.

One night, a toad sneaked into the woman's room, and when he saw the Thumb Fairy, he liked it very much, and thought, "Let me take her back and marry my son!"

So, the toad spider secretly brought home the walnut cradle and the thumb fairy.

In the morning, when the Thumb Fairchild woke up and found herself sleeping on a lotus leaf, she was startled. When she heard that she was going to marry Toad, she cried even more in fright.

"It's so pitiful! Let's help her!" After Little Fish learned what happened to the Thumb Immortal Child, they all sympathized with her very much.

Together they bit off the lotus leaves, and the lotus leaves slowly drifted away. Thumb Fairchild was very grateful to them and kept thanking them. Thumb Fairchild floated up and down the river. She met Miss Butterfly, and Miss Butterfly said very enthusiastically, "I'll help too!"

So, it used a belt to pull the lotus leaf that the Thumb Fairy was riding on to the shore.

Suddenly, a scarab flew over and took the thumb fairy away. The scarab took her to a big tree in the forest and said to her companion arrogantly, "I picked up a cute little girl!"

But the beetle's companions said: "Oh! He only has two feet! And she has no beard, so ugly!"

Therefore, the scarabs hated her very much, and left the thumb fairy boy and ran away.

Thumb fairy was abandoned in the forest, she ate nectar, slept flowers and leaves, drank dew, and lived alone.

Soon, winter came, the sky was snowing, the flowers and plants were withered, and the Thumb Immortal had no food to eat, only to wrap his body in dead leaves, but the wind was still biting.

The Thumb Immortal wandered around the forest hungry and cold, thinking to himself, "Ah! It's so cold, and my stomach is hungry. If it goes on like this, I will starve to death!"

Thumb Fairchild shivered as she moved forward in the snow. Finally, she found a house where Granny Wild Rat lived.

Granny Wild Mouse saw the Thumb Immortal Child and said very sympathetically, "What a pity! Come in and have something to eat!"

So, the thumb fairy boy lived in the house of Granny Wild Mouse, helping Granny Wild Mouse do a lot of housework every day and living a happy life.

One day, the Thumb Fairy found a sick swallow. He made a blanket out of withered grass and stuffed it with cotton to keep the sick swallow warm, and used the petals to collect dew for the swallow to drink.

"Poor Swallow! You have to get well soon!" All winter, Thumb Immortal took care of the sick Swallow in every possible way, hoping that he would recover soon.

Soon, spring came. Swallow also recovered quickly under the careful care of Thumb Fairchild.

"Thank you! Thumb Immortal, I'm going back to the green forest, bye!"

Next to Granny Wild Rat, there lived a rich mole. He liked Thumb Fairy Boy very much and wanted to marry her as a bride. Granny Wild Rat also agreed and said, "Mr. Mole is very rich, you are really lucky!"

But Thumb Fairy really doesn't want to marry a mole, she thought; living in the land with no sunshine and no flowers; what a drab world it is!

However, the wedding day came. The Thumb Immortal stood at the door of Granny Wild Mouse and said goodbye to the sun: "Dear Father Sun, goodbye."

She cried very sadly, and attracted the swallow who had been rescued by her. The swallow said, "Let's go! Come with me! I can take you to a very happy and beautiful place!"

Thumb Fairchild was so happy that she sat on the back of the swallow and flew to a warm country.

The warm country was full of beautiful flowers. Swallow placed the Thumb Fairy on top of one of the most beautiful flowers, and there stood a little flower prince. The flower prince liked the Thumb Fairy very much and proposed to her: "Thumb Fairy, please marry me!"

"Hmm..." Fairy Thumb nodded shyly and agreed. So, the Flower Fairies were very happy and gave her a pair of wings as a gift.

Since then, Thumb Fairchild can also fly around among the flowers, and she and the prince live a happy life.
