LUFF was a little boy fairy who lived with his father andmother in a beautiful white water-lily which grew in a pondin Far Away Land. His fathers work was to take care of thelilies, to keep their petals white and clean, to wash the dustoff their broad green leaves, and when their time of blooming was done, topush the faded flowers down under the water, so that the water-fairies mighttake them and make them over into new flowers and leaves. Fluff was too little to work much, so he played nearly all the while.Sometimes he would run races on a big round lily-leaf with the little water-beetles. Sometimes he would climb on the dragon-flys back and go for aride, and sometimes he would swing for hours at a time in his swing madeof cobwebs. He was not a bad little boy, but he did not always obey hismother. He did not mean to be naughty, but sometimes he thought heknew better than his mother did, and that was very foolish of him, becauseif little boys could know better than mothers they would
