In a magic place, a little girl named Lily found a tiny door in the woods. Behind the door, she met a fairy named Hazel. Hazel told her that good-hearted people can see fairies. Lily felt very happy and special.
A naughty gnome named Grumpyboots listened to Lily and Hazel. He wanted to see the fairy dance too. On a night when the moon was big and round, Lily watched the fairies dance. But Grumpyboots made a spell that stopped the fairy magic.
Lily had an idea. She told Hazel and the other fairies to hold hands. They all used their magic together. Their magic got stronger and broke the bad spell. The woods were pretty again, and Grumpyboots said sorry to the fairies.
Grumpyboots learned to be nice, and the fairies forgave him. Lily learned to always be kind. She kept the fairy secret and smiled a lot. The fairies kept dancing in the moonlight, and everyone was happy.
