Fairy Starlet: Greed is bad.

It's like a children's story, hope you like it.

Starlet was in the land of fairies, eating some pie. She was an unfortunate fairy you see as she had an addiction to food. The others teased her, they were so thin, it made Starlet feel like a giant, unnaturally large. On this particular day, she was feeling extra hungry but she couldn't find any more food in the village. The villagers often hid their food in case she ate it all. She decided to have a look in the forest, she sometimes spotted a few tasty berries here and there. But today, she had no such luck. That was until she caught the smell of something yummy. She stumbled through the woods in search of the source. She had travelled a very long time when she found that the smell was coming from a very large tree. There was a hole though and as Starlet took a step closer to see what was inside, the smell became stronger. It made her mouth drool. She just had to take a look so she slowly stepped closer and closer until she was near enough to see inside. Gasp! It was the most delicious looking chocolate cake she had ever seen. It had white chocolate flakes, a creamy milk chocolate sauce and a thick dark chocolate sponge. She could take it no longer, she dived into the hole so that her legs dangled out and started eating...and eating....and eating.

The more she ate, the more hungry she felt so she ate more and more. The strange thing was that every time she broke a piece off, it reappeared. Magic wasn't rare in fairy land so Scarlet knew she had been tricked. But, she had eaten so much cake she had become even larger, so large she filled the hole in the bark of the tree and as she tried to wriggle out, it was clear to her that she was stuck. Starlet began to cry. The other fairies made her do that a lot, they  could be very mean. She had been crying for a while when she heard rustling behind her. She wanted to know what was making the noise but, of course, she couldn't turn herself round to find out. Suddenly, she felt the bark around her coming away and soon, she was able to get out of the tree. She turned around and looked for the source of the noise. It was another fairy! She was very old with silvery white hair flowing down to her waist and she wore a bright pink dress with tiny flowers dotted all over it.

"Starlet, I am Fairy Trinket," she smiled and did a little courtesy, "I've noticed how greedy you are and I hope that this lesson may have helped you to want to stop eating so much. Greed is a very bad thing."

"How do you know my name?"

"Everybody knows your name! The Fairy Community is a very close one, and your greed has shocked the land."

Starlet looked down at her feet, she felt ashamed, "But it's so hard, I feel so hungry all the time!"

"You cannot be greedy forever, you need to learn to control yourself. I did this for your own good."

"I know," mumbled Starlet, "I'm sorry. I will try and stop eating as much I promise. That was scary, I don't want that to happen ever again."

"And it won't, just as long as you truly have learned your lesson," and with that she was gone.

Starlet lived happily ever after, eating less food and being less greedy. The other fairies felt bad for what they had done so they treated her nicely from then on and promised to be friends forever.
