reincarnated several times. Every time it were really magic dresses - all weaved out of gold solar or silvery lunar beams which were poured by all flowers of a rainbow. Each new dress cast over Prinze absolutely different moods and a state of mind - for euphoric pleasure to light thoughtfulness and pensiveness. And when the Fairy began to dance …
The prince himself did not understand what happens to him where reality and where the dreams cast by the hostess of this wood, but all this definitely was pleasant to it. He all life dreamed to appear in the fairy tale and when, at last, got to it, he did not want to come back in such boring and the gray "real world" at all.
There was only one "but". Really, Prinze already finally recovered so plaster and bandages were removed from him, and therefore formally there is any more no reason left to remain on a visit with the Fairy. Position of the Prince in her house became ambiguous …
- I so am grateful to you for everything, the Beautiful Fairy! You so helped me, saved to me life, cured me so I am your debtor forever - and would like to remain your friend forever! - somehow Prince Fee at dinner told.
- Hey, Prinze, and it that else for news? Why it on "you"? What for thanks such? You what, was going to leave perhaps? - with insult the Fairy inflated sponges.
The prince hesitated.
- You understand, the Fairy, me, of course, it is good with you, but I so zagostitsya at you, inconveniently somehow …
- Nonsenses are what! - the Fairy threw up the hands. - And I want to hear nothing! Where you will go, a miracle in feathers? You all the same any have no memory!
- I will show a medallion in the village, maybe, will prompt …
The fairy has a snack was a sponge from disappointment, but in a moment already melodiously burst out laughing:
- Oh! And I yours incidentally dropped a medallion to the river, together with a ringlet! You sorry, Prinze, I, however, did not want … - and right there reddened with shame, all know that fairies are not able to lie.
- How?! Same … memory! As you could! Yes what you afford! - and, having ridiculously thrown up the hands, ran out from the house …
The prince was not shown at the Fairy the whole day at home, even did not come for a dinner. He felt offended up to the soul depth: its last communication with the past was so unscrupulously, is torn so roughly off!
But when there ascended the moon and lit with the silvery shine the hilly coast, Prinze felt that he is not one.
- Forgive me, Kind Prinze, I specially destroyed them … - is guilty having sighed, the Fairy spoke. - Even not in the river … I melted them and made of them … Generally, made other things. You forgive! Such we, fairies: if we strongly want something, we will achieve the in any way …
- And our girls so do not behave! - Prinze spoke with insult, looking somewhere afar, there, where the moonlight, being reflected from a water smooth surface, was scattered by myriads of silvery sparks.
- Beautifully, truth? - a languid voice the Fairy whispered.
- Yes, it is beautiful …
- And why you do not want to remain with me still? To you it is bad here?
- Is not present … - Prinze with astonishment answered, having looked at it. - Simply … inconveniently somehow …
- Yes throw you! Too to me, "inconveniently"! With you it is interesting to me. You are not such as all other people. To them all to eat, drink - kind you will not hear the word … And you - fairy tales tell me, love the wood … It is direct as we, fairies! You our warehouse, understand, and you not incidentally appeared in we wash to the wood … You understand it ? - And the Fairy again as then, in a pine grove, stridently looked to it in eyes, and again Prinze not in forces was to take away the look. Suddenly it seemed to it that on the place of eyes of the Fairy some black wells which all attracted it stronger and stronger were formed. The black chasm closed the embraces, and Prinze remained her
