Find The Teapot Game Day 2



After spending an enjoyable evening at Mr. & Mrs. Wren's house, the fairies decided that they wanted to meet again the next evening. Fairies are noted for being very social and therefore will never turn down a group event! Because Mr. Wren hosted the previous party, he was in charge of taking the Queen's teapot to the next house. But where was that to be?


There was much debate over whether it was little Miss Pixie Swallowtail's turn or if the honors were to go to Luminescent Panellus, who lived in the mushroom patch at the edge of the forest. Little Miss Pixie had not hosted a party since last September, and her neighbors were beginning to wonder if she was getting too old to prepare for such a group because she really didn't fly around much at night anymore.

All the fairies loved Miss Pixie, especially the small fairies, because she had a special cupboard where she always kept a ready supply of crystal honey drops which were kept fresh on rose petals. Everyone under the age of 1486 years love crystal honey drops. When a guest arrives at Miss Pixie's, she will softly say, "Please, feel free to skip over to my pantry and break off a honey drop from the yellow rose which grows there. If you pop it into your mouth quickly, it will dissolve slowly and give you the most delicious satisfaction in your tummy." And she is always right!

Mr. Wren asked Miss Pixie if she would like to host tonight's tea party. She politely bowed her head a little and turned to Luminescent to see if he would prefer to have the party himself. Luminescent Panellus was a rotund little fairy, prone to paleness, and also quite mild in temperament. He thanked Miss Pixie for her concern but assured her that if she wanted to host tonight's party, that he would not interfere. He would simply pencil into his calendar that he would have everyone over tomorrow night! Luminescent was most agreeable and the location was set!

In the picture above, you will find the teapot waiting for Miss P. to retrieve it. Miss Pixie, because she is quite shy, has tucked her house beneath a large calladium leaf. She is also very fastidious about her manners so that all the fairies who come to her house must knock three times in fairy fashion in order to enter. What do you suppose the fairy knock is like? Find the teapot and then, Frances and Eleanor, you must decide how the fairies are to knock in that special way in order to go to Miss Pixie Swallowtail's party.

Goodbye until tomorrow!
Luv,
Mimi
