The Fairy Remanence

We had to write a children's story for English. This is what I came up with in 25 minutes, I haven't even proof read it, so it's probably full of mistakes. It's awful.

Once there was a distant, far away land, where the fairies lived. They were a mighty civilisation, all working together in harmony. They helped each other to be strong, and were respected in all other realms. Everybody else loved them. The dwarfs loved them. The gnomes loved them. Even the trolls loved them, and they weren’t known to be the loving kind!

Fairytown was under a large forest. Each fairyhouse was built out of a mystical material which could only be manufactured by fairies. It was pink and fluffy, and smelt sweet like sugar. The fairies called this Candy Floss. Each fairy house was built out of candy floss. Each fairy car was built out of candy floss. It was very popular with the fairies, as it smelled so yummy!

There was however, one problem with building everything from candy floss. If it were ever to get wet, it would all dissolve and waste away. This made rain a very serious problem. Nobody knew this better than Tufney who, as everyone knew, was driving her car one afternoon when it started to rain. Before she knew it, there was no longer a car to be driven. Poor little Tufney has to fly all the way home!

The rain has never been an issue, because the fairies made very sure that they built fairytown under a forest. This gave them shelter, shielding them from any rain that fell. One day there was a big storm, and the winds came. The winds swept all the trees away, and fairytown was no longer sheltered. All the houses melted away, as did everything else. The fairies were very sad when they realised they would have to build fairytown again. They came to the decision build the new fairytown in a desert, so there would be no rain anymore. Hurray!

Many years later, a small girl was out for a walk. She stumbled across where fairytown used to be, but she had no way of telling, apart from one little reminder. Under the stump of what used to be a willow tree, she saw something small and pink. She did not know what it was, but it smelled sugary and it made her happy. She went running back to her mother to show her, and her mother worked out the recipe, so the girl could eat as much as she wanted. And that’s how candy floss came to be!
