A long time ago in a faraway land called Pixieville lived a pixie named TwinkleBerry. He was a very playful creature. So playful was he that his mother Mama Twinkles used to say "Twinkle,if you continue to be too playful,people would never take you seriously when you are." But he didn't listen.
Whenever he was sent on errands,he would play with the trees and flowers in the fields,sing with the birds and chase butterflies till he was late. His teacher at school Dame Lexie always complained about his playfulness. Soon he became known as "Twinkle the playful".
One day,his mother called him "Twinkle,take this jar of jelly to Lady Beatles and tell her that I'll soon finish the spell I'm working on. Now Twinkle,you mustn't play with this jelly as it contains magic. Off you go and don't be long", she said. Twinkles took the jar and ran off.
On his way,he met Tindle his friend. "Where are you going Twinkle? Come,lets play a game of tag" he said. "Oh no,Tindle. My mother asked me to take this to Lady Beatles. I'll be back soon", TwinkleBerry said and made to leave but Tindle said "just a minute. Please play,will you?" Then,Twinkle agreed. He put down the jar and went off to play with Tindle,both of them laughing as they ran into the woods.
Unknowing to them,one of the town's witches Lady DoGood saw them. She was a very good witch and the children loved her. She saw Twinkle playing around and said "oh no! TwinkleBerry is at it again,playing around instead of going about his errands. I must teach him a lesson. Oh yes,i must". Opening the jar,she saw that it contained magic. So she cast an invisibility spell on it making it disappear. "This would teach not to be too playful",she said and left.
