Fairy Spell #3 TWIRLYIDOO!

Sheep Don't Dance, Do They? One day I was watching Mom having her magic lesson with Fenella on FairyTube. She was learning about the Rainbow Effect. The Rainbow Effect is very powerful and mysterious. When there is a rainbow in the sky, fairies have to be careful because their spells are extra strong and very hard to control. That's why there's a Rainbow App on every Computawand. The app tells you when a rainbow is coming. All fairies have them except Granny. She doesn't like apps or Computawands. She says, "Just look at the sky, dear." When Mom finished her lesson, I turned to her.

"I wish I could have magic lessons." Mom smiled. "You can't have magic lessons yet, Ella. But guess what. You're going to start dancing lessons!" "Yay!" I said, excited. "Dancing!"

"Never mind!" Mom said. "It's never easy when you start, Ella. But keep trying. I know you can do it. Have fun!" Then Zoe saw me. She came over and said in her mean voice, "Oh, Ella, you're here. I'm really good at dancing. I've been coming here forever. I bet you're really bad."

"I bet I'm not," I said. I decided to try my best at dancing. I watched the teacher, Miss Evans, demonstrate. We raised our arms. We did a special jump called a cat jump. I said, "Meow!" when I jumped, because it made me feel like a cat. At the end of the lesson Miss Evans said, "We have a special treat today. Zoe's cousin Sally is here. Sally is a real grown-up ballerina, and she is going to show us her dancing." Sally was wearing a lovely swishy skirt. She
