It was raining in Fairy Grove.
Sprite was juggling some balls.
Bumble was playing in a puddle.
Hob was in his hammock, staying warm and dry.
Feather sighed and watched the rain.
"Rain makes flowers grow.
But I hate to get wet!"
"Use an umbrella," Hob said.
Feather got an umbrella and flew back to the branch.
"My feet are still wet.
I hate wet feet!"
Bumble stomped in the puddle. "Wet feet are fun!"
"I'm going to get rainboots," Feather said.
"Tomorrow I'll go see Cobby.
She makes new shoes for fairies."
Feather left early the next morning.
She came back after lunch.
"Come see my new boots!" Feather called.
The other fairies gathered around.
Feather marched up and down.
"What do you think?" she asked.
Feather's boots were bright blue.
They were covered with sparkles.
"Wow!" Bumble said.
Sprite nodded. "Those boots are pretty."
Feather fluffed her hair and looked proud.
"They match my dress," she said.
Hob scratched his head. "It's not raining.
Why are you wearing your boots now?"
"They're so pretty!" Feather said.
"I want to wear them all the time."
"They look heavy," Hob said.
"Will they slow you down when you fly?"
"Of course not!" Feather flew around Fairy Grove.
Sprite laughed as Feather wobbled in the air.
"The boots do look heavy, Feather!"
Feather frowned. "I just need to get used to them."
Just then wish smoke drifted into Fairy Grove.
"Ralph wants figures for his train set," Sprite said.
"Let's go!" Hob said.
Sprite, Hob, and Bumble took off.
"Wait for me!" Feather called.
"Those boots are slowing you down," Sprite said.
"Take them off," Hob said.
"No!" Feather said.
"They're pretty and I'm going to wear them!"
