- Summary:
- A group of girls made their playful choices to become the very things they have fancied (fairy, rose, butterfly, bird, star, bee, and wind), but at the end they discover that every one ought to be contented with her own condition. Being diligent and faithful, fervent in spirit, and serving the Lord may well help one enter into eternal joy.
