, sparkles in the waterfall as you approach it for a closer look at the fairies as they come and go through the waterfall in gold puffs. As you reach the base of the waterfall, you are fascinated watching the fairies flying all around you - dozens of them!

Suddenly, one of the fairies crashes into your head. You fall backwards to the ground. The fairy falls and lands right next to you. It isn’t that the force of colliding with a fairy was strong enough to knock you over. It’s just that it was so awkward as you tried to avoid the impact, you twisted to your left and then lost your balance. It was lucky you didn’t land on the fairy and crush her.

Now, looking at the tiny fairy, you realize she is no taller than five inches ... that said, she is elegantly slender and the essence of svelte. Her long, curly hair is bluish gold and shimmers in the sunlight. The high cheek bones accent her pixie face. You wonder if she is okay and then she opens her big blue eyes and looks right into your eyes (actually, you feel like she is looking deep into your soul!).

Quickly, the fairy is up on her feet and then into the air where she proceeds flutter right in front of your face, just inches from you nose. You can clearly see the network of silver veins in her wings. It appears she is examining YOU! And, the way you looked at her is nothing compared to the way she is studying you.

Then she speaks, “My name is Glee. We don’t see humans that often, so please excuse my diamond stare. You truly intrigue me! Actually, we don’t let humans see us that often, but there is something different about YOU!”

You intriguing a fairy? This amazes you because it is the fairy, combined with all of the myths and stories you have heard over your lifetime, who intrigues you. So, basically, this turns out to be a mutually amazing, intriguing, incredible encounter. Glee goes on to inform you about fairies. She tells you all about their daily work habits of gathering berries, wheat grass, honey, and dozens of other “things of the earth” ... all of which perpetuate their existence. You talk with Glee for the longest time, but then realize there are still clouds in the

Then Glee provides all of the details as to how the fairies live behind the waterfall ... this as more fairies are darting back and forth through the waterfall with those golden puffs popping and exploding over and over again. The most unique aspect in all of this is how time seems to freeze just as the fairies are about to go into the waterfall and also when they burst outward through the waterfall ... the “freeze effect” is only for slightest instance of a momentary lapse in time.

Glee pauses for a moment, obviously hesitating before she tells you all about good fairies and bad fairies. They look the same, except the bad fairies have no silver veins in their wings Nor are the bad fairies as pretty as the good fairies either, according to Glee. She hesitates again as she notices how intrigued you are by the waterfall. It is almost as iff she knows you want to go through the waterfall ...

All of a sudden Glee becomes deadly serious. She warns you that, while she would like to grant you the privilege of visiting where she and the other fairies live, mortals most often don’t make it through to the other side of the waterfall that is more treacherous than it appears. Just as quickly as Glee became serious, she now smiles the most enchanting of smiles as she says, “Please come with me through the waterfall so I can show you my home. I have a feeling that you are pure of heart and thus will make it through.”

You find yourself swallowing hard as you contemplate your choices at this point ...

You can enter the left side of the waterfall, which is against Glee’s wishes.

You can enter the right side of the waterfall, which is also against Glee’s wishes.

You can enter the waterfall right in the middle where the water seems the deepest, which also happens to be the spot where Glee says she will lead you.

Or, you can climb up the slippery, moss covered rocks to get to what looks like a large opening at the top of the waterfall.

CHOICES ARE:

ENTERING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WATERFALL, CLOSEST TO YOU TO SEE WHAT THE PUFFS ARE (SIGH0)

ENTERING THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WATERFALL, FARTHEST FROM YOU (SIGH14a)

ENTERING THE MIDDLE OF THE WATERFALL, CLOSEST TO YOU TO SEE WHAT THE PUFFS ARE (SIGH6c)

CLIMB UP THE ROCKS TO GET TO AN OPENING AT THE TOP OF THE WATERFALL (SIGH0)

Time to decide ...
