Flash Fiction #569 -- Pixie Myths/2

 

Before the Pixies had wings, they always argued with the bunnies.   They disagreed over who got a stand of clover or a fallen fruit.  If they met in an immense field, they'd argue over a tiny piece of it.

Then the big rain came, and flood waters began to rise. The bunnies rushed to high ground, herding the small ones ahead of them.

The pixies grabbed the bunnies and took them to safety, sometimes four grabbing one bunny at once.  The bunnies dug a warm burrow and invited the pixies in.

And pixies sometimes sleep with them to this day.
