Flash Fiction #570 -- Pixie Myths/3

 

The bears frightened everyone as they rumbled and grumbled through the vast Garden of Avalon, only napping now and then.  They were always unhappy until the pixies taught them three things.


The first was to climb trees for fruits and nuts that smaller creatures couldn't reach. They were soon racing up sturdy trunks, though the birds didn't appreciate their large visitors.


Next, the pixies taught them the joy of honey which they loved despite occasional stings.


Best of all, the pixies taught the bears to sleep.  They liked it so well they began to sleep through most of the winter!
