"You might tell me fairy stories, you know: if you're a fairy you should know lots; or--oh yes, of course that would be far nicer--if you are a fairy you might take me with you to fairyland." Again the cuckoo shook his head. "Lots of children have been there." "I doubt it," said the cuckoo. "_Some_ may have been, but not lots. And some may have thought they had been there who hadn't really been there at all. |
