Catch Us If You Can

Chloe and Kayla Beth were waiting patiently for night to fall. They wanted to catch the fairies making the ring on their lawn. Their parents refused to believe in fairies, but Chloe and Kayla Beth knew they were there. One night, Chloe had an idea. “Let’s go out before it gets dark. We will hide so the fairies don’t know we are there. Then we will take pictures of them so we can prove to Mom and Dad that they really exist.”

Kayla Beth agreed it was a good plan. The hardest part, she told Chloe, would be finding a night when they could sneak out without worrying their parents. Luck was with them just a week later, when their parents decided to go out to eat. They invited the girls to go, too, but they both told their parents they should go and have a date night without them.

The minute their parents were out of sight, the two girls dressed all in black. They headed out in the direction where they knew the ring would appear. They hid behind a large tree, which had fallen onto the ground, and they waited.

When darkness fell, the fairies came out to play. At first, Chloe and Kayla Beth were so captivated by the sight that they forgot about taking pictures. At the last minute, Kayla Beth remembered her camera and began taking picture after picture. When the fairies finally disappeared, the two sisters ran from their hiding place and through the front door. They wanted to look at the pictures but knew they had precious little time to change and get ready for bed before their parents arrived home.

The minute they were both in their pajamas, Kayla Beth brought the camera over to Chloe’s room. They anxiously waited to see the first picture.

“There’s nothing there!” Chloe cried in dismay when she saw the pictures showed nothing except the backyard. In each photograph they took, there were no fairies to be found. Kayla Beth and Chloe were so disappointed, they went straight to bed. If they had only looked outside the window, they would have seen two little fairies laughing.
