The first 163 lines.
Have you ever wondered how nature gets its glow?
Who gives it light and color as the seasons come and go?
Who helps all creatures, great and small,
to walk, to swim, to fly?
Who crafts such tiny details?
You might see them if you try.
For it's all the work of fairies,
but they stay well out of sight.
And the first time that a baby laughs, a fairy's life takes flight.
Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hi.
Hello. Hello.
Hello?
Queen Clarion.
Born of laughter, clothed in cheer,
happiness has brought you here.
Welcome to Pixie Hollow.
I trust you found your way all right.
I think so.
Now, let's see about those wings.
What are these things?
They will help you find your talent, little one.
But how will I know which one is...
You'll know.
Hmm.
Whoa!
Never seen one glow that much before, even for Vidia.
You know, I do believe you're right.
Little daisy top might be a very rare talent indeed.
Come forward, tinker fairies,
and welcome the newest member
of your talent guild, Tinker Bell.
Glad we had a bath today, eh, Clank?
Excuse us! Coming through!
Sorry! Make way for tinkers!
Hady-hi, hady-ho, Miss Bell. I'm Clank.
Splinters, Clank. Say it, don't spray it.
Phineas T. Kettletree, Esquire, at your service.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Oh, foo! He's Bobble, I'm Clank.
Clank, Bobble.
We're pleased as a pile of perfectly polished pots you're here.
Uh...
Me, too.
Come on, Miss Bell. There's so much to show you.
You've arrived at a most wondrous and glorious time.
Really? Why?
Why, it's almost time for the changing of the seasons.
You see, here in Pixie Hollow, there are different realms for every time of year.
Well, there's one up ahead.
Winter Woods. It's always cold here.
Look there! Snowflake and frost fairies returning home for...
For some well-deserved rest.
Aye. They've just finished bringing winter to the world.
It's the off-season for the autumn fairies, too.
Always practicing that perfect shade of amber, eh?
And the fairies of Summer Glade
still have plenty of time to get ready.
But not as much as the autumn fairies,
of course, because, well...
Yes, Clanky. Because right now, fairies of every talent
are preparing for my favorite season, springtime!
Oh!
Get along. Get along, little sproutlings, and dig.
Hello, there!
Come on, Miss Bell. You've got to see where we live.
Welcome to Tinker's Nook.
Oh, wow!
Oh.
Come on. There's so much to show you.
Cute.
Just taking some supplies down...
They're taking supplies down to the workshop.
Let her go.
Watch out for falling...
Watch out for falling maple seeds!
Wow!
And over here is where most of us live. There's your house...
There's your house, Tinker Bell.
It's mine? Sure is.
We were hoping the new arrival would be one of us,
so we got the place all ready.
We rounded up some work clothes...
We didn't know your size. Yes, our apologies, but...
But they might be too big. Yeah, well, that's only...
'Cause you're so tiny.
That'll do, Clank.
Please come on down to the workshop when you're ready.
Fairy Mary will want to meet you.
Goodbye.
Oh.
Stop! What?
A five-gauge twig for an axle?
Clank, I told you it took a seven.
Oh, you said five.
I said seven! Oh, Clank, I tell you, sometimes you can be pretty,
pretty...
So pretty.
Who's that, then? It's Tinker Bell, you snail brain.
Wow, everyone seems so busy.
Well, spring won't spring itself.
Indeed, my bellowing buddy.
And we tinkers are a big part of it.
Allow us to elucidate, Miss Bell.
We fiddle and fix.
We craft and create.
We carve acorn buckets.
To hold flower paint.
Weave saddles and satchels.
For birdies, you see.
Make baskets and bushels.
To carry the seeds!
When preparing for spring.
We do all this and more!
Yes, being a tinker is never a bore!
Yes, being a tinker is never a bore!
That was great.
So you see, Miss Bell, we help fairies of every talent with our creations.
Unfortunately, all those fairies are out of luck this year.
Unless we can actually deliver these things to them.
The wagon repairs are finished, I trust?
Yes, Fairy Mary.
Tip-top shape. No wheels missing whatsoever!
Then let's see it.
Ah, you see... Well... See,
with your eyes? Define "see," actually...
You have to meet Tinker Bell!
What? Who?
She's new, Fairy Mary.
Nice to meet you.
Rapture! A new charge on whom we can lavish
all our tinkering wisdom and expertise!
Let me see those hands.
Teetering teapots, so dainty.
Don't worry, dear. We'll build up those tinker muscles in no time.
Okay.
Now, boys, the deliveries?
Aye, we're on it.
As a matter of fact, we're heading out right this second.
But we've only got one wheel.
What was that?
Nothing really, Clank was just asking...
If I can go as well!
Yeah! Good one. Very nice. Yes! I wondered that,
if you could go with us. Yes. That's exactly what he was saying.
Very well. Get on with it, then.
Slow down, Cheese, I can't keep up!
The mouse's name is Cheese?
Must be. He always comes when we yell it.
Sprinting thistles! Bobble! Bobble!
Easy. Easy, boy. It's all right. Fawn's got you.
Easy. Easy, girl. It's all right. Silvermist's got you.
Oh, you all right, sugar cane?
Be careful, Rosetta, she may faint!
Elevate her legs. No, wait. I mean her head.
Wait, wait, wait. Okay. If she's red, raise the head.
If she's pale, raise the tail.
Does she look pale or red?
She looks squished.
Sorry.
Here, let me, raindrop.
So, what happened to you, anyway?
Well, I... It was sprinting thistles!
