Once upon a time, there were two wood sprites named Snookie and Maggie. Snookie was short and tended to all the flowers and grasses on the woodland floor. Maggie was tall and tended to all the leaves of the trees. One day while doing their daily walk through the forest checking on the flowers and trees they spied two butterflies. The two sprites squealed with delight! As everyone knows that butterflies have very magical powers. When captured the butterflies would bestow gifts to their captures so they could be set free.
Forgetting their duties the sprites chased after the beautiful butterflies. Deeper and deeper into the forest they chased the butterflies but, the butterflies flew so fast. Losing sight of the butterflies because she was so short Snookie called out to Maggie “Do you still see the butterflies?” Maggie looked around and pointed “Yes they flew over there…I think.” Maggie gulped as she looked at the directions the butterflies were flying. Maggie grabbed Snookie’s hand and whispered “Stop Snookie. The Butterflies flew into the dark part of the forest.” Snookie although short was the bravest of all the sprites in their woodland village. She looked up at Maggie and pulled her hand to move forward. “It’s just a little dark. Think of the gifts we could get if we capture them.” Not wanting to appear cowardly Maggie bolstered her courage and followed Snookie into the dark part of the forest.

The two sprites took out their glow crystals to light their way as they moved quietly and cautiously into the dark forest. . CRINNCH….CRUNCH was the sound of their tiny slippered feet on the forest floor. The air was stagnant, ripe with the smell of old rotting leaves. Low lying branches scratched at their arms and legs. A lone owl gave a hoot of alarm. The two sprites gave a yelp at the lonely haunting sound and ran deeper into the heart of the dark forest.

Maggie let out a wee shout of delight and pointed to the sight of a firefly. Snookie called out “oh there is one” as she spied another firefly. Suddenly without warning the two sprites were surrounded by fireflies. They smiled and giggled to see such a wonderful sight. The fireflies seemed to be guiding them to someplace magical. Just over a ridge and down through a tunnel of trees sprinkled with glowing fairy grass stood a pair of butterflies. Their wings looked huge to the two sprites hiding in the glowing fairy grass.

Snookie placed her hand over Maggie’s mouth and placed a finger over her lips “shhhh” Maggie with round eyes nodded her head. Snookie was thinking of a plan to capture these HUGE butterflies. She took out her little wand and began to rez out items she thought they would need. She began to mutter to herself “A net made out of sticky spider webs, a few fresh dewdrops for bait, some marsh mellow fluff……..” One of the butterflies wings started to flit and then a wondrous surprise shocked the two sprites. Why they were not just butterflies……they were the infamous butterfly winged horses known for bringing in the Spring!

Until now only tales from the wise ones in their woodland village spoke of these fabled beasts. Snookie and Maggie looked at each other in shock. A melodious sound reached their ears. A beautiful fae-like voice spoke to them “Do not be afraid little sprites. Our names are Josie and Ava. We are the Goddesses that bring in the spring and we need your help.” Snookie and Maggie clasped each other’s hands and moved out of their hiding place. The beautiful fae-like horses shook their glorious manes with approval of the sprite’s bravery. Magically four velvet sacks appeared at the sprite’s feet. “Take these sacks back to your village and give them to your elders. They will know what to do with them.” Said Josie. “But do not peek inside for the magic will disappear.” Warned Ava. Snookie puffed her chest just a wee bit “You can count on us.” She boldly replied.

Maggie and Snookie picked up the velvet sacks and watched the butterfly winged horses fly up and the air and then magically they disappeared. They quickly began to make their way back home. “I wonder what is in these sacks?” Asked Snookie aloud. Maggie looked down at her friend “I don’t know but remember what they said Snookie, we cannot look.” Snookie gave a little huff as she kicked a small pebble in the path. Snookie rolled her eyes at her friend thinking that Maggie was such a goodie two shoes. Maggie smiled at her friend’s impatience. “Look Snookie we are almost home” Called out Maggie. Snookie giggled with glee. To think they were given such a great honor to bring these magical sacks to their elders.

Finally, the two wee sprites entered their small woodland village. They called out to their fellow sprites “quick my friends come and see what we have!” The woodland village sprites quickly followed Snookie and Maggie to the town square. The Elders were waiting for them. Spying the four magical velvet sacks proclaimed in a loud voice “SPRING HAS ARRIVED!” Snookie and Maggie placed the four sacks at the Elder’s feet. The Elders smiled at them and began to wave their wee sprite wands chanting “with these sacks we do proclaim that spring has arrived!” The sacks magically dissipated to reveal four bridals. The Village of the Sprites gasped in awe and wonder at the four gorgeous bridles colored orange, purple, rainbow, and Candy Cane.

Maggie and Snookie looked at the gorgeous bridles but were much confused. How did bridles usher in the spring? They Scratched their wee heads in wonder. The Elders still waving their wands called forth four bumblebees. The bee’s majestic greeted the sprite elders. Each elder took one of the bridles and placed them on the bumblebees. Snookie and Maggie smiled at each other now understanding. The bees would pollinate the flowers for the spring wearing these magical bridles. The Bee’s looked at Maggie and Snookie “thank you for bringing us the magic to usher in the spring. We could not have done this without your bravery.” The woodland sprites let out a cheer “Huzzah for Maggie and Snookie!!” Snookie and Maggie blushed and giggled at the attention. This would surely be the best spring ever!

Dear Breeders, that concludes the Spring Fable of the Butterfly wings. Just like all fables, there is some truth to it. So let’s look at the facts:
In 2014 Amaretto released two LEs known as Spring Spirit named New Leaves and Budding Flowers. Breeders were delighted with those butterfly wings!! Although much to our dismay the wings and coats did not pass those gorgeous eyes did! You did not have to breed them together to get their hidden surprises. They gave us four new bridles! Rainbow Bridle, Purple Bridle, Candy Cane Bridle, and the Orange Bridle.

I hoped you enjoyed this little Spring Fable and always dear breeders stay tuned for more PEACH BUZZ connections!
