In this 298th ÿissue of the Baba Indaba?s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the fairy tale simply called ?THE FAIRY?
ONCE upon a time, long, long ago and far, far away there was, once upon a time, a widow, who had two daughters. The eldest was so much like her in the face and humour, that whoever looked upon the daughter saw the mother. However, they were both so disagreeable, and so proud, that there was no living with them.
The youngest, who was the very picture of her father, for courtesy and sweetness of temper, was withal one of the most beautiful girls ever seen. As people naturally love their own likeness, this mother even doated on her eldest daughter, and at the same time had a horrible aversion for the youngest. She made her eat in the kitchen, and work continually.
One day when drawing water at the well the younger sister was asked by an old woman to spare her a drink. This she did willingly and that?s things began to change??
Who was the old woman you ask? How did things change? Was it for the better or for the worse? What happened to the horrible mother and sister?

Tentang pengarang
The Baba Indaba Children's Stories, published by Abela Publishing, often uses folklore and fairy tales which have their origins mists of time. Afterall who knows who wrote the story of Cinderella, also known in other cultures as The Little Glass Slipper, or Cenerentola (Italian),ÿ Cendrillon, ou La petite Pantoufle de Verre (French), Aschenputtel (German), Tattercoats and Cap o? Rushes (English), or Conkiajgharuna (Georgian). There is still debate as to whether the story originated in Egypt or China. So who wrote the original? The answer is simple. No-one knows, or will ever know, so to assume that anyone owns the rights to these stories is nothing but nonsense. As such, we have decided to use the Author name "Anon E. Mouse" which, of course, is a play on the word "Anonymous".
