Devonshire fairy tale of fairies and white tulips

One night a Devonshire woman named Mary heard a noise in the garden and came out with a lantern to see what had happened. In her garden grew a few white tulips and a woman saw them inside a couple of adorable kids-fairies. She was just fascinated by this picture, and in the same autumn decided to plant more tulips, so they can accommodate all the crumbs of fairies. When the nights were moonlit, Mary walked quietly into the garden and watched the little ones blissfully sleeping in cups of tulips, swaying in the faint breeze. First fairy-sorceress feared that this unknown woman could not harm their children, but later, they saw with some interest and trepidation Mary takes care of the overnight accommodation for kids to have calmed down. Fairies wanted to Express their gratitude to the woman, but did not know how to do it. The smallest fairy offered to decorate tulips with bright colors and give them a fragrance. So the fairies did. Mary was delighted and every year until his death planted hundreds of tulips in the garden.

After her death, the house with the garden went to a very greedy relative. Mercantile and cruel, he first pulled out tulips and uprooted trees, because he believed that the flowers to plant unprofitable, and the trees obscure the garden from the sun. Such a cruel action caused deep disapproval among the fairies. As soon as the darkness fell on the city, they flew from the nearby forest and arranged dances on vegetables, pulled them out with roots, in every possible way spoiled them. This went on for several years. Only appeared vegetables or their seedlings, fairies destroyed them. The only place that was taken care of fairy-sorceress was grave Mary. She was invariably shrouded in gorgeous flowers, and delicious tulips that were planted in the head, bloomed and pleased with its aroma until the first frost. All were surprised of such resistance of tulips, and the fairies knew that in this way they thank their guardian even after her death.

So it took another couple of years. Instead, the greedy relative of the owner became even more ruthless, not at all fond of flowers. He paid the woodcutters, and they cut down the forest where the fairies lived, he completely launched Mary's grave, tulips were torn out, the grave trampled. Fairies left this place, but leaving took back the extraordinary aroma of tulips, leaving only a slight aroma to gardeners continued to grow them.

Thus was born the legend in England of white tulips.
