It is day three of the Gemstone Glade advent calendar. Emerald Ella, a gentle green crystalline fairy, is jumping up and down with excitement.

Door three has a shining diamond, glinting secretively in the winter sun.

Slowly Ella opens the door. Tangerines fall out, four or five, all with icing on top carved in different shapes: a heart, a star, a baby, mistletoe and a cross.

Ella laughs with delight. Tangerines are popular fairy food.

The fairies gather and begin to feast.

The icing flies off the fruit, forming shapes mid-air, flying round the glade, then finally entering and disappearing in to the star at the top of the Christmas tree.

The fairies gaze after the shapes, then return to the feast. The smell of tangerines pervades the glade.
