Howlite Hilda smiles with delight. It is her turn to open a door!

Door eight sparkles with tiny quartz crystals, aligned in the shape of a tree.

Laughing she opens it, closing her eyes in anticipation and then slowly opening them.

A tiny glass vial confronts her. Nervously she picks it up. Tiny crystals of all colours are inside.

She opens it and tips a couple of crystals out – blue and pink. They are warm. She rubs them in her hands.

Suddenly they begin to grow! Slowly they extend, form head and legs and then sprout wings and fly out of her hands. They are tiny crystal fairies! Happily, they fly around her head, enjoying a taste of real life.

Hilda shares out the remaining crystals, and the other fairies begin to rub them, joy in their faces at the birth of new life.

A couple of the new tiny fairies fall in to the fountain – and emerge with mermaid tails.

Hilda rubs her hands in glee. Her door has been the best yet!
