Meanwhile, at Tinkers’ Nook, a tall pile of acorn pails waiting for handles grew higher and higher on Tinker Bell’s worktable.

The nature fairies would need every bucket, pail, and basket they could get their hands on. Clank and Bobble worked at a feverish pace. Clank was busy assembling the bodies of the pails and putting them on Tink’s worktable so that she could make the handles. Bobble was weaving grass baskets.

It was hard work. Noisy, too. Clank grabbed a couple of wads of flower fluff and stuffed them into his ears. Then he cheerfully began to chop the tops off acorns to make pails. CHOP! WHAP! CHOP! WHAP! CHOP! WHAP!

Bobble continued to weave dainty blades of grass into baskets. He glanced over at Tink’s table. “Have you seen Tink?” he shouted at Clank.

“No, thank you. Not thirsty!” Clank yelled back.

CHOP! WHAP! CHOP! WHAP! CHOP! WHAP!

“Not ‘drink’!” Bobble yelled over the noise. “Tink!”

“Pink? I like purple m’self!” CHOP! WHAP! CHOP! WHAP! CHOP! WHAP!

“Tink!” Bobble bellowed in exasperation. “Have you seen Tink?”

Clank stopped, smelled his armpits, and scowled at Bobble. “I do not stink! Maybe it’s you.”

Clank finished his chopping and pulled the fluff from his ears. He looked over at Tink’s worktable and noticed the growing pile of pails to be mended. “Hey, have you seen Tink?” he asked Bobble.

Bobble fought the urge to strangle him and shook his head.

A worried look fell across Clank’s face. “Fairy Mary is going to be cross.”

Bobble nodded. “Aye, Clank. We’d better take some of this off Miss Bell’s plate.”

“All right, then.”

They flew over to Tink’s table. Bobble took a pail from the top of the pile just as Clank pulled one from the bottom.

“No, no, no!” Bobble cried. “Wait, wai—”

But it was too late.

CRASH!

The entire pile came sliding down. Bobble’s and Clank’s tidy worktables were now covered with mountains of unmended pails.

Unfortunately, Fairy Mary chose that very moment to come flying in.

“Will you two stop mucking about!”

Bobble and Clank each pointed a greasy finger at the other, hoping to escape a scolding. But Fairy Mary’s eagle eyes were on Tink’s table, which was now completely clear. “I see Tinker Bell has gotten her work done … mysteriously. Where is she, anyway?”

Bobble exchanged a nervous look with Clank and they both began talking at once.

“Well, see, she’s ah … ,” Bobble babbled.

Clank talked right over him. “She … um … she went with Cheese to, uh …”

But Cheese was in the corner of the workshop, and when he heard his name, he came right over. He clearly hadn’t gone anywhere with anyone.

Fairy Mary’s eyes narrowed.

Bobble worked desperately to save the situation. “Uhhhh … What Clank means is that she went to get cheese for the mouse because, um, he was whining.”

Clank, quick to catch on for once, hurried to back up the story. “Like a baby,” he added. The two fairies giggled nervously.

Fairy Mary gave them a long stare that let them know they weren’t fooling her. Then she took off.

Bobble let out a sigh of relief.
